restraint device). Only approved child restraint devices can be used on board

Weight restrictions are specified on all child restraint devices.
Aft-facing devices are generally restricted to babies weighing less than 9 kg

children weighing 9 to fewer than 30 kg (20 to 65 lb).
A combination system (i.e. both a child restraint system and a

restraint system and the internal harness system is installed, and all
labelling requirements are met. It must not be used in-flight as a booster

her own paid seat.
A restraint device that cannot be restrained due
to size, design, or damage must be transported as checked baggage as it
cannot be stowed under the seats or in the overhead bins.

The car seat must have its own inbuilt restraint system and be of a
type approved for use in motor vehicles.
Please note: the Business Premier lie-flat seats and Premium Economy
SpaceSeats are sideways facing therefore the seatbelt has an airbag in it.
This means infant car seats and the CARES restraint system are not able to be
used in the Premium Economy SpaceSeat on the B777-300 aircraft and Business
Premier lie-flat seats on all B747 and B777 aircraft as it would impede the
deployment of the airbag in the event of an emergency. Infants under the age
of 2 years are still able to be seated on their parent/guardian's lap and
will be provided with a specially designed infant's seat belt which will not
inhibit the safety features of the airbag seat belt.
Depending on the age and size of your child, the type of child seat may
be aft (rear) or forward facing. A child seat may only be used in an aft
(rear) facing position if it doesn't interfere when the seat in front
reclines.
These dimensions apply to B747, B777, B767, B737
and A320 aircraft.

included in your free baggage allowance and can be taken on board in addition
to hand luggage. Since the CRS must be attached to a passenger seat, a CHILD
