Product Description

Size: Infant

It's easy to fly with your little ones in this FAA-tested infant safety garment. Just secure the Baby B'Air on your 2 year and younger infant and you will have peace of mind knowing that your child will be held securely on your lap while in flight. Even if you have brought along a car seat, the Baby B'Air will keep your infant safely secured to your lap belt while your child is in your arms.

The Baby B'Air flight vest is made in the USA of a 100% cotton shell which is durable and washable. It has been tested for strength by an FAA approved testing lab. This flight vest is reinforced with a patented design matrix of nylon seatbelt webbing. The patent pending double reinforced loop attaches your child in flight to your seat belt with a safety zone feature which allows for comfortable movement for feeding, changing and nurturing while worn.

The Baby B'Air is worn by your infant like a vest. It is placed over the child's head and secured by adjustable straps on both sides under the baby's arms. The third strap comes from behind, between the baby's legs and buckles to the front with another adjustable strap. The excess straps Velcro neatly to the vest so that there are no loose straps. After take-off the parent feeds their seat belt through the loop on the back of the Baby B'Air, refastens the seat belt and tightens the seat belt. Your infant can now be held, fed and even changed while both parent and child remain securely fastened in their seat. Please note: this is only for use during flight.

Size: Infant fits heads up to 16.5" around - infant to 8 months. Toddler fits heads 16-19.5" - 8 months to 2 years.

1.0 out of 5 stars DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY, December 31, 2009

By

This review is from: Baby B'Air Flight Vest (Health and Beauty)

The FAA has banned the use on aircraft of certain types of child restraints that may be harmful to a child in the event of an aviation emergency. These include backless booster seats, safety belt extensions (commonly referred to as "belly belts"), and vest or harness devices that attach to an adult. Although some that were manufactured before the FAA's ban may carry an insignia and/or language indicating they are approved for aircraft use, please understand that they are no longer permitted.

Approved Child Restraint Devices

Many of these carry the FMVSS.213 insignia and/or language indicating that they are "approved for use in motor vehicles and on aircraft."

Any CRD manufactured between January 1, 1961 and February 25, 1985, must have the following label: "This child restraint device conforms to all applicable federal motor vehicle safety standards."

Any CRD manufactured since February 26, 1985, must have both of the following labels: "This child restraint device conforms to all applicable federal motor vehicle safety standards" and "This restraint is certified for use in motor vehicles and aircraft."

Harness-type devices approved by the FAA:

At this time, the FAA has approved only the AmSafe Aviation CARES, which is appropriate for children weighing between 22 and 44 pounds.

The AmSafe Aviation CARES must have a label indicating "FAA Approved in Accordance with 14CFR 21.305(d), Approved for Aircraft Use Only."

5.0 out of 5 stars GREAT IDEA - USED MANY TIMES, August 18, 2006

Celebrity Baby "Nobody Puts Baby in the Corner" - See all my reviews

This review is from: Baby B'Air Toddler Flight Vest - Red (Baby Product)

I can't believe someone rated this lower than 5 stars. I have been traveling with my daughter since she was born and she is now 2 years old. We have used the vest, probably 8 or more times:

When she was 6 months old my husband and I took a trip to Mexico and she was still nursing and on my lap. I felt great knowing that if we hit turbulance - she was attached to me.

When she was 7 months she went to visit Grandma with me to Florida and once again - it worked great. Enough mobility so she could wiggle and nurse but safe enough for me to feel better.

When she was a year - we were able to go to Maui and that was a long flight - once again we used it. And, we were never told by the flight crew to take it off during take off and landing although I understand you're not suppose to use it during that time (only cruising). The attendants seemed to think it was a great idea to have her buckled to me.

Lastly, there are enough adjustments on the vest to get a good fit. It may not be the perfect solution but IF YOU HAVE YOUR CHILD/BABY ON YOUR LAP - I truly believe it's better than nothing.

This review is from: Baby B'Air Toddler Flight Vest - Red (Baby Product)

Although I had read that some people weren't allowed by the flight attendants to use this product, I had no difficulty on either United or Southwest. No one bothered us about it, even during take-off and landing. The vest itself was easy to put on my 10-month-old, and gave us a little more peace of mind during turbulant conditions. It was especially nice to have it while nursing our daughter. I only wish I had gotten the smaller size- although our daughter was in the weight range for the toddler size, her shoulders were smaller than the head opening. I would recommend people err toward the smaller size when choosing this product.
