Can CARES be used for special needs children who are over the 44 lb weight and 40 inch height limitations?

0

If your special needs child is over the weight/height limitation for which CARES is currently certified, and your child’s medical advisor thinks CARES is an appropriate restraint, you can request an “Exemption” (from current regulations) from the FAA so you can use it. Larger special needs youngsters who are granted this exemption will be seated in the last row of a section of the plane, so no one sits behind the child who might brace against that seat. The FAA exemption will be valid on all US airlines. Contact Nancy Claussen at Nancy.L.Claussen@faa.gov for how to apply for this exemption .
