Bassinets on Qantas aircraft are approximately 71cm long, 31cm wide, and 26cm deep.\n\nIf your infant doesn't comfortably fit within these specifications, they'll need to travel in the lap of the accompanying adult. In this case, you may be moved from your bassinet seat to accommodate other customers travelling with infants.\nChild car seats and restraint systems\n\nChild car seats must have at least one the following relevant certifications:\n\nCountry of sale\n\nStandard design or requirements\n\nAustralia and/or New Zealand\n\nAustralian/New Zealand design standard: AS/NZS 1754\n\nNew Zealand standard: NZS5411.\n\nAmerica\n\nEither:\n\nFederal Aviation Administration (FAA) of the United States of America standard FMVSS 213, or\nboth the following markings: \"This Restraint is Certified for Use in Motor Vehicles and Aircraft\" in red lettering and \"This seat conforms to all applicable Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards (FMVSS)\".\n\nCanada\n\nAny one of the following:\n\nCanadian Motor Vehicle Safety Standard CMVSS 213 entitled \"Child Restraint Systems\",\nCMVSS No. 213.1 entitled \"Infant Seating and Restraint Systems\", or\nmarked \"this restraint is certified for use in motor vehicles and aircraft\".\n\nEurope and UK\n\nEuropean Safety Standard requirements of United Nations ECE Regulation 44 (UN/ECE 44).\nIf you'd like to use a child car seat or restraint system on board, you'll need to pay the child fare for a seat, and your child seat or restraint must meet specific safety standards. Booster seats are not permitted.\n\nPlease review the standards for car seats or restraints, and make sure you show staff your items when you arrive at the airport to get approval before you fly.\n\nChild restraint system\n\nThe Child Aviation Restraint System (CARES) is an approved alternative to car seats. This harness style restraint device is suitable for a child weighing 10-20kg (22-44lb) whose height is 100cm (40in) or less and who is capable of sitting upright alone. It's required to be fitted to the aircraft seat by the responsible adult travelling with the child. Find out more about the CARES system.\n\nThe following information can be used as a guide:\n\nForward facing child restraint systems for infants and children weighing between 9 and 18kgs (20lbs and 40lbs).\nRear facing child restraint systems for infants weighing under 9kgs (20lbs) (although some seats may be certified to carry children of greater weight). Rear facing seats are generally large and may not fit in Economy seats or only selected seats. Rear facing seats are permitted without an attachment base only if certified by the manufacturer as suitable for installation in aircraft seats without the base. You will need to contact your local Qantas office to make arrangements for the seat.\n\nFor children over the age of four or over 18kgs (40lbs) and/or over 100cm tall - an aircraft seat is recommended.\n\nAll restraints must be in good condition, show no signs of damage and be fitted to the aircraft seat in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions by the responsible adult travelling with the child.\n\nAircraft types and using a car seat or child restraint on board\n\nThe following information applies to Qantas operated flights on the following aircraft types: Airbus A330, Airbus A380, Boeing 737, Boeing 787:\n\nthe seat must have a single release harness, which secures the child's lap/torso/shoulders,\nthe use of booster seats and capsules are prohibited,\nthe parent/guardian is responsible for fitting the car seat/child restraint according to the manufacturer's instructions (using the aircraft seat belt), and for ensuring that the infant/child is seated and secured correctly,\nthe parent/guardian must occupy a seat beside the car seat/child restraint,\nit must not impede the evacuation of other passengers,\nit must not be fitted to an aisle seat if it will impede the evacuation of other passengers,\nit must not be fitted in an emergency exit row,\nif more than one car seat/child restraint is required, it may be fitted to each row provided they are from the same family,\nthe seat in front must be able to fully recline,\ncar seats which incorporate a top attachment point, must only be fitted in specific car seat attachment locations.\n\nOnce the car seat/child restraint is fitted, cabin crew will check:\n\nthe infant/child is restrained within the car seat/child restraint,\nthe infant/child car seat/child restraint is correctly restrained using the aircraft lap belt and that there is no slack in the belt and it fits within the aircraft seat space,\nthe aircraft seat armrests are lowered, and\nthe aircraft seat is in the fully upright position.\n\nIf the above requirements are not met, the device will not be permitted for use.\nCar seats and child restraints requiring a top tether point\n\nQantasLink flights (QF1400 - 2899) operated by Dash-8 aircraft or Fokker aircraft can't accommodate a child car seat that is only certified for use if a top tether point is used to secure it. Be aware that this includes some Australian certified car seats.\nPreparing for travel on Qantas\n\nThe safety of our infant travellers is our top priority, so it's important customers ensure that they review this information, to avoid issues during your travel.\n\nCustomers are responsible for supplying their own car seat or child restraint system.\nEnsure you have checked the requirements for your car seat or child restraint.\nAt check-in, you'll need to show your device to our airport staff.\nOn board, you'll need to show your device to cabin crew, prior to installing.\nCustomers are responsible for installing the device themselves and this will be checked by cabin crew.\nNon-compliant devices may be required to be checked in, as overhead locker space cannot be guaranteed.\nCabin crew decision is final regarding the use of devices on board aircraft."},{"id":2,"airline_id":2,"onboard_allowed":"conditions","approval_required":"any","must_purchase_seat":"yes","approved_seat_positions":"Window only.

