Infants
(children who have not reached their
third birthday) may travel on an adult’s
lap, at no charge, on Rex services.
Bookings for infants should be made through the Rex customer contact centre on
13 17 13 or through local travel agents to ensure all necessary information is
gathered.
For
toddlers that have reached their third
birthday you can bring on board your
infant car seat for your baby’s comfort.
To travel with an infant car seat you must ensure:
-
The car seat is in good condition with no cracked or damaged edges
-
The seatbelts and harnesses must be fully functioning
-
The car seat must meet the Australian/New Zealand Design Standards AS1754
-
If you are traveling with an overseas car seat here are the design standards
that are accepted:
United Kingdom CAA or European Community Regulation 44 of FMVSS213 approved
All labels should be clearly visible and
are located on the base of the seat on
the bottom of the back.
If your car seat does not meet these standards
then unfortunately it will not be able to travel.
If you choose to use your car seat, you
must purchase an additional seat to use it.
Regional Express is not permitted to use Baby
Capsules or Baby Booster Seats in the
cabin. However, we do have infant seat belts if you don’t
want to use a car seat.
NOTE: Parents travelling with infants and small
children on aircraft must pay extra attention
to passenger safety briefings to be ready
to cope with an emergency. A range of
trial evacuations of a typical passenger
jet, undertaken by the US Federal Aviation
Administration, were carried out with adults
carrying dummies to simulate children
ranging from
two months to 24 months. The study found
parents should hold on to children if they
could still easily and quickly climb
through an emergency exit, while larger
children should be passed through the
exit to another adult. The key to making
a good and quick decision about how to
exit during an emergency is thinking about what
approach should be taken during the normal
passenger safety briefings. Parents are
urged to listen carefully to the briefings,
remember
where emergency exits are located and think
about the size of their infant or small
child.
