Zazu Posted July 15, 2009 Report Share Posted July 15, 2009 I have a pretty good car seat which my little one is about ready to grow out of. I was thinking of donating to our organization for use in our A-Stars given the seatbelts work the same as in vehicles. Tried to do a little research but didn't come up with anything definitive as far as CAR's was concerned. Will be making phone calls to Transport soon but in the meantime any constructive input as far as regulations, experiences, liability etc etc would be greatly appreciated.

MMike Posted July 15, 2009 Report Share Posted July 15, 2009 I'm no expert but to be fully legal mod, I think it would need some level of TSO approval for the restraints themselves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

splitpin Posted July 15, 2009 Report Share Posted July 15, 2009 I'm no expert but to be fully legal mod, I think it would need some level of TSO approval for the restraints themselves. Agreed. Crashworthiness, fireproof, etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CD Posted July 15, 2009 Report Share Posted July 15, 2009 As requested: AWM Chapter 537 - Airworthiness Standards Appliances 537.203 - Child Restraint System 537.203 is eventually going to be replaced with an updated list of acceptable standards in Chapter 551, including devices meeting TSO-C100b. The content of that standard can be reviewed at the following NPA link: NPA 2003-009 AWM Chapter 551, Section 501 (New Section) Child Restraint Systems Subpart 605 - Aircraft Requirements 605.28 - Child Restraint Systems Advisory Circular AC 605-003 - Child Restraint Systems Basically, if the child restraint is properly marked and labeled as meeting CMVSS 213, CMVSS 213.1 or FMVSS 213 and hasn't reached its expiry date, it is acceptable for use on board Canadian aircraft.
