Abstract
Despite children being vulnerable aircraft passengers, children’s safety on aircraft does not attract enough public attention as it does in the automotive industry. Current regulations about Child Restraint Systems (CRSs) used on aircraft differ in various countries. This study introduces the potential injuries, injury mechanisms, and injury criteria for children on an aircraft. The protective effects of different CRSs are summarised. Among the four types of CRSs, automotive child seats are the most practical CRSs used on an aeroplane today. The airworthiness regulations and operation regulations of CRSs are also presented. The lack of injury criteria for the neck and abdomen in current regulations should be addressed. Finally, the social effects of mandatory regulations of using CRSs on an aircraft are discussed, and advice on the future improvement of children’s safety in aircraft is provided.
