Toddler beds for airplane travel?
Does anyone know of any travel beds that will fit on the floor of the bulkhead seats on airplanes? Or have any suggestions of what I can use besides blankets and pillows? I am going to be taking a 10 hour flight and although my daughter is already two and will have a seat, I would like for her to have more room and get better sleep. I have seen mothers lay their child on the floor on blankets and I am hoping I can find something that will make the hard floor more comfortable for her. Thank you!
Bring her car seat and strap her in. That way, you can get her a neck pillow and she won’t be on the floor. OR, just get one of those little roll up camping mats or a kindergarten sleeping mat. You won’t have that much space on the floor, though. That’s why blankets are best. Why not bring her a kid sleeping bag and let her lay on top of that with the airline blanket and pillow?
if your child has a seat on the plane, then she must be old enough to sleep like the rest of us on a plane, she’s just lucky enough to be able to curl up and sleep while actually fitting in the seat that way!
the car seat idea is good, especially because it will offer a little more piece of mind for you than a little lap belt would. BUT.. be prepared that your carseat has to fit into the plane seat and if it doesnt, they’ll have to take it off the plane and check it.. thats why its hard, not to mention a little heavier to bring the carseat with you.
