I bought this for a trip across the country with my 8-month old, and it has since proved extremely useful in all kinds of instances.

Airplane use:

My only real complaint about this product is that there is no maximum height given online, it simply indicated there is a line on the tag. So you have no way of knowing if your child is too tall until you actually order it and have the FlyeBaby and your baby in front of you. This isn't a big issue however, because there is only a height limit for use on a plane, not for its many other uses.

My daughter is in the 97th percentile for height at 30 inches tall, and her head came up a good 2.5 inches past the line. I would only really recommend this to lay a baby in on a plane for 6 months and under. However this was still useful on the plane for us. What I did was install it as described in the directions, then I sat cross-legged and sat my daughter upright on my lap facing me. Basically the FlyeBaby served as a little extra support and reassurance that my daughter wasn't going to fall backwards off my lap. It also gave her an even surface to sit on. I did not lay her back on it, as her head would have been pretty much touching the tray table, and that is a big safety issue. Last thing you need is a little bit of turbulence and baby hitting their head.

Use on a chair:

This product proved so extremely helpful on our trip. We didn't have any of my daughter's usual 'gadgets' with us (exersaucer, bumbo seat, walker, high chair etc etc), so this was invaluable to give us a place to secure her. It rolls up super small so I was able to toss it in the diaper bag and quickly install it on chairs at the hotel, in restaurants etc and give her both a place to eat and a place to play. The straps are extremely versatile and this can easily be installed on any chair I've found thus far. This product has replaced the need to bring any extra gear along when visiting friends' houses. We used to always bring her Bumbo or her swing, but now we can just bring this and she can sit right at the table with us.

Overall:

This product is extremely easy to install and remove. I'm talking 1 minute the first time you ever use it, and 10-20 seconds once you're accustomed to it. I am able to install it even with a squirmy baby on one hip. The harness that secures the baby is safe without being overly restricting, and adjusts to a wide range of sizes (perfect for my TALL baby). The material is durable and is not showing any signs of wear even with how much my baby moves around on it, pulls the straps etc. The price is a little over kill to me considering how simple a design it is, but there is nothing quite like this on the market so they could really charge a million bucks for it if they wanted to. And if you think about it, this can easily replace the need for a high chair altogether, so you could save money ultimately.

I highly recommend this product.

When I saw this product I thought it was the miracle I was hoping for. I often travel abroad (12 hour long flights)alone with an infant ON LAP.

Its hard to set it up with the infant already on your lap (again I travel alone). If the person in front of you reclines their seat it might squish your baby's head! Once their seat is reclined the space in front of you becomes very tight. Anyways... for an airplane seat it did not work for me. But as a high chair harness it works great!

I couldn't reall figure it out on how to use it well.Then the flight attendant asked me not to use it.

Honest reviews on Infant Airplane Seat - Flyebaby Airplane Baby Comfort System - Air

I think a lot of the negative reviews I have read are because they are trying to use this seat for those older than an infant. To me, an infant is under the age of one. It is for infants and not toddlers! Here are some helpful recommendations to make using this device a comfortable way to travel for you and baby: 1. Bring a piece of foam or padded blanket on your lap to make the ride more comfortable for the baby. 2. Bring a small piece of duct tape to secure the tray lock. Easy to remove at the end of the flight and was okay with the attendants. 3. Only use (as required) during in-flight travel. This is NOT for take-offs and landings and it is completely FAA compliant. Bonus: You can use this on chairs in places like restaurants, too, so keep this in your diaper bag! Handy gadget! I imagine it would come in quite handy in an international travel situation where the flights are very long.

Absolutely loved this! My daughter had gotten to the stage where she loved her own space and didn't necessarily want to be held for long periods of time. This obviously worried me, being that I would be on an airplane for 3+ hours with her on my lap. This flyebaby was the perfect solution. Right after we had reached our cruising altitude I set up the flyebaby and it was like my daughter had her own little seat directly in front of me. Kind of looked like a baby hammock. She was extremely comfortable and being that she was right in front of me I was able to play with her and soothe her when she needed it. She fell asleep both times we used it. Definately worth the $ spent on it and made the plane ride enjoyable for the both of us. I would recommend testing it out before you get on the plane so you know how to use the straps. Very simple, but looks confusing.
