How to Escape with a Child in an Emergency

Emergency information cards do not include tips on escaping with a baby or young child. The FAA has done escape tests with child dummies.

The easiest and fastest escape method is:

1. Hold your child in front of you with both arms. Protect an infant’s head with one hand.

2. If escaping with a child through a window exit, hand your child to another person outside before climbing out yourself.
3. Jump into the emergency slide. Sitting first takes too much time. You could lose your grip on your child. Others behind could push you and make you lose your balance.
