About

This video describes a webinar about keeping children safe on airplanes. It highlights the importance of using child restraint systems (CRS) for infants and young children during flights. The FAA recommends CRS but does not require them due to cost concerns, which might lead families to choose riskier car travel instead. The presentation also covers different types of restraints, regulations, and challenges parents face when flying with kids. It emphasizes that while air travel is generally safe, using proper restraints can further protect young passengers from injury or death.
