Flight Attendant Procedures Practice Test 2026 – The All-in-One Guide for Exam Success!

Safety during takeoff and landing hinges on keeping infants restrained. A flight attendant should help the parent secure the infant with an approved child restraint system or harness if one is available, and ensure the adult’s seat belt is fastened. This setup provides a reliable restraint during the aircraft’s most abrupt movements, reducing the risk of injury to the infant and to others. The attendant also assists with correct positioning of the infant so the device or hold is effective and comfortable, following the device’s instructions and the parent’s guidance. Even when a CRS isn’t used, the parent’s belt must be securely fastened and the infant held in a safe, stable manner, but using an approved restraint is the preferred method for maximizing safety. Options that involve holding the infant on the lap without a restraint, letting the parent decide without guidance, or removing the infant from a seat during takeoff all fail to provide the necessary protection during these critical moments.
