Competition: Win CARES for your child’s holiday safety

By 51 Comments

The holiday season is around the corner and many of you will fly into the sun whilst on a plane for at least a couple of hours.
I don’t want to unneccessarily worry you: But have you ever wondered about your child’s safety considering there is only a lap belt to hold your child in case of an accident? All car seats or high chairs come with a great variety of safety features and several harnesses to make sure that your little one is safe. A plane that travels at a high speed however only provides you with a simple lap belt to ensure your toddler’s or child’s safety.

Louise Stoll, a former Department of Transport executive, found the perfect safety feature for parents traveling with children. The product called CARES stands for Child Aviation Restraint System and is a safety device designed for children who weigh between 22-44 lbs and that are sitting in their own airplane seats. The device that only weighs 1lb and provides an equivalent level of safety (ELOS) to a car seat can be used with every regular aeroplane lap belt and installs in just one minute on any size plane seat. A special DVD and instruction card guarantee the correct installation on board and a carrying pouch makes sure that you’ve got all your equipment together when you go on your holiday. CARES is currently allowed on all major EU airlines, all UK airlines and in the USA, Canada, New Zealand, Australia, Singapoore, Switerland and Israel. In the UK it can only be bought from Mothercare’s Online Store for £79.99 but because I know that holidays are expensive enough, I have one CARES to give away in today’s competition.

    I'm taking my boy abroad for the first time in May to Spain, but I would love to take him to Japan to visit my best friend in Tokyo! The CARES system looks great!
