SCOTT AIR FORCE BASE, Ill. (USTCNS) --- Air Mobility Command recently lifted a three-year-old requirement requiring the use of car seats for children traveling aboard AMC aircraft.

The old rule, implemented in October 1998, applied to children younger than 2 who weigh less than 40 pounds and are less than 40 inches tall.

Cindy Rothenbach, a traffic management specialist with the passenger policy branch for AMC, said the former requirement was based on White House Commission for Aviation and Security recommendations.

"Since that time, the Federal Aviation Administration has not mandated the use of safety seats in scheduled commercial carriers," she said. "As a result, some or our passengers transferring from commercial to military flights arrived without car seats, which meant they had to buy a car seat or get a loaner from the aerial ports."

AMC officials felt the change would reduce some of the hardships placed on families traveling with small children on AMC aircraft, Rothenbach said.

Even though the requirement has been lifted, Rothenbach said the child safety seats are still a good idea.

"We still encourage the use of car seats and ask that parents use ones appropriate for their child's size and weight," she said

The use of booster seats, harnesses and vest child restraints are still prohibited because of an FAA ban on this type of equipment, Rothenbach said.

Questions on this policy should be directed to the nearest AMC passenger terminal.