A car seat doesn't count towards your carry-on baggage allowance.\n\nYou must contact us by phone to add a car seat to your booking, as a limited number can be fitted on each flight.\nThe car seat must meet regulatory requirements.\nIf your child weighs more than 18kg they can't fly in an Australian-designed car seat. You need to purchase them an allocated seat.\nUnapproved car seats are carried as checked baggage for free, regardless of fare and in addition to any checked-baggage allowance.\nCar seats must be fitted onto window seats and can't be used in exit rows (including extra legroom seats).\nCar seats can't be used on any Jetstar Japan (GK) flights.\n\nAt the airport\nIf you've booked a car seat for your infant or young child to sit in, take it to the Jetstar check-in area. A Jetstar team member will check that your car seat meets the requirements listed below. When it's been approved:\n\nTake your car seat through security and get to the boarding gate with plenty of time to spare.\nBoarding gates open 30 minutes before domestic flights depart, and 50 minutes before international flights.\nLet the team at the gate know that you have booked a car seat.\nYou'll be one of the first onboard, so you can fit the car seat to the aircraft seat before the rest of the passengers begin boarding. Most car seats can be easily fitted using the seatbelt.\nThe crew will check that you have fitted the car seat correctly and attach an extra strap if it is needed.\n\nTo check your car seat in as checked baggage free of charge, go to the airport check-in desk, or ask a team member for help.\nCar seat requirements\nAustralian designed car seats must:\n\nHave Australian Standard Sticker AS1754 attached\nFit on an airline seat\nAllow the seat in front to recline\nBe in good condition, showing no signs of damage\n\nUS-designed car seats must:\n\nComply with the US Standard FMVSS213\nHave a FAA (Federal Aviation Association) sticker that reads 'Certified for motor vehicles and aircraft'\nBe in good condition, showing no signs of damage\n\nCar seats designed in other countries will be assessed on their design and condition. They must:\n\nHave a well-defined shell that is connected securely to any under-structure\nHave a single release harness that secures your child's lap belt, and torso and shoulder straps. It can't be unreasonably easy for your child to undo\nHave straps that are at least 2.5cm wide\nHave strap adjusters that need upward lift to release\nBe in good condition, showing no signs of damage\nBe quick and easy to secure or remove your child\nConform to NZ Standard 5411 (for New Zealand designed seats)\nConform to European Standard ECE4L (for European seats)\n\nRear facing car seats\nWe don't give our approval for rear-facing car seats as they usually inhibit the seat in front from reclining. Australian designed rear-facing seats also have top restraint points that are often too far for the straps to reach. However, we can approve your rear-facing car seat if the straps are acceptable and a family member or friend sits in the seat in front and is happy for their seat to remain upright.\nBooster seats\nBooster seats can't be used during our flights. It isn't safe for infants and small children to sit on booster seats or cushions during take-off and landing. The rapid shifts in speed can cause these items to slip out from under them and make the seatbelts ineffective. They can be carried free of charge as checked baggage.\nCARES (Child Aviation Restraint System) restraint\nJetstar accepts the use of Child Aviation Restraint System (CARES) restraints on flights operated in Australia. The product has been endorsed by the US FAA (Federal Aviation Administration) and the NTSB (National Transport Safety Bureau) for carriage on aircraft and is the only commercial restraint device to be certified by the FAA as an alternative to a car seat. We cannot assist with fitting the restraint in-flight. We'll ask you to ensure the restraint is used in line with its original operating manual. We also ask that the restraint remains in its original manufactured condition, including all labels. CARES is designed specifically for aviation use for children age one and older who weigh between 10kg (22 pounds) and 20kg (44 pounds). It is a belt-and-buckle device that works in conjunction with regular aircraft seat belts without interfering with the tray table behind. CASA does not approve or endorse the CARES restraint but rather accepts the FAA approval under CASR 21.305(d) and 21.502."},{"id":3,"airline_id":3,"onboard_allowed":"conditions","approval_required":"any","must_purchase_seat":"yes","approved_seat_positions":"Not in aisle or exit rows.
