Child seat for aircraft (100–150 cm) | my junior ELYO

The security loophole when flying with children.

For children between 100 and 150 cm tall, the aircraft seat belt is not designed to fit their body proportions. The my junior ELYO was developed specifically for this size range – the world’s first child seat with international aircraft approval.

The aircraft seat belt protects adults – but not every child.

Many parents assume that their child is sufficiently protected on the plane as soon as the seat belt is fastened.

In reality, however, the lap belt is designed for adult body proportions. This creates a safety gap for children between 100 and 150 cm tall: the lower body is restrained, while the upper body can move forwards uncontrollably during severe turbulence or sudden braking manoeuvres.

A gap forms between the infant car seat and the adult seat belt.

Babies and toddlers often travel in infant carriers or special restraint systems.

The adult seat belt only fits properly once a child is around 150 cm tall.

Until now, there has been no internationally approved solution for air travel for children in between.

Safety doesn’t end after take-off.

Turbulence

It is part of everyday flying and can occur at any time.

Aborted take-offs

Even on the ground, high forces can act within a very short time.

Emergency landings

Rare situations that safety concepts must be prepared for.

Aircraft accidents

The survival rate is very high today. This makes protection during more frequent events such as turbulence all the more important.

ELYO is closing this security vulnerability.

The my junior ELYO was specially developed for children between 100 and 150 cm tall.

According to my junior, it is the world’s first and only child seat in this size category to have international aircraft approval (excluding the USA), ensuring that restraint forces are absorbed in a more child-friendly way.*

Frequently Asked Questions about ELYO

The my junior ELYO is an i-Size Group 2/3 child car seat suitable for children between 100 and 150 cm tall. This corresponds to an approximate age of 3 to 12 years. The ELYO is designed for a child weight of 15 to 36 kg, accompanying your child for many years. The 10-position adjustable headrest and growing side wings ensure that the child car seat adapts flexibly to your child’s height.

Yes, the ELYO can be secured using ISOFIX, but can also be used without ISOFIX. With ISOFIX attachment, the child seat is firmly connected to the vehicle, while your child is additionally secured with the vehicle’s own 3-point belt. Without ISOFIX, it is also used with the vehicle’s 3-point belt. This makes the ELYO particularly flexible – ideal for your own car, taxis, hire cars or quickly switching between vehicles.

Yes, the my junior ELYO has TÜV aircraft approval and is the only child seat in its class worldwide with international aircraft approval, except in the USA. This makes the ELYO particularly suitable for families looking for a safe and comfortable child seat for both car and air travel. Thanks to its compact folding format, low weight of 6.1 kg and practical carrying handle, it is easy to take with you when travelling.

Children also benefit from a suitable child seat on board an aircraft, providing them with greater support, a better seating position and additional comfort. Particularly in turbulence, passengers who are not adequately secured can be unexpectedly lifted out of their seats, according to the FAA. An approved travel child seat such as the ELYO can help position your child more securely in the seat and reduce the risk of uncontrolled impact against hard areas such as the metal rail beneath the aircraft seat. The ELYO is designed for children measuring 100 to 150 cm, approximately 3 to 12 years old and weighing 15 to 36 kg – and is the only child seat of its kind in the world with TÜV aircraft approval, except in the USA.

The Prevent Pro side impact protection is a linear side impact protection system that provides your child with additional protection in the event of a side impact. The ELYO therefore offers up to 20% more protection against side impact forces. Particularly practical: the side impact protection can be used on both sides or removed when space in the car is limited. This keeps the child seat safe and flexible – even when several child seats are used next to each other.

Yes, the ELYO was designed for high seating comfort on short and long journeys. Memory foam, an ergonomic seat and the Air Ventilation System provide a pleasantly comfortable seating experience. Air vents in the outer shell and mesh inserts in the seat cover support good air circulation – ideal for long car journeys, warm days or summer holidays. This way, your child sits comfortably and arrives feeling more relaxed.

The ELYO offers many comfort features for everyday use and travel: a 10-position adjustable headrest, growing side wings, memory foam, comfort foam, an Air Ventilation System, mesh inserts, a removable sun canopy and a cup holder. The child seat adapts flexibly to your child and ensures a pleasant seating environment. This makes the ELYO a comfortable companion, especially on longer journeys, holidays or when frequently changing vehicles.

The ELYO combines i-Size safety, high comfort and an especially flexible travel format. It is foldable, compact to store, weighs just 6.1 kg and has TÜV aircraft approval. This makes it the only child seat in its class worldwide with international aircraft approval, except in the USA. It also offers Prevent Pro side-impact protection, Air Ventilation, Memory Foam, a sun canopy and a cup holder – a powerful combination for everyday life, the car and travel.

The ELYO is ideal for families looking for a safe, comfortable and flexible child seat. In everyday use, it is an i-Size Group 2/3 car seat; when travelling, it serves as a compact, foldable travel seat. Once folded, it can be stored to save space and easily carried thanks to its handle – whether in a car, taxi, hire car, train or aeroplane. This means the ELYO provides safety and comfort wherever you go.

Yes. With my junior, you have 100 days to test the ELYO at home – in your own four walls, before using it outdoors for the first time. This allows you to take your time to check whether the ELYO is right for you, your child and your everyday life. Important: The ELYO must be returned in brand-new condition so that it can be resold. This not only protects the next buyer, but also the environment. A used child seat that cannot be resold creates unnecessary waste. We therefore ask that you only try out the ELYO at home during the test period.

The my junior ELYO comes with a 24-month warranty. Optionally, the warranty can be extended for up to 10 years. This gives you long-term protection, allowing you to use the ELYO reliably for many years in everyday life, when travelling and when switching between different vehicles.
