CARES / Special CARES is only FAA approved for children 22-44 lbs and up to 40 inches tall.
Any child less than 44 lbs and 40 inches tall, can use it on any U.S. air carrier.
* The FAA permit is actually a letter, (called an exemption letter), which ‘exempts’ a flyer from the FAA rules regarding size restrictions and allows a larger special needs individual to use CARES. This letter may be needed for CARES (if the flyer is larger than 44 lbs and 40 inches), and is always needed when using Special CARES.
