Team Safety
Although it is nearly always preferable to include the parent on the transport, team safety must also be considered. The above discussion reviews the potential pitfalls of the combative family, but there are other considerations as well.
Although parents will certainly want to be as close as possible to their child, all vehicle occupants must wear appropriate restraints. Children should never be transported in a parent's lap or arms.Parental size may introduce spatial concerns. Parental weight is an important consideration with rotor-wing flights. Maximum flight weights must be strictly respected. The parents must obviously be able to tolerate the mode of travel. Motion sickness or fear of flight would, of course, preclude those modes of transport. Family members should be provided with an explanation if it is unsafe or problematic for them to ride along in the transport.
