Product Information

Ideally, this works best in a window seat, although you can use it in any seat (you’d just need to move the sleeping child if someone in the window seat wanted to exit if you used it in the centre/aisle seats. It’s almost claw shaped, with a main body that supports the crook of your neck and a cushion extending below the chin to stop your head sliding forward.

We have never had any concerns about the safety aspect of our Fly Tot, since we know how quickly it can be deflated. It’s a good height to create an even bed surface for your little one, making it a great option for a baby travel pillow for the plane. I have used these pillows on a variety of long haul airlines and never had an issue with being allowed to use it.

This travel neck pillow is not the traditional U-shape; it has no fill and is very thin, but it still takes the top spot on my list. That all round support is particularly crucial for middle or aisle seats, where you have nothing to rest your head against.

The larger cushion lets you elevate your legs and feet, and when you combine the two flight cushions a child under three feet tall can lay down. In a proper chair, the lumbar part should actually push out to support that curve in your low back, but they don’t do that on planes because if they did, it would affect their seating, so a lot of them curve in,” says Dr. Editor at Pack Hacker Lauren Maternowski’s promise that I would be able to “fully lean against the seat’s headrest,” was completely true.

We also prefer popping our daughter’s head on the seat, with her feet on the pillow because I feel that as soon as the seat in front of the pillow reclines that it might squash her head. This is the travel pillow I’d keep in my bag in case of emergency naps, if not my choice for a long haul. Remember: If you’re looking for the best travel pillow for long haul flights, make sure you check if the brand you like can be used on your usual airlines. He happily agreed and was positively delighted by the “little bed” that appeared before his very eyes! If you’ve ever sat on a long journey and woken yourself up with a lolling head and a sore neck then you might want to invest in a travel pillow.
