Kids Fly Safe Clicks with Judges of Creative Child Awards

Burlington, VT – Over 50 moms, child psychologists and educators gathered on behalf of the Creative Child Awards to judge the best product in this year’s Kid’s Travel Safety category. Among all the worthy nominees, one product clicked with everyone – the innovative Child Aviation Restraint System (CARES) and winner of this year’s 2008 Creative Child Magazine Top Choice Award.

The judges admired the simplicity of CARES by Kids Fly Safe as the first-of-its kind harness for toddlers which loops around the back of the airplane seat and augments the regular seat belt.

The pocket-or-purse-sized Child Aviation Restraint System will be showcased in the December issue of Creative Child Magazine along with its annual Toy Guide.

Creative Child Magazine hosts a 2-day annual event in Henderson, Nevada where guest reviewers are invited to participate. All products are divided into categories and displayed at various review stations. Guest reviewers are asked to sit and review each products at one station and then move to another station. This allows for each product to be given multiple reviews based on criteria that corresponds to the product’s category. Upon completion of the event all review forms are collected, scores are tabulated and awards given (or not) based on dozens of comments.

The Top Choice Award CARES is an innovative child harness that weighs less than a pound and provides extra support to children who weigh between 22-44 pounds on an airplane. It replaces, happily, the need for parents to lug a bulky car seat around the airport and onto an airplane. Plus it assures parents that their child will have the proper harness protection they need, as car seats often don’t fit properly on a plane seat since they were designed for the back seat of an automobile.

Since its debut, the $74.95 harness has wowed judges nationally and internationally and won the NAPPA Gold Award, Crystal Cabin Award, Good Housekeeping Magazine Good Buy Award [one of only 8 in the U.S.], iParenting Media Award, National Parenting Center Seal of Approval and Mr. Dad Seal of Approval.

CARES was invented and patented by Louise Stoll, a petite grandmother, after watching her 7-months pregnant daughter emerge from a plane juggling a toddler, a car seat and a diaper bag. At that moment Stoll thought to herself, there has to be a better way! With her background as Assistant Secretary in the U.S. Department of Transportation from 1993-1997, it occurred to Stoll to try to create something better.

Indeed, she did and airport-traveling-parents everywhere are grateful. The award-winning seatbelt can be ordered online at kidsflysafe.com.
