Here is a link to the FAA approved CARES harness. http://www.kidsflysafe.com/ It costs about $75.
I fly about 75,000 miles a year for work. For the past 20 years. And we fly frequently as a family. My Dad is an Air Force veteran and recently retired from United Airlines. I grew up on air planes. Jumbo jets and props. At barely 3 years old, Sabrina is now a veteran of the friendly skies. In my family, it sort of comes with the territory. We just did a 10 hour flight to and from Germany for Christmas. For Sabrina, we just use the lap belt. Though I think we may invest in the harness for our next flight. Mainly for turbulence.
On a side note. A plane crash is NOT a car crash. The #1 thing that determines whether or not you survive a plane crash is your proximity to an exit row. With kiddos we cannot sit in an exit row, but if you can sit in a row within 5 rows of an exit, it will increase your chances. Like a fire in your home, succumbing to smoke inhalation is the main cause of death in a plane crash, and the faster you can exit the plane, the better your chances.
Sorry to be so morbid. Best wishes!
