An inflatable cushion that covers the entire seat and area between the seats (like the Flyaway Kids bed). Never use your toddler travel bed for the airplane in a way that might impact other passengers. When used properly it should not interfere with the person in front of you or their ability to recline. For a tub with lots of padding and storage, we recommend the Disney Nemo Inflatable Infant Bathtub. The tub features a textured surface to help keep little ones out in place and air-cushioned support to help create a comfortable sitting position. Where possible the kids airplane bed manufacturers have listed the airlines that have either given approval for using their airplane travel bed for kids or given an indication that it could be used at the discretion of the flight crew.
Our Tips for Successfully using a Toddler Airplane Bed Don’t make the same mistake we did, put your toddlers feet on the cushion instead of their head. Provides a soft spot to sleep, but your littles ones legs will may still hang off the seat or on you. As mentioned, we own two Fly Tots and have owned our first one since 2016 when we first used it on our trip to Japan with toddlers. They are one of our favorite toddler travel gearitems. We frequently used the Fly Tot and our son would always fall asleep.This product is perfect for helping your little one get into a bigger tub. A tub with 10 balls that float around your little one and a tinkling tail that gets converted into the pit to store the balls when not in use. As for size, it’s only slightly larger (barely noticeable) than the other inflatable flight cushions for toddlers when fully deflated and rolled up. Thankfully, the smaller pump compensates for this, resulting in less overall space in your carry-on bag. Flyaway Kids Bed with pump (on left) vs Fly-Tot with Pump (on right)
It’s no big deal to have a child sleep on your lap for a short flight, but when we are talking several hours… I would say that having them have their own space where they can spread out is more than worth it. We can tell you from experience, that having a well-rested child makes traveling with kids so much more enjoyable. Maria likes that the JetKids BedBox is carry-on size and will convert your child’s seat to a bed. It works similar to the Flyaway Kids Bed, by extending the lid of the suitcase to create a bed with the seat. There’s a mattress and side panels that go over the top of the airplane seat and the extended lid of the suitcase create one uniform, comfortable area for your child to lie down. Using the JetKids BedBox on the airplane. The other feature we liked about the Flyaway Kids airplane bed is that it doesn’t take up the full area on the floor, leaving some space to store bags under the seat in front and even access them if needed.Never try to inflate it in the aisle, do it within the confines of your seat. We have found that inflating the airplane seat bed for toddlers in place works best to get the most snug fit. Bathing for toddlers is a great way to cleanse your little ones, help them get some energy and relax before going to bed, but parents and guardians know that bathing can also be a war zone, which is full of tired children and water sprinkles on the floor and parents sitting in awkward positions. There is not much you can do with spoiled toddlers or the variety of messes that can result from bathing, but adults can control one thing kids can have that is a safe and comfortable place to bath and play. An inflatable airplane bed, like the Fly Tot or Flyaway Kids Bed, is the best way to create space to play and for sleeping. With these tips, your airplane travel bed for a baby, toddler or child will increase your odds of success for getting your little one to sleep. We used a unique material called drop-stitch fabric when creating the prototype of the seat. This fabric is very strong when inflated as it can be brought to a very high internal pressure. It is a quite common technology in the boating industry and was originally developed by the military in an effort to develop inflatable airplanes”, says Maria Hansson, Project Manager at Volvo Monitoring and Concept Center in Los Angeles.
You will need a reserved seat for your baby or toddler to use an inflatable bed for the airplane. Your toddler (under 2 years old) or baby will need to be in your lap for takeoff, landing and during any turbulence.
The answer to that question will depend on how much you intend to use your toddler flight bed and the age of your children. If you buy it early on (when they are 2 years old) and plan to use it at least once a year, then yes, the cost is absolutely worth it. Especially if you will be doing long haul flights.
