Baby Bjorn safe to use while flying?

Unfortunately you are not allowed to use baby carriers during a flight, As CrazyLady said it's to do with their in case of emergency procedures. I know you can bring a carseat for them to travel in but then obviously you would have to purchase an extra ticket.

Yep, they're not allowed. I always though this was unfair until an air hostess explained it's because if you need to put on a life jacket, you need to get bub out first and there may not be time.

Not to be different, but I've used my baby carrier (close baby carrier then ergo) on every flight that I've been on. I'm not allowed to use it for take off and landing but once we are up in the air it's no problem.

I find that by having a seat up against the window and using a pillow I can get pretty comfy when holding him. I even managed a snooze.

Thanks everyone, just got off the phone to Qantas and was told that Baby Bjorn is fine to use during flight but Murphy's Law we'll get on board to find that we're not allowed! Will give it a shot.

I used my hug a bub to carrY J onto the plane, then took him out for take off, put the seatbelt onhim, then after take off, put him back in, had to take him out and put seatbelt back on for landing as well.

I used my baby bjorn when flying from perth to melbourne. No-one told me I couldn't. You still need to place the infant seatbelt around bub and not the carrier. I just undid the top latches so if DD needed to be taken out in a hurry it could happen.

I think fionaw is right I have used my babywrap which is the same as a hug a bub and the only restriction was that your not allowed to use it for take off and landing and the reason is that that is time most likely to crash and need to be able to get baby out for emergency proceedures. besides I wanted to feed my baby during those times to help with her ears. whether u ff or bf it can be good to do to help them cope. I have been on about 10 flights around australia with her now and never had a problem. they make u take them out at security too which is a PITA!

Good luck
