Th e FAA apologizes for not bein g able to meet your needs and , in the interest of time , I am sending this email to get to you information related to your petition. We received your Petition for Exemption on September 10, 2015. You requested to use the CARES Child Restraint System (CRS) for a child who exceeds the weight and/or height l imit and noted that you wo ul d like to travel October 3, 2015. Processing a petition for a chi l d restraint (tech nica l ana lysis, a decision regarding a grant or denia l of the petition, and transmitting the grant or denial to you ) typically takes 45 -60 days. When the FAA grants this type of exemption , it is effective for five years . Since we noticed that you wish to take your first flight before we may finish processing your Petition for Exemption, we wanted to give you some information and options so you can make informed choices regarding your travel. Also, we encourage you to contact your airline of choice, well in advance of your travel , so that you can become familiar with their related operational guidelines. If a child exceeds the weight and/or height limit for CARES, FAA regulations prohibit the use of CARES during taxi, takeoff and landing on U.S. aircraft

. However, even if a child exceeds 44 pounds or 40 inches, he or she can use CARES during cruise f l ight. U.S

. Air Carriers are required to all ow use of an approved CRS, i f a t i cket has been purchased for the chi l d, please contact you r airline of choice for their related guide l ines . The FAA does not recommend any particular CRS, but we have provided some websites where you can find CRSs (approved for use in automobiles and aircraft) that can be used with children up to 150 pounds and five feet tall. Insofar as any changes that might take place in the webs ites we 've provided, please keep in mind that the FAA is neither associated with nor responsible for maintaining them. We will move as expeditiously as po ss ible ; however, we cannot be certain if your petition will be completed before your desired travel date. Again, we apologize and thanks for your patience and understanding. FAA Approved CRSs that can accommodate a larger child -- (1) Columbia Medical -- http:/ /www
