Who may not sit in a seat with an air belt?

• A. Children less than 2 years
• B. Pregnant women
• C. Adults over 18
• D. Crew members

Answer: (A)

Infants under 2 years cannot sit in a seat equipped with an inflatable air belt because safety rules require a proper child restraint system (CRS) for that age. The air belt is designed for an adult-sized torso and seating position, and a small child cannot be restrained effectively or safely by it. When an infant is on an aircraft seat, they must be placed in an approved CRS and secured, or, if not using a seat, not occupy a regular seat with an air belt. Adults, including pregnant women and crew members, can use seats with air belts as long as there are no other medical or safety restrictions.
