CARES Harness

Woah that thing is expensive.

We aren't planning on taking a car seat on the airplane for Gavin.  The logistics of dragging that along with 2 kids is just too much.  The reason I'm thinking about a harness, is the primary mode of transportation on the island we're staying on is golf cart.  Lots of people mention that they use a Baby B'air to restrain toddlers on the golf carts.  Something like that would maybe be nice to have considering DH will be driving and I'll be holding a baby, so neither one of us will be completely able to keep Gavin under control.  However, the Baby B'air isn't FAA approved.  The CARES is.

Anyone use a CARES harness?  Could it be used on a golf cart?  Is it worth the $70-ish?

  • I'd skip it and have him just sit between you.
  • We bought a CARES for M to use when we traveled for Christmas.  It was great to use on the plane and worth the $$ to not lug the car seat!  It is secured by slipping over the seat back so if the golf cart has a bench seat, it wouldn't work because there is nothing to attach it to.

  • You have an Ergo/Beco/Carrier for the babe, right?  If that's the case, then you will probably have no problem holding on to DS on the golf cart and I'd skip buying any of the airplane harnesses.

  • I should add that DD isn't really that "in" to being worn yet.  We've got a few weeks to get her used to it, but I'm not sure how that's going to go

  • It depends on the golf cart. The common ones I've seen can't be used with a CARES because the seats are bench seats and you need to have a chair to wrap the harness around.
