The Orbit Baby Infant Car Seat is certified for use in aircraft without the Orbit
Baby Car Seat Base and is labeled as such on the car seat side label. Most
airlines in the U.S. and Canada will allow the use of a car seat that is labeled as
an approved child restraint for aircraft use. Always contact the airline about their
car seat policy before traveling, and follow their guidelines for car seat use.
To secure the car seat rear-facing in an aircraft seat:
1. Follow the instructions in the section Installing the Car Seat: Without the Car
Seat Base using a vehicle lap belt.
2. Make sure that the aircraft seat belt can be tightly secured around the car
seat. If the aircraft lap belt is too short, ask your flight attendant for a belt
extender. Do not use the car seat if the aircraft seat belt does not hold the
car seat tightly.
3. Recline the aircraft seat back when installing the seat; then bring it back
upright for an even tighter installation.
Using the Car Seat on an Aircraft
Tips For Using the Car Seat With Your Child on an Aircraft:
1. Reserve a separate aircraft seat for your child and the car seat.
2. Contact the airline in advance to be sure this car seat complies with their
specific requirements, and to check whether they will provide discounted
tickets for children.
3. Familiarize yourself before the flight with the Installing the Car Seat without
Car Seat Base section of this manual, watch installation videos and read
FAQ’s on our website at www.orbitbaby.com/support, and practice the
installation at home.
4. Ensure your manual is in the pocket of the rear panel on the back of your car
seat for your reference.
5. Bulkhead seats or business class seats are preferred, as they have more
room in front of them.
6. Install your car seat in a window seat to avoid blocking egress from the row.
7. Take advantage of pre-boarding for families with children. The extra time will
help to get the car seat installed securely.
The Orbit Baby Infant Car Seat is certified for use in
aircraft when installed on its own WITHOUT the car seat
base. It cannot be used with the car seat base.
