I want to take my toddler flying but Im not sure on the best way to
secure him
in the aircraft!!! Im hoping to take him out in the club C172, hes
27months old
and im not sure whether I just use the lap strap or whether I could use
our
child car seat (not sure if these can be secured correctly in a Cessna?)
or any
other form of booster seat? Ive trawled the internet to no avail, so I
would
welcome any previous experience or advice that any of you have!
We managed to get hold of a CARES aeroplane harness. This allows you to use the normal lapstrap but provides a 5 point harness.
My little one sits in the back of my Archer on a booster cusion, with lap strap and CARES five point harness. She has a pair of kidz ear defenders (or my old pooleys training headset) and is very comfortable. Make sure you take a pillow with you as invariably they fall asleep in no time and you can prop it under their head.
I got the kidz ear defenders from transair and I think the harness came from Mothercare.
