Next week we are flying Melbourne-Sydney-Singapore with a our 12 week old.
After making several calls to Qantas it appears we have missed out on a bassinet for our Singapore-Melbourne trip home.
We will take the Baby Bjorn with us but I am nervous about using the Baby Bjorn as I want to ensure he can still breathe if I fall asleep during the flight.
I have heard of people rolling up a small cloth to place against the baby's chest so they are positioned slightly away from their parents chest.
Does any one have any suggestions ?
He is quite big for 12 weeks of age (weighs approx 7 kilos) head control is getting quite good, maybe I can face him foward in the baby bjorn?
I'm new to bb so please let me know if this is posted in the wrong place.
I am pretty sure i read that most airlines won't let you use baby carriers while flying. I think it's in case of emergency they can get the baby asap if needed. Someone correct me if I'm wrong please ......
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.
Baby Bjorn safe to use while flying?
