I recently went on a long plane flight with my two little ones. I knew it was going to be a challenge travelling with a three year old and a 1.5 year old so I made sure I armed myself with all my kids' necessities.
I was also very thankful to have brought our CARES (Child Aviation Restraint System). I can't begin to tell you all how much CARES has made my flight way easier and better with my two little ones. (Yes, I had one for each of them).
When I first planned for this trip, one of my biggest concerns is how I could keep both of them,(especially my three year old boy), stay in their seats since I know airplane seat belts alone won't keep them safe and secure. CARES was the perfect answer to this concern. 
Designed specifically for aviation use for children age 1 and older weighing between 22 and 44 pounds, CARES is truly an invaluable travel solution. This is a great tool to have when children are old enough to be in their own seats, but are too small for the seat belt alone to protect them. CARES certainly helped my three year old (who had a seat of hiw own) withstand the jolts during our flight, and we avoided the hassles of having him flail forward or slide beneath the seat belt since he was held securely in place.
CARES was a convenient, hassle-free way to keep my young flyers safe!
Product Features:
-CARES is the first and only harness type Aviation Child Safety Device to be certified by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) as an alternative to a car seat.
-CARES is an elegantly designed belt-and-buckle device that works in conjunction with the regular airplane seat belt and provides young travelers the same level of safety as a car seat.
-CARES weighs just one pound and fits into a 6" stuff sack! It is easily portable, simple to install, adjustable to every size airplane seat, and usable on any seat in the airplane, except in the emergency exit rows.
No need to bring in your heavy car seat in-flight. Just check it through as luggage and carry CARES on board in your pocket!
“The Federal Aviation Administration strongly urges you to secure your child in an appropriate restraint based on weight and size. Turbulence can happen with little or no warning. And when it does, the safest place for your child is in a Certified Restraint System.” -From the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA)

This sounds like a great product. I have two toddlers. I will definitely check it out for future trips. Thanks for sharing.
I've been eyeing the CARES restraint for some time now and I'm glad to read your positive review!
I'd love to try this! If I win, I'll be able to use it in August when my son and I fly out to CA!
We are considering a trip with our brother and sisters and their families to Hawaii next year and this would be wonderful for the small children.

Wow that looks fantastic! Sign me up :)
The CARES restraint is a great idea! I could have really used this product on our last flight.
What a great idea. katie_mmartin at yahoo dot com.
This is a great product and is recommended by many of the flight attendants I've spoken to.
I'm glad you had a safe flight! How is your trip going?
I would loooove to try this out. If I won I would share it with my sister because it looks like we could mail it back and forth to each other before we visit each other. Just thinking about bringing the car seat makes me sweat.
We will be making yearly trips to Florida so this would be perfect!
We hope to travel to Europe this fall, and this would be a great way to make sure our son traveled safely.
Great review. I've been looking for something like this for my two kids.
I absolutely love the idea of not lugging around our carseat for my 2year old son. This device also looks much more comfortable for him! I have to get one before our next trip :)
This thing is amazing! Thanks for sharing it with everyone. Send one my way! ;) We could all use one!
That is a great idea!
I've always wondered if there was an alternative!

I think this is what I need for my flight to SF....except I need it sooner than the contest...but maybe I'll get lucky huh?
I have read about this product from several sites. I would love to win so that I can try it on our next trip back to Thailand. :)
What a great invention! Why didn't I think about this?

I would love to win this for my niece. It would be great for when they go on vacation.
This sounds like a great product - thanks for letting me know about it!
So convenient and lightweight that it would be absolutely worth taking along!

I have a 7, 4, 1 and infant and went on a flight with them all by myself, but I had the cares for my one year old and it saved me from the fights that could have occured. I only rented the one I used and would love to have one of my own.
Looks like a great product but has it been tested by the who ever needs to test these things?
This might be the ticket for us on our trip to Ireland later this year.
PLEASE COUNT ME IN ON THIS AWESOME GIVEAWAY :)iswwijx
I will be flying soon and this will help my child feel safe in the air.
Sounds like a great product! Living away from our families, we fly constantly with our toddler. This system would make the process a lot more simple!
This contest is now closed. The winner of this qonderful giveaway is The PIXLER'S. Congrats!!! :)
