Hi
Not sure if this is the right post for this, but can anyone tell me where I can get hold of two childrens airline seat belts as used on the commercial flights ?, the ones that loop onto yours
.Would be happy to swap a current Dash 8 training manual for a pair .
Please PM me
Cheers

You ask a flight attendant, and they will bring you one.
Actually, they will notice you're carrying a baby, and bring you one anyway.

I do realise if you board an aircraft with a child they will supply you with one I have used them many times
I wanted to aquire them to KEEP for other purposes
Thanks

Any aircraft upholstery shop will make them for you - they will not be cheap though.

Yes, I did try there and the cost was really pricey as anything the related to the business usually is .
I was hoping someone may have a couple in the back of a hanger they were not using and would part with .
We were planning to tour abroad and in some of the places , vehicles don't have childrens car seats and are not required by law to do so
and this would solve the problem.
Thanks for your suggestion

When I looked into this about a year ago (there's a thread on here somewhere) I remember reading that some ATSB published studies show that they are not particularly safe in the case of an accident. They will revent junior from becoming a missile, but junior will most likely suffer serious injury.
I cannot recall whether this is due to the fac tthat airline seats are lap belt only, so that if you were travelling in a car with shoulder harness you might be better off, but I am not sure how you'd attach the loop to a such an arrangement.
And BTW I did not end up having to buy one as our aircraft was delivered with 16!
Good luck!
