I have a Graco car seat, but I'm unsure if it's approved for airplane use. What should I look for to ensure it's compatible?

To see if your Graco car seat is approved for airplane usage, look for a red label on the back, bottom, or side that reads, "This restraint has been certified for use in motor vehicles and aircraft."

Refer to the car seat's user handbook, which should specifically state that it has been approved by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) for use on airplanes. If you do not have the printed handbook, you may usually obtain it online.

If you are unsure about the label or manual, you can discover confirmation from credible sources by searching the internet with your unique Graco car seat model number and phrases such as " FAA approval" or "airplane use".

Some airlines also mention acceptable car seats on their websites, so visiting your specific airline's website may provide more information.

If you're still hesitant, you can contact Graco customer care and provide your car seat model number, and they will validate its clearance status for airplane use.
