My son is just turned 3yrs and is about 42lbs and 42" (definitely over 40"). We will be flying cross country and have a car seat ready for him on the ground. Is he really okay to sit in the plane without a car seat or even the CARES? He is only 2" over the CARES limit imposed by the FAA and I would feel more comfortable if he had something more than just the normal airplane seat belt but don't want to bring our Frontier.
I am tempted to buy the CARES and use it as I don't think a flight attendant would go to the trouble of actually measuring him but I want to make sure that's safe.
