The Collapse From the summer of Delta air lines in Toronto this week he pointed out potential dangers to fly with a young child sitting on the wing of adults. The plane rolled over, which would be kept on a baby extremely difficult.
Authorities did not say whether the 18-month old child who was injured in a collision vehicle on the parent wing. All 21 people who were injured were released from the hospital, but little children died in previous collisions.
Despite the recent rash Aviation disastersAir accidents remain rarely, but children could easily be injured if they are on the parent’s wing when the plane is encountered on turbulence.
Experts agree that she is safer for children under 2 years to have their own air seats and drive in approved car seats when flying, even if families have to pay for an additional ticket. But babies are still allowed to travel in circles, so parents still work in spite of the risks.
“The saddest part is that most families who travel with the wing believes that is because it is permitted, it is certainly,” said former stewardes in the face after just lost 22 months – old son when Their plane crashed and broke into several pieces near Sioux City, Iowa, 1989. years.
Brown stopped that mother to climb back into the United Areas wreck 232 after the vacation had been upside down in corn.
“I told her what I thought he would stop: to find it to save him. And she just looked up at me and said,” You told me I put my baby on the floor. And I did. And he left. ‘And so I think that was a moment that I became a child seat lawyer, “Brown said.
From four-bed children in that plane, three were injured, and the female son was among the 112 people who died.
The 6-month-old boy who is traveling to the parent’s parent was killed in 2012. year when the plane landed hard and violated the end of the runway in Nunavut, Canada. Last year, three infants in circles could be kicked out of airplane airplanes after A aircraft The door plug has flew up medium lightBut none sat close enough to open that it happened.
The National Committee for Transportation and its colleague in Canada, security committee for transportation, long recommend that small children fly only in approved car seats to protect them. The Federal Aviation Administration also recommends the use of car seats, but does not require it despite the lobbying from the advocate.
In addition to these security regulators, the U.S. Academy of Pediatrics and most of the main shopping groups of airline and support trade unions that require small children to fly on approved car seats.
The chief investigators of collision in the United States and Canada began by recommending car seats under 2 and specialized security systems for older children until they are higher than 40 inches (102 centimeters) after deadly collisions in their countries decades ago.
“We were all there at that moment in your life when you have little kids. You’re not swimming in money. And if you can avoid buying an extra seat, it is a fully understanding reaction,” said NTSB And Tom Chapman. “It’s just that people don’t understand the risk of subjecting their child not to buy that seat and refrain them properly.”
Not only is that safer for children to ride on their own seats, but is more comfortable for parents who do not have to hold a run for hours in the air.
The Security Lawyer and Mother Michelle Pratt, who found themselves safe at the seat, no matter how tempting it is to check that the wing of the baby box, the family should get all the map.
“Your baby could cost less than your checked suitcase. Why not take advantage?” Pratt said.
Some parents like Clare Ronning are not convinced. After landing in Burbank, California, with his wife and a 5-month-old child on Thursday, she said he did not see the need for car seats on the plane.
“I really don’t see the difference, personally,” Ronning said, who had already taken a daughter on six flights. “It seems like another money.”
But Meredith Tobitsch never imagined flying without headquarters for his three-year-old daughter and he will not do it with his 14-month old man, in the safety and practical concerns.
“If there would be turbulence, your natural reflex would be to let your child said, which lives in Connecticut, adding that her oldest daughter was always sleeping on her car seat, and flights were always hosted .
“Obviously, it adds air trip costs for families, but it’s security. At least we’re lucky to do it,” she said.
FAA relies on the study that is in the 1990s to justify that they do not require families to buy ticket tickets for children under 2.
Justification is that if the families had to buy those additional tickets, they can take them more instead of flying. Because the ride is risky, it would mean that more children will die in car crashes than they would be saved in airplanes if autosetac and separate carets are needed.
Chapman with NTSB thinks that the logic is stretching, and the study should be revised, especially because the plane tickets today are accessible.
But the Andrea Arredondo parent suggested that it could be some true, saying that it can fly less if it has to buy a ticket and onions along the car seat for your 4-month-old and two older children.
“I would probably reduce our plane than to bring a car seat,” Arredondo said, explaining that she and her husband had already owned their hands with three children, three cars that check, carts and set.
