Wanting to travel for 2 weeks sometime in July. My daughter will be 4 and weighs 32 pds. Will she be a hundred percent safe with the harness. Plus when I get back all I do is send it back to u. Do I get charged the extra dates until u get it back. Please email me. Thank u
Hi Jennifer,
According to the company’s website, there is no minimum age limit for using CARES. It is designed for use only by children who weight 22-44 lbs and whose height is 40 inches or less and are capable of sitting upright alone. Nothing is 100% safe.
The harness should be sent to us within 7 business days from the date of your return. I recommend you use USPS Priority Mail as it takes 2-3 days to get to me and is a lot cheaper.
We charge a late fee of $11.95 per day, per CARES starting on the 8th day (max $83.65). It is considered “default/stolen” on the 16th day and this will incur more charges.
Hi, we are traveling early sunday morning, 8/16. Is it too late to order these so they arrive saturday?
I’m not understanding what “partially booked” means, so I’ll just ask; I need one by the 6th, & its a one-way flight, so I would be returning 2-3 days after our arrival. Is that possible?
Hi Tracy, I sent you an email.
Hi I just found your site. I am in San Diego, how long would shipping take?
Hi Porsha, regular shipping takes 2-3 business days, this is not guaranteed. Express shipping takes 1-2 business days, guaranteed.

Hello, I live California n I am traveling out of the country OK in March 8 n returning 3/23 ,how much would it cost?
$18.40 is the grand total.
$11.95 for 1-15 days
$0.45 for additional day
$6.00 for shipping to you
Please use the calendar to book.
I read a response where you stated the harness is for use with children up to 40 pounds. My grandson now weighs 43, and we won’t be traveling until April. The airlines says a harness is needed for children up to 44 pounds. If yours only goes up to 40 pounds, and they require one for up to 44 pounds, are there other sizes or alternatives available for children over your 40 pound limit?
Hi Dar,
This was my response: According to the company’s website, there is no minimum age limit for using CARES. It is designed for use only by children who weight 22-44 lbs and whose height is 40 inches or less and are capable of sitting upright alone.
Cares harness currently has 2 sizes, one is the one I carry and the other is for special needs.
Hi, I placed an order earlier this evening however I don’t see a confirmation email. I’m just wondering if the payment went through. You can reach me via email. Thank you.
