We have two little girls, who have also flown over 100 times; my husband is Australian so that includes some ultra long-haul flights and trips away. The Flyaway comes in a convenient travel pouch with its own small pump and easily fits into your carry on luggage. It is pricier than other sleep devices such as the Plane Pal and Fly Tot but cheaper than than Stokke JetKids Bed Box.

The seat must fit securely using a normal aircraft seatbelt, as unlike cars, we don’t have ISOFIX systems or seatbelts that are worn over the shoulder.It remained firm throughout our use and didn't start to deflate at all, which is why we have made this one our top choice. Sore legs, cramped feet and an aching back are common side effects of flying, but they don’t have to be the norm.

Choose the height you want with this inflatable airplane footrest that offers three different options.Otherwise, just make sure you don’t have it inflated before take off, and that you follow instructions to deflate it before landing, and you should be fine. It should also be easy to inflate and be made from a premium material that doesn’t cause loud noises as you adjust your feet. Please note: if an infant turns two during your journey, please contact us to book, as a seat will need to be arranged for them.

Even after using the foot rest for an hour it didn't feel uncomfortable in the slightest and we didn't notice it feeling hot at all which you do get with flocking sometimes. It also cannot be used in any seats fitted with an airbag-seatbelt, including our Upper Class suites. You need to make sure that it’s easy to inflate and deflate, the last thing you want before and after a flight is to be messing around for ages. If you want a stress free flight with the kids then the stylish Juca Travels Inflatable Leg Rest will ensure you have a peaceful trip. When traveling long haul an inflatable leg rest can help reduce the risk of swelling, DVT and also promote blood circulation.Again there are two inflation valves which operate one-way to prevent any air escaping while you blow it up, and a third escape red valve which releases air pressure if you over inflate. This airplane footrest is made using a lightweight and breathable material that will keep your feet from becoming too hot. Inflatable footrests are better than hammock ones because they can be used without a tray table, they’re easier to adjust and they’re more flexible.

When someone’s feet are cramped in the same position for an extended period, they may cause poor blood circulation, which leads to numbness. Whether an inflatable footrest makes a difference depends on how you use them and the length of the flight, but most people find that they do make a difference and are much more comfortable than not having one.

You’re welcome to bring one fully collapsible pushchair and a car seat in addition to your free checked baggage allowance. You’ll need to show our cabin crew that you’ve fitted the seat securely and in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.
