WASHINGTON (AP) -- The Federal Aviation Administration said on Wednesday it has approved the first harness-type child safety device for sale to consumers for use on commercial airline flights.
The CARES device, produced by Phoenix-based AmSafe Aviation, involves a belt and shoulder harness that goes around the adult seat back and attaches to the adult passenger lap belt to provide upper torso restraint for young children who lack the upper body strength to brace themselves during turbulence or other incidents, said the product's founder, Louise Stoll.

Pretty good idea, but what if I want to use my tray table to eat when sitting behind them.. Oh wait nevermind, airlines don't serve food anymore.

Funny! Good point.

I can see the business person wanting to use their traytable for their laptop arguing with the parent wanting to strap in their kid.
