HR 3551 United States House · 118th Congress

Kids Fly Safe Act

The Kids Fly Safe Act (HR 3551) requires the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to conduct a study on child safety during air travel, collaborating with health, safety, and transportation agencies. The study will examine specific issues like age-appropriate safety seats, evacuation procedures for children, protection of strollers and child equipment in cargo, accessibility of airport facilities (such as diaper-changing stations), and airport safety measures for children. The FAA must submit a report with findings and recommendations to Congress within 180 days of the bill’s enactment. This bill does not create new regulations but aims to inform future policy through a detailed review of current child safety practices in aviation.
