AIRCRAFT INSTALLATION
THIS CHILD RESTRAINT IS CERTIFIED FOR AIRCRAFT USE.
UPPAbaby and the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) strongly
recommend that children up to 40 lbs (18 kg) use a certified
harnessed child restraint or other device approved for aircraft travel.
When installing this child restraint on an airplane, install the
Carrier Installation with Vehicle Seat Belt/Lap

IMPORTANT: Make sure that the aircraft buckle does not
interfere with the belt guides on the infant carrier.
IMPORTANT NOTES:
• Notify the airline ahead of time that you'll be traveling with
a child restraint.
• Install this carrier in a window seat to avoid blocking the aisle.
• Ask for a seat belt extender if the lap belt is too short.
• Use only on a forward-facing aircraft seat.
• DO NOT use this restraint if a secure installation cannot be
achieved.
• Place carry handle in any of the (3) locked positions for use
in the aircraft as long as it doesn't interfere with the back of
the seat in front of the carrier.
WARNING!
• DO NOT use base with aircraft installation.
Only the carrier is certified for aircraft use.
• Inflatable seat belts are NOT compatible
with this child restraint.
