A child restraint device (CRD) or a child restraint system (CRS) is considered to be acceptable

Air Europa accepts an age-appropriate child restraint device on all of its flights, provided that a seat has been reserved for the child on the flight.

Confirmation must always be obtained from Air Europa before bringing a child restraint device on board.

However, if there are vacant seats, an infant seat may be accepted on board, even if a seat has not been reserved in advance for the child.

The instructions for use must be taken along, so that the approval labelling can be checked. Air Europa does not, however, guarantee the placement of a child restraint device in the seat reserved. If the safety seat does not fit into the seat or it cannot be safely secured, it will be placed in the overhead bin or the hold of the aircraft.

CRDs can be used for infants/children between the ages of 6 months and 3 years

The CRD and its harness must be designed so that the child can easily and quickly be secured in or removed from it.
