美国联邦航空局多年来禁止未满两岁婴儿在飞机起飞、着陆和地面运动中使用任何约束装置，这一规定根据《14 CFR 121.311.b.1》执行1。该规则自1995年起实施，源于FAA在1994年进行的研究，当时该机构比较了包括汽车安全座椅和腹部安全带在内的多种保护方案1。FAA最终决定不强制要求儿童安全装置，其主要理由是额外成本可能促使家庭改用更不安全的汽车出行1。
2024年，众议员比尔·波西提案HR 8972试图修改这一规定1。批评者认为FAA的1994年研究存在缺陷，未测试现代背婴带或与徒手抱婴儿的风险进行比较1。有观点认为，现代背婴带在湍流、坠机和疏散等情况中的安全性可能高于不使用任何约束装置1。然而，该提案被送往航空小组委员会后未获投票通过1。
The U.S. Federal Aviation Administration's long-standing prohibition on infant carriers during flight operations has become the target of renewed criticism over what observers characterize as inconsistent safety logic.1 The regulation, codified in 14 CFR 121.311.b.1, prevents children under two years old from using any restraint device during takeoff, landing, and ground movement.1
The restriction traces back to a 1994 FAA study that rejected mandatory child safety restraints, concluding instead that the added cost would discourage families from flying and push them toward riskier automobile travel.1 Critics argue the underlying research contains significant gaps, noting that modern baby carriers and the comparative risks of holding an unrestrained infant during turbulence or emergency evacuation were not adequately tested.1 In 2024, Representative Bill Posey introduced HR 8972 to modify this policy, but the proposal did not advance to a vote after being referred to the Aviation Subcommittee.1
