ABOUT

Our Story

We love to travel. Exploring new places, exploring different cultures, and making memories as a family is something we cherish. But as parents, we quickly realized that traveling with young children presents unique challenges - especially on long flights. 

Airplane seats are built for adults, not little ones. We found ourselves holding our children or letting them sprawl across our laps just so they could get some rest.

That's why we created Fly Tot - the original inflatable airplane cushion designed to help kids sleep better on flights, so families can enjoy the journey as much as the destination. Since launching in 2013, we've helped thousands of families travel more comfortably, and we remain committed to making family travel easier for everyone.

FAQ

Find the most frequently asked questions below.

  • The Fly Tot's patented design allows you to use the cushion in most economy and premium economy airplane seats, including the bulkhead or bassinet rows. One side is wide, for roomier spaces and one side is narrow, for those tighter seats. You can also place it lengthwise to fit bulkhead rows. 

    You can also use the Fly Tot in cars, trains and buses. It can also be used by adults to elevate the legs and reduce swelling and back pain.

  • “Is The Fly Tot Approved For Us On My Flight, And What Are The Safety Rules?”

    Our team has worked with international airline regulators to ensure the safety of our product for use on flights. The key concern airlines have is making sure the passengers properly use our Fly Tot. Thus we recommend our customer adhere to the following guidelines:

    • The Fly Tot inflatable cushion must not be used during taxi, takeoff or landing.
    • The Fly Tot should only be used on window seats or the middle seat of the center row to avoid blocking the aisle.
    • Your child’s head should not be placed towards the seatback in front of you.
    • Your child should remain securely buckled up at all times, with the seat belt around the torso.

    Please contact your airline prior to purchasing to ensure they will allow the use of the Fly Tot on board your flight. The final decision for use of the product remains with the flight cabin crew.

    Some airlines may also require that your child be moved to a seated position with the seat belt fastened whenever the seat belt sign is illuminated.

  • Inflated dimensions - 55cm x 37cm x 42cm / 22in x 14.5in x 16.5in | .87kg / 2lbs

    Deflated dimensions - 28cm x 20cm x 8cm /   11in x 8in x 3in

  • The Fly Tot was designed for children ages 2-8 years old, so they can stretch their legs onto the inflated Fly Tot cushion and thus lay flat and sleep comfortably on a long flight.

    Adults may also find the Fly Tot cushion can alleviate stress on their legs by allowing them to raise their legs and thus travel more comfortably on long flights.

  • The high quality nylon material is easy to clean. We recommend using a damp cloth and water. DO NOT machine wash or machine dry the cushion.

  • We offer a limited 1-year warranty against defects and workmanship from the original purchase date. This warranty does not cover problems arising from misuse, lack of reasonable care, or overinflation. Proof of purchase is required.
