Where can a CRS NOT be located during a flight?

The correct response highlights that a CRS, or Child Restraint System, is prohibited from being located in certain areas for safety reasons. Specifically, a CRS cannot be situated one row forward or aft of an emergency exit row because these locations are deemed critical for emergency egress. If an emergency were to occur, passengers in CRS, who may require additional assistance during an evacuation, could obstruct the exit path or slow down the evacuation process.

It is essential for passengers to have clear access to emergency exits, and the regulations ensure that infants and small children are placed safely in locations where they do not impede the evacuation route. In contrast, a CRS can be placed in the emergency exit row itself, provided it is secured properly, in the cargo hold they are not allowed at all due to safety constraints, and they can be next to an aisle seat where evacuation operations would typically allow for easier access. Understanding these regulations helps ensure passenger safety during flights, especially for those traveling with young children.
