  "question": "Can a booster car seat be used on an airplane?",
  "answer": "Chicco GoFit: The booster is not certified for use on aircraft because aircraft do not have lap-shoulder belts. Diono Solana 2 Latch: It cannot be used as a booster on airplanes because it requires a lap-and-shoulder belt. PEG Perego Viaggio Flex 120: The booster meets or exceeds Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 213 for motor vehicles and is not certified for aircraft use. Clek Olli: The 5-pound seat was light enough for a second-grader to carry and fit in an aircraft overhead compartment, but it flopped around on its strap in a narrow plane aisle and its armrests were awkward there.",
