CARES For Your Little Traveler
CARES is a child aviation restraint that slides around the seat back and attaches to the lap belt to give young children the much-needed sternum strap that traditional car seats provide.
The CARES child flight safety device is the only FAA certified child restraint that is equal to the safety level of a car seat. CARES is manufactured by AmSafe, the leading maker of airplane seat belts and pilot restraints.
CARES is the ONLY alternative to a car seat that is permitted on planes.
CARES is designed for children between 22 and 44 lbs who sit in their own seat.
CARES weighs only 1 lb and folds up very very small, making it exponentially easier to manage than a car seat!
It comes with it’s own 6″ storage sack and an instructional DVD (although it only takes one minute to install the CARES harness on the plane seat, watching the instructional DVD might boost your confidence).
CARES has won numerous awards, including the Good Housekeeping 2008 Good Buy Award, the National Parenting Center 2007 Seal of Approval, and several others!
My preschooler enjoys wearing the CARES harness while in-flight, because it is like a “pilot” or even a “hero” restraint.
It saves me some headache because the CARES harness reminds him to stay in his seat, and isn’t as easy for him to unbuckle as the standard airline lap belt.
Family Travel Gear is giving one VERY lucky Mom Most Traveled reader a CARES safety restraint (retail value $74.95)!
To enter, visit the Family Travel Gear website and look around.

When will you use your CARES?

We are taking a 12 hour car trip for Thanksgiving. It sure would be great to have the Kids Car Organizer XL to hold all of the toys, etc.

I’d love the Travel Organizer Bag - it is just what I need for any travel.
08 November 2008, 1:11 pm
I’d get the Kids Car Organizer XL !!! It would be nice to be able to keep the toys from under the seats of the van, or on the floor !!!

I really like the Kids Travel: A Backseat Survival Kit. They have some really great things. Thank you for the chance!

The baby sherpa diaper backpack.
08 November 2008, 8:00 pm
This would be perfect for our 16 plane ride in February with a 2 and 3 year old. The tray organizer, monkey backpack, or the monkey pillow would be great too.
08 November 2008, 8:17 pm
Kids Travel: A Backseat Survival Kit looks like it would be handy to have on long trips.

The trayblecloth play kit looks great, but I think the toddler coddler would be great for my nieces for when they fall asleep on long car trips!
09 November 2008, 2:47 am
I would so love to have the CARES harness for when I fly with my son- I am so tired of hauling the car seat on the plane! And the Trayblecloth looks like an awesome idea- no more icky airplane tray and so much better for him to work on!
09 November 2008, 4:07 am
The Kids Car Organizer would be so useful!

Trunki Original Ride-on Suitcase
I mentioned in your other contest - my son, wife, 3 kids, Mother-in-law, brother-inlaw, wife and 2 kids (10 in all) are heading to that BIG Florida Theme Park New-Year’s Eve. This will be a first-time advenure and I wonder how it will play out. The ride-on suitcase is really a cute idea, especially for grandaugher who will turn 3 on that day and is quiet a handful to say the least. There will be 5 kids - the oldest just turned 7, so this will certainly be a hectic event.

11 November 2008, 2:51 am
I travel frequently with my daughter, flying with her about 3-4 times per year. We travel to the east coast to see grandpa, the west coast to see grandma, the northeast to see aunts and uncles, and stay in the midwest (still by air) to visit my daughter’s birth mother. The CARES child flight safety device would be awesome to have on these flights.
The BedBugz portable bed bolster by Toddler Coddler would be an amazing addition to our travel gear as I never know where we’ll be sleeping and whether or not they’ll have adequately kid safe sleeping arrangements.

I like the Trayble Cloth Activity Center. That’s great for occupying the kids and protecting everything.
15 November 2008, 6:40 pm
The CARES harness is a wonderful product, I so covet one! I also like the planesheets, the washable plane seat covers - neat idea. I’d use the CARES harness for when my daughter and I fly to visit my family - a 19 hour flight from the USA!

We are traveling by air with our 3 young children to New England for the Christmas holidays. Both my family and my husband’s families live there. Another item we would love to have for holiday travel from Family Travel Gear is the Baby B’air Flight Vest Travel Harness. I have a 5 month old daughter (she will be 6 months at the time we travel) and this product looks like something we should purchase for the trip. But, we also have a 3 year old and the CARES child flight safety device is something I am so pleased to learn about because I think we can use this for him!! Thank you so much for the opportunity to enter this wonderful giveaway!

After just returning home from a trip this morning, airline travel with a young child is very fresh in my mind. Gotta say, for a young child the baby b’air flight vest is a thought, but the CARES restraint looks great for slightly older kids (the category mine falls into!)
18 November 2008, 10:27 pm
It sure would be great to have the Kids Car Organizer XL to hold everything.

19 November 2008, 6:23 am
I have always wanted CARES to use with my youngest kids. The airline approved car seats are next to impossible to fit through the aisles and then get hooked up into the airline seats and all the attendants always refuse to help. I think it is a WONDERFUL idea.
The other thing I think would be a sweet blessing is the Snack and Play Travel Tray. It would even be a great thing for in my van when I take our older teen back n forth to high school each day. We spend about 1.5-2 hours commuting a day now.
