Booster seats: A booster seat (or booster cushion) is defined as a removable device for use in a vehicle for the purpose of accommodating a child in an elevated position or a person weighing 18 kg (40 lb) or more. It is designed to be used with a car's three-point seat belt (lap and diagonal) and is therefore not approved for use in aircraft.
Abdominal belts and vests or harness-type devices.
Hammock-type seats, such as Fly LegsUp and Flyebaby.
^{Little Cargo�} seats (even though manufacturers claim they are approved for use in aircraft).

The following devices are not approved for use as a restraint device during taxiing, takeoff, and landing, or at any time when the fasten seatbelt sign is illuminated; they may, however, be used for comfort at all other times during the flight.

Baby carriers of the kangaroo/sling type, similar to the Snugli ^� or Baby Bjorn ^� , are accepted as part of the baby's carry-on baggage allowance if required for use on board the aircraft. Parents or guardians will have to remove the baby from the carrier whenever the fasten seatbelt sign is illuminated.
Baby beds similar to the Flyaway Kids Bed and BedBox cannot block hallway access and must be stored when the fasten seatbelt sign is illuminated.

Air Canada Signature Class

For safety reasons, child restraint devices are not permitted in the Air Canada Signature Class cabin. Some exceptions apply. Please contact Air Canada Reservations for details.
Babies under 2 years old can travel in the Air Canada Signature Class cabin, but must remain on an adult's lap.
When occupying a Classic Pod or Executive Pod seat in Air Canada Signature Class, a child aged 2 to 11 years must be seated in front, directly behind, or in an adjacent seat facing the accompanying parent or guardian.
^{CARES �} [Aviation Child Restraint System] child restraint devices cannot be installed in the Air Canada Signature Class cabin.

All approved devices must fit between the seat armrests. They must be installed according to the device instructions and secured using the seat belt installed in the aircraft seat.
Weight restrictions are specified on all child restraint devices.
- Rear-facing devices are generally restricted to babies weighing less than 9 kg (20 lb).
- Forward-facing devices are generally restricted to infants or children weighing between 9 and less than 30 kg (20 to 65 lb).
A combined system (i.e., both a child restraint system and a booster cushion) is accepted for in-flight use, provided it is used as a child restraint system and the internal harness system is installed, and all labeling requirements are met. It must not be used in flight as a booster cushion ^* with the internal harness system removed.
Bag-type baby carriers (e.g., Snugli ^� , Baby Hawk, or Ergo) are permitted for use on Air Canada flights, except during takeoff, landing, taxiing on the tarmac, and anytime the fasten seatbelt sign is illuminated.
A child restraint device that cannot be secured due to size, design, or damage must be transported as checked baggage, as it cannot be stored under seats or in overhead compartments.
Please contact your travel agent or Air Canada Reservations for more information and possible exceptions to these rules (e.g., for medical reasons).

^* A booster seat (or booster cushion) is defined as a removable device for use in a vehicle for the purpose of accommodating in an elevated position a person whose mass is 18 kg (40 lb) or more. It is designed to be used with the three-point seat belt (lap and diagonal) of an automobile and is therefore not approved for use in aircraft.

For all destinations, infants and children aged 0 to 11 years can check in a car seat or booster seat free of charge, in addition to their regular baggage allowance.
Customers must write their name and address on all devices using a permanent marker (Sharpie type).
If you are traveling with a car seat for a child aged 2 or older, we recommend using it on board instead of checking it in. See our Child Wellbeing and Safety section.

A child restraint device can only be accepted as carry-on baggage in addition to the infant/child's carry-on baggage allowance if a seat has been purchased for the infant/child.
Baby carriers/cloth slings, such as Snugli� or Baby Bjorn�, are accepted in addition to the baby's carry-on baggage allowance if needed for use on board the aircraft. These carriers are not approved for use as a "restraint device" and cannot be used during taxiing, takeoff and landing, or at any time when the fasten seatbelt sign is illuminated. Parents or guardians will have to remove the baby from the carrier every time the fasten seatbelt sign is illuminated.
