Hello,

I have airbags in my Cessna, and the label says that I must use a proper child seat that will disable the airbags. Where do i find this seat?

Also, how can I protect the 5 year old's ears from the noise?

Thank you,
Cory
 
The label on the airplane says the airbag needs to be disabled? If it's one of the Amsafe belts I don't see how that could be a hazard - they aren't quite like car airbags. IF that is the case see if Cessna recommends any specific seat.
 
It is the airbags in the rear seats that have that label. I will take a pic of the label and upload for all to enjoy. Thanks for the link for the hearing protection.
 
There should be two sets of buckles in your back seat for each seating position. If you use the buckles with the longer cloth strap it will disable the airbag.

Wow! That is good info, I had no idea there were two sets of belts in the backseat!

To the OP, if your 5 year old generally uses a booster in the car, check to make sure it's FAA approved for use in aircraft before putting it in a plane. Most boosters are NOT approved for use in aircraft, unlike most baby carseats, which are. By age 5, the child would probably be okay in the back just using the airplane seatbelt. Generally speaking, if the carseat uses the car's seat belt to secure the child, don't use it on a plane. If it uses a 5-pt harness built into the restraint, then it's probably approved for use on airplanes. Every carseat has a sticker on it, usually the side or the back, that should tell you whether or not it's FAA approved.

I just flew this weekend with my 5 and 8 year old. I borrowed extra headsets for them and made sure they fit. They could have also worn my old faithful DCs as well. It is a matter of checking the fit. AND making sure they are onboard with wearing them.

My biggest issue was my 5 year old discovering that making the 'phfft, phfft' sound like a rapper and my 8 year old wanting to try singing because they could hear themselves in their headsets.

Every kid I've taken flying that is about 8 or younger, that's all they care about. I look in the back and they're not even looking outside. Just chatering away to each other on the headset. It's always funny when I tell their parents that's all they'll do, they don't believe me till we take off.
 
okay, so I'm a dummy. there are two sets of buckles as mentioned above, and if I just read all the labels and looked at the pics, i would of figured that out. but I didn't.

Child seats usually require the seat belt to go through the seat it self. Thats your hazard.
