im flying with qantas, i wonder how many kg can it hold? dd will be 15mnths and shes about 9.5kg atm, rafferty sounds like a great idea! can we bring heaps in the suitcase because we are away for 2 weeks. also did you bring your own milk or does qantas have milk on the plane-not the tiny coffee milk though that would be a pita. whats a bulk head?
The weight for a bassinet is either 12 or 15 kg's can't remember but she will be fine at 9.5kg. It is just handy to have. The bulkhead are the seats that are at the front of a section. It is the wall that blocks off the galley. Some of these have bassinet and some are just the bulkhead. The bassinet is attached to the wall at about eye level and it just drops down. Also, if yoou get a bulkhead but no bassinet then there is space to put her on the floor. Some flight crews allow it and some don't. We were lucky and it was allowed and it worked out well!
We took our own milk but she was still having formula at the time. I am not sure if they will supply milk. We took a small cooler bag and filled zip lock bags with ice to keep the contents cool that way security could see what was in the icebag!
We took heaps of the rafferty's food in our case as well. Just make sure you declare it when you go through customs, they didn't have a problem because it was commercial food but it is best to let them know you have it. Also we found in the USA that the Gerber food was good so when we started running low on the raffertys we bought Gerber and used the Raffertys only for our flights!
