Wondering if this is a solution when flying? Our baby twists and turns so needs a harder surface than our laps to sleep well on flights.

It is a bit large for flying (about 2 & 1/2 - 3 feet long) and the bottom isn't rigid, so I'm not sure this would be the solution.

I can't imagine is being good on a flight. It wouldn't work across your legs. The only way it would work is if you had one of those Jet Blue flights and got that front row of coach where you have extra floor space in front of you where you could put it on the floor. It's great on the floor.

Hi , I think this would be too big to put on your lap, but would work perfect if put on floor.. but actually not that much room on flights, so I don't think it would work very well

I can't believe this would even be considered flying. Just because the FAA allows infants on your laps, does NOT mean it is safe - it just means there haven't been enough incidents to force them to change the rule. We're flying with our 6 month old in a few weeks and I bought him a ticket so we could keep him in his car seat. With all the things parents do to try to keep their kids safe, why not do the same when flying? You could have severe turbulence, go off a runway..etc. Lots of survivable accidents can happen in a plane where a baby could easily be unnecessarily injured if not strapped in. Even if you opt to not use a car seat, something like this would just be worse than holding them. I can't believe this would even be considered flying.

Not an option for an airplane. We used a baby katan (sp?,) for our flight from Oregon to Wisconsin. We did, however, find this item very easy to travel with and worked great in our hotel room.

This was actually a gift but I was told it works perfectly on flights if you have the hard floor space. Hope this helps you. I know my niece loves it to take everywhere.

No, the bottom is completely unsupported and is designed to be placed on the floor.

I think you would be hardpressed to find enough space on a plane. The bottom is soft (so it can fold) and needs a hard surface for support. Definitely wouldn't fit in the foot room. You would need more than one empty seat to fit it on the seats, and even then it might be too wide. Good luck.

Hard to say. My second son was very much like that but when i switched him from infant to the next seat it mostly stopped. It completely stopped when i turned his seat around. But he also got car sick really easily when facing backwards.

Hi - we had trouble getting it to stay flying. I regret buying this!! More trouble than it was worth. Best of luck

Although I cannot answer based on personal experience, I would think the extra layer would be helpful as the baby gets larger in size, since there is not a significant amount and of padding on the board.

My LO wasn't sleeping on his stomach at the time, so he was fine with it. He outgrew it just as he started to roll on his side to sleep. I will say this, it seems like a baby would have a very hard time rolling completely over in the suit. Remember the movie "A Christmas Story" where the kid says "I can't put my arms down!" It's more like that.

I think so - that was actually the problem I was having. It stopped me from moving so much that I woke up when I would have otherwise subconsciously turned over. But that no doubt depends on what kind of sleeper you are. I think it'll certainly stop you from rolling over :-)

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 use this for sleep only since the sides are not as taut as a play pen. I also have a play pen for everyday. I love the crib and it has a great thick mattress which my little one loves. It also is very easy to pack in the car. I haven't tried the plane yet, but I would be doable.

I've used my Snuza with two babies now. The day they learned to roll over, they started sleeping on their stomachs. I started clipping the Snuza on the back of their pants so they wouldn't muffle the alarm by laying on it. It still detects their breathing even touching their back.

The airflow in the back for an infant laying down is not good. I live in Texas and our son would get super hot when I put him in it. I did buy a portable fan that helped a little. Great concept, but would have been better if they used mesh on the back part to help with airflow.

We got this to get our 8lb girl through the airport. We did use an insert to steady her head as it doesn't recline fully. But it's fathomable that an infant could fall asleep in it.

Baby can face out in this carrier once he can support his own head. They recommend you have them face in until then. Not sure about air travel; I know that anytime I want my son to be still and quiet, he's going to be squirmy and fussy. Presumably even more so on an airplane surrounded by irritable passengers, ha ha. Good luck!

Hi Erin, it does not pose a problem and does not increase the likelihood of rolling since it does not curve much, just a little bit. However, my baby is using a different mattress now since the naturepedic was not very cozy, maybe due to the slight curve, it just never felt like it was very cozy for her to sleep on it. So in our case: a lot of money wasted. I am a nervous mom always making sure i have the best prducts for my baby but in retrispect i would not have bought this.

Yes thats what we did, but my husband had to adjust it because it has a wheel in the bottom that did not allow to go down the bed, he cut it and left it as a semi circle. If your bed is a box spring you will not have this issue.Another person said that between the rail bed and the mattress is a space that can be dangerous for the baby, I fixed that rolling 2 blankets as long pillows and problem solvedThe other issue is that my baby likes to move a lot so I make every single night a pillow barreer so it works as a third bed rail. I will try to send you a picture so you can see it. Its a nice product!

The Big Agnes air mattress I had was comfortable but terrible slick. I spent half the night sliding around. Much better to get a Thermarest sleeping pad. It's bulkier when rolled up but much more comfortable, especially on a concrete floor. Go with a Thermarest pad!!

I'm thinking its not reccomended because the support straps to keep your baby upright cannot lock in around the legs and pelvis if they are swaddled. However me and my wife still swaddled and just didn't use the supports but if you do this it is at your own risk.

I did . But what I did noticed is that every time my baby would fall asleep in the car seat his head would totally go forward . I would literally extend my arm while driving and hold his head upright until we got to our destination . I later on figured out that it was this thing that would caused my baby to sleep with his head forward. I wanted to return it but the expiration expired . Good luck
