Happiness is – when your 2year old sleeps throughout the 8hr long flight and even if not sleeping, just enjoys the in-flight entertainment all by herself without bothering you! Too good to be true?!!
Well, today at besties, we are reviewing one such product which came as a blessing on the recent flight from Singapore to Prague – Plane Pal. Here is our review of the product.
The Plane Pal is an inflatable travel pillow that allows your kids to stretch out and sleep in comfort while traveling in economy class.
Β
Compact and Lightweight
The full kit plane pal comes with an inflatable pillow, pump and a travel backpack which in total weighs around 1.3kgs. Though, the backpack is easy to carry but can also be fit in your hand luggage if you don’t want to carry separately.
Quick and Easy to set up
It took us around 2minutes to set it up. You place the deflated pillow on the floor in front of your child’s seat and inflate it with the help of pump provided. Deflation takes only few seconds where you just open the valves.
YOUR CHILD CAN LIE DOWN AND SLEEP
Most of the times, kids in the flight get cranky coz they cannot get enough comfortable sleep. Plane pal comes to your rescue here as inflated plane pal reaches the level of the seat (as shown in the picture) making it a flat surface for your child to lie down. Though plane pal is suitable for kids aged 2-8yrs, it might be difficult for older kids to lie down straight but it sure does gives the extra space to relax those legs while sitting.
Bonus, I found it comfortable for me as I could set my leg to one side of it while my little one was sleeping π



The flight was way more bearable with Plane pal, as my lo could easily play/sleep in her own area.
Based on the experience, we highly recommend the product for parents who travel a lot with their kids. You might also want to check our post onΒ Flying with a toddlerΒ to make your flying experience better!

Oh my goodness, this is amazing kit to have for kids. I wish there was something similar for adults. I am love this
Now this sounds like an awesome item to have for kids when you travel, I could totally do with having something similar myself.
OMG I BET THAT THING WOULD FIT ME!!!!! SIGNING UP!!!! Ha!
I just love this! I wish I had it when my kids were tiny. Heck, now I want one.
This looks like a great product. Wish they had it when my kids were younger
wow! that is amazing and wish i had one when my kids were younger!
I saw this and thought it looked cool. My son is 10 and he would still love it!
I sure would love some plane pal when we start to bring our baby into our travels. Great review!
Oh my goodness! I am getting ready to take a flight here soon with my 2 year old! I am buying this like yesterday!
Wait why is this for kids? I freaking need a Plane pal myself I need plane comfort I need this!
Yes! Although, it was made mainly for children 2-8year old but adults can also use it as it can take max weight of 90kgs π
Oh that’s too cool. comfort is everyrthing especially with toddlers! I’ll check that one. Great find for frequent travellers.
Oh my god, this is a handy and useful kit for children. I need one for myself haha
This looks like a very useful thing to bring when we travel with the toddler. I remember when I was travelling with my third daughter. She was 3 yrs old. She was standing up on the plane corridor while the plane was taking up, OMG! Thank you for the review.
What a cool post! This product seems so helpful, I wonder who thought of this. Thanks for sharing! π
Oh wow this is so fantastic! I don’t have kids but my friends do and they’re always traveling so I know they’d love to get their hands on the plane pal.
Wow Ive never seen this ! I dont think we could use over here for things like sleeping though as we have to have belts on at all times.
You can still keep the belt on while using plane pal π
OMG this is such a helpful product! I think it would help adults too. Maybe I’ll try it next time I have a long flight.
We will be flying with all four kiddos next spring, and I already have anxiety. Thank you for sharing this tip.
I’m sure long flights with kids would be difficult. It’s great you were able to get something to help them relax in their own area. I know I would have loved that if my daughter were younger.
This sounds like a great idea when travelling with little ones! I will have to make sure we have a couple when we go on our next trip
