Where are the permitted locations of a Child Restraint Seat (CRS) on the aircraft?

• A. In the cockpit only
• B. In the aisle seat only
• C. Forward facing aircraft seat only. Parent/guardian must be seated in same row, two or more CRS may be placed side by side as long as all adults occupy seats with unrestricted access to an aisle. CRS may face FWD or AFT in accordance with label instructions.
• D. Anywhere as long as it's not in the exit row

Answer: (C)

CRS use is limited to a regular cabin seat that faces forward, not the cockpit or an aisle position. The child must be in a seat that is equipped with a standard seat belt, and the supervising adult must be in the same row so help is readily available. If more than one CRS is used, they can be side by side only when all the accompanying adults sit in seats that keep the aisle accessible for quick egress and supervision. The direction the CRS faces is determined by the device’s label and installation instructions, so it may be used forward-facing or rear-facing as allowed by the manufacturer. This combination of seat placement, supervision, and device orientation keeps the child safely restrained while ensuring the cabin crew and other passengers can move and assist as needed.
