Traveling with a baby or toddler can be a wonderful experience. If you are well prepared and have the correct travel gear , your holiday should be smooth sailing — or flying. One big decision for parents is what to take on the flight to keep toddlers strapped in safely.

The only way you will find out that you had not received a genuine CARES harness is when you get the fake one in hand.
