Would this work well for an infant on an airplane? I'm going on a trip soon and would like to keep the air around my baby as clean as possible...

These units work well if they are constantly waved back and forth past the nose, however if you are looking to keep the air clean they will not purify the air. I personally do not have a proper working immune system and the research I have done shows that booking a ticket in first class and requesting the back row aisle seat is the best place on the plane. The reason is do to the better air flow in first class. I have found the use of the ionizer Clorox wipes to clean the area I am sitting and this sit is the best possible solution. Coach class is not a good choice AT ALL. The price is worth it in the long run.

I would not use. I have been getting mixed messages as to wearing this device in flight. In one of the magazines it stated it had not been approved. They suggested wearing a mask if there was a concern with air quality.I still use at other places.

i don't think i would have this close to an infant. there are varying opinions on the safety for lungs with these items. Perhaps if you wore one or hung it on the seat but i would not place it on an infant. I liked the item but had to send it back as the plastic piece it hung from just broke while i was sitting still in a class and it fell off my neck. I purchased a different one which i like too but the back fell off and i had to get a new one. I put tape on the back now.. I love these airlifts and I think they are effective.

I don't see why not. Just watch-out for that cord if you hang it around the baby's neck! (I wouldn't!) I'd remove the cord and clip it to a baby. I have a LOT of chemical (e.g., perfumes, Lysol, cigarette smoke) sensitivities. I wear mine almost daily! Haven't had a cold since I started wearing mine in public, either.

You might also check to be certain ionized air is safe for a baby. For adult use and settings other than an airplane, I will say that I love this device. I believe it helps with my allergies.
823629
Please check with your airline. Some do not allow devices such as this. I found out from a flight attendant who was adamant I turn mine off.

I would think so - I feel a difference when I wear it. Maybe it could be positioned nearby so the infant wouldn't have to have it hanging around the neck?

This doesn't so much clean the air as it reduces bothersome odors. To get the best results, you would have to position it close to the face, and your baby may not like it. I would probably give it a try and see how he/she tolerates it

No the seat is too bulky and does not fit on an airplane seat. But it is perfect for the car. Your baby will love you for the mini-couch feeling :).

I use mine with a toddler seat, but I'm not sure how it may work with an infant seat. A toddler carseat has openings in the back allowing you to feed the straps through and secure. If an infant seat doesn't have that, you wouldn't be able to secure it to the travelmate. The website may have more info, but I absolutely love it with our toddler seat and it makes a huge difference when getting through the airport. Practice attaching and detaching before hitting the airport, so you can do it quickly.

We used it for air travel, fairly easy to install and fit the small seats in those small rural airport planes. Easy to carry around too as long as you are carrying only a backpack diaper bag and the carseat with baby. I wouldn't recommend trying to juggle more than that (unless you have a husband or helper to assist you.)

I'm not sure what you're asking. But if you're wondering if the strap (the car-seat pictured is not included) can be used on a plane, I would say no. Your child must be in your lap or in a seat of their own (possibly in a car-seat, depending on the airline) and your luggage must be tucked under your seat or in an overhead bin, so there would not be a way to keep them attached while flying.

It isn't breathable material, but it is also pretty stable. I don't think an older baby would get smooshed into the edges. However, I also don't think it would fit well for a mobile baby. Our son grew out of it in about 3 months. It was simply too narrow for him to sleep comfortably.

I've never used it on an airplane but from using it in my car I would say yes. It doesn't stick out very far. Hope this helps somewhat!

Hello there! Our "little" man is 3.5 months, 25" and 18 pounds. We use the RNP and aren't sure how much longer we will be able to use it. It only goes up to 25 pounds, but your child could outgrow it for length. We still have some head room, but we are thinking he will have transition by the end of August as we use this for his primary sleeping space due to acid reflux. So, you might be cutting it close if you decided to get it. Also, it travels VERY easily! We have taken it on many trips. It breaks down into a few pieces and could fit into a large suitcase. Have you looked at using a peapod?? KidCo PeaPod Portable Travel Bed with Air Pump - Red In any case, have a great time on your trip!

That is how I use it and it was the main reason I bought it. It provides a nice smooth, firm surface for the baby to lay on. When they are young and not mobile, it is perfectly fine to use and should not present a safety issue.

Yes it would. Although this bag didn't work for me as a diaper bag, I think it would be an excellent bag for a long flight.

I think this would be excellent for air travel. My granddaughter is only 18 months and loves it. She can draw. I can draw things for her. I can print letters and numbers so she becomes familiar with them. Excellent toy.

We have used it for 2 babies... one until 3 months, the other until around 2 months. Our first baby didn't move much, our second is quite the wiggler and she seemed to out grow it a bit faster. We loved this and have given it great reviews. You can pack a ton inside of the luggage side. Great for travel or just using at home! Congrats on the new baby!

I would not use it w an infant below 3-4 months depending on the baby. Bought it when my son was 8 months old and it's a great quick or travel stroller.

I live in Hawaii and I love my organic carrier. I choose it over airflow because it is softer and more comfortable. It is not hotter than to have your baby in the stroller. I have noticed that it can be more sweating in area where my baby touches me then in baby-carrier area. You can loosen the carrier and put your hands in between carrier and your baby's back to let air flow from time to time. It works perfectly for us. Love it!

I believe the manual states that it is rated for airplane travel. I do not have it with me now, and we have never tried. I would imagine as a forward facing carseat it would fit, but rear facing would be a very tight squeeze and probably wouldn't fit in the recommended reclining position for smaller infants.

I know this is late to the discussion, but it will help someone in the future. We traveled with that car seat and had no problems. It was difficult to get through security because they had to hand search it, and carrying a car seat onto the plane was bothersome, but the added safety is well worth it. Had no problems getting the car seat to fit once on the plane. Strapped my son in and he slept the either flight.

I have - it worked great! Traveling through the airport was SO much easier than the last time I traveled, without the Go-Go Babyz Travelmate Deluxe. Be prepared for a handcheck at security, as the car seat and carrier won't fit through the x-ray machines (the car seat doesn't fit through on its own either, even without the carrier). You'll have to detach the car seat from the carrier when you're boarding the plane, because they won't fit down the aisle. I used the car seat on the airplane, and tucked the carrier under the seat while flying. When traveling through the airport, it works just like a stroller. I buckled in my 3-year-old and off we went! He enjoyed riding in it as much as I enjoyed the stress-free travel. I highly recommend it.
