Hi
I'm about to fly on Virgin America (I know, VX--wasn't thinking with the title) from IAD to SFO and really don't feel like lugging my car seat for my 3 year old. I've been looking at the CARES restraint system and considering it, but was wondering if anyone has seen it in use on a Virgin flight.
My question is a tad silly, but the system works by wrapping a strap around the seat, opening the dinner tray behind the seat and placing the strap underneath. The thing is that the seats on the Virgin flights have trays that seem a bit 'molded' into the design, and I'm wondering if the strap is going to prevent the person behind me from latching their tray shut or not?
Here is a pic from Amazon.
