Baby B'Air Infant Products Baby B'Air Flight Vest

Flying with your baby or young child can be nervewracking even under ideal conditions. This innovative vest provides an extra measure of protection - and peace of mind - by letting you buckle your child onto your own lap belt during flight. Should you encounter any unexpected turbulence, or even just fall asleep, she stays securely within arm's reach. Why not use a regular baby carrier for the same purpose? Because shoulder or harness carriers could place your baby in your crush zone during flight, increasing the risk of injury to you both. Baby B'Air Flight Vest
