What kind of "awards" is this seat winning??

You can believe what you want. Just having a child rear-face is 11 times safer, as is a 5 point harness, in an "award-winning" seat or not. Believe what you want. It's your child's safety that you should be concerned about, not awards.

If it has a 5 point harness and can be secured with a two-point seat belt, it is probably air travel approved. If not, don't bring it on the plane!
