I know by law, In the UK, we are adults by 18. But In terms of biology, what age are we fully grown at?


Answer
here is the human life cycle so that you can understand better

Birth is the first stage. Before birth, a person begins as a single cell, the tiniest building block of life. As the human cells duplicate and specialize into specific body parts, they prepare for the birth of an infant,weighing five to ten pounds, which takes about 40 weeks from the time that that first cell starts growing.

Infancy is the second stage. From birth through the first year of life, a person is called an infant.The infant is totally dependent upon his or her parents for food, changing, bathing and movement from place to place. This is a stage in which a person begins to learn lots of things about survival in the world.

Childhood is the third stage, which lasts for about ten years. For the first two years after infancy, the child is called a toddler. Toddlers learn how to walk, talk and become more independent. For the balance of childhood, people grow, gaining more freedom and responsibility as they learn about themselves.

Adolescence is the fourth stage, roughly from age 12 to 18 years. In this stage, starting with puberty, boys change and become men, and girls become women.This can be a very confusing time for a young person, trying to cope with so many changes.This is the time that the human is preparing for adulthood, growing to his/her maximum size, and is physically able to reproduce.

Adulthood is the fifth stage, from the end of adolescence, usually age 18 to 20, to old age.Adulthood is the time that people take on many different kinds of responsibilities. All of the things that our parents once provided, we must now provide for ourselves. The life cycle usually starts over again during this stage, when, through reproduction, adults give birth to their own children. Once a personâs children are grown up and are having children of their own, an adult can enter a more relaxing time of life, with freedom to pursue hobbies and travel.Though the body begins to break down during this stage, an adult can live to an average age of 76 in the U. S., and even longer in some other places in the world.

I am getting ready to travel with a 2 year old, looking for a carseat that is FAA approved?

Need a carseat that is not bulky and hard to carry being that I'll have my hands full with carry on/ diaper bag and umbrella stroller and of course the kid please help!!!!


Answer
n order to be certified for use on an airplane, the car seat has to met the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards. Check the labels on the side of your car restraint for a sticker (words will be printed in red) for verification that your seat is safe for airplane use. Almost all car seats pass this requirement. Here is a picture of what the sticker looks like:

Booster seats are NOT approved for use on airplanes.

There is also a new device that is approved by the FAA for airline use ONLY. It is called CARES (Child Aviation Restraint System) and costs $75. It weighs 1 pound, is certified for all phases of flight (taxiing, take off, turbulence and landing), adjusts to fit ALL size airplane seats, and is approved for kids 22â44 lbs. If you don't want to be bothered by taking a car seat, and especially if you do a lot of traveling, then this is another very handy device. http://www.kidsflysafe.com/

If you do a lot of traveling, or if you are looking for a way to minimize what you have to carry (whether just for travels or for everyday things), looking for something that is lightweight, versatile, and will last through toddler years, you might consider looking into the Sit'n'Stroll. It is a really neat device that can be used in many versatile functions. It is a car seat (both rear and forward facing), an approved airline CRS, and can be used as a booster seat. http://www.tripleplayproducts.com/

There are many products out there designed to help the traveling family. Here's a product that can attach to most car seats so that you can use it as a stroller and get it through the airport more easily. http://www.gogobabyz.com/products/gogo_kids.html



I've been flying internationally and domestically with my children since they were each 2 months (now 8&6, and 6 months). At least three trips a year are the children and I traveling internationally (14+ hours each way) alone. In addition to that, we do another 8-10 international and domestic flights a year as a family. I have never had any problems with my children on any of the flights.

I wrote a small article about flying with children that goes more in-depth, gives security rules and regulations for the US, EU, UK, and Australia, offers tips and tricks for the travel, etc. http://www.angelfire.com/jamiehassen79/flying_children.html

If I can be of any more help or assistance, please feel free to contact me.
