Believe it. What do you THINK happens to a baby in turbulence? Ask the 12 mothers of babies killed in turbulence over the past 30 years if they think this "official" video is not accurate.
This video just freaked me out more than calmed me. I'm flying with my newborn in two weeks and Now I am terrified. My baby can't use one of these cause she's too small.
Don't be afraid to fly with your baby. Baby B'Airs come in sizes to fit newborns (infant) to 24 months (toddler). It has a no strings Money Back guarantee if you're not happy. It will give you peace of mind in flight.
@babybairflightvest I don't think the vest would be safe on a newborn though, I think if anything, it would hurt the baby even more then protect them. If I were to even consider buying this product, I'd want to see some evidence that my child would be safe. Not buy it, try it and lose the life of my child cause it didn't work proper.
The reason why the gov't doesn't require kids to be in seats is because the gov't figures that the parents will choose using automobile transport (a less safe form) instead
The government should force parents to buy extra seats for kids for specific flights:
* Flights going to or from the US Mainland to or from Hawaii, Alaska, Puerto Rico, and the USVI
* inter-island Hawaii flights
* Flights to and from Guam, the Northern Marianas
* Most international routes (where car travel is unlikely)
The FAA also banned any kind of harness like the CARES system until it was shown that that device CAN protect infants as well as a car seat. Also, the CARES cannot be used for infants under one year of age. Do parents of infants get NO option for their baby's safety?
Parents who choose to fly with a baby on their lap are NOT choosing money over safety and that is an insult to flight attendants, pilots and even FAA personnel who HAVE bought a Baby B'Air for their children and grandchildren.
Actually, I have THREE children ages 8, 4 and 18 months, and I'm flying with them on Friday to Ireland, which is why I've contacted numerous outlets to find out the SAFEST method of travel for my children. The FAA and the NTSB both strongly recommend the use of an FAA approved CAR SEAT. The CARES system is a harness that works as well as a car seat. The baby b'air is ridiculous. It cannot be used during take off and landing which is when children are at their most vulnerable.
The FAA PERMITTING something does not mean it is RECOMMENDED. Pay the extra money, put your precious cargo IN A CAR SEAT in their OWN seat. It's not that difficult. We had to pay an additional 800$ for my 18 month old to be in a seat, and I don't regret it for a moment, because I know he will be safe, during turbulence, during take off and during landing. So in answer to your question, parents of infants get a very good option for their baby's safety. Put him/her in a car seat!
And just so you know, if a child can sit restrained for 6 hours during a car ride, they can sit for a few hours restrained during a plane ride. Or do you perhaps let your children out of their car seats in your car?
Mrs. Owens, I have read your blogs on the baby b'air safety vest and I disagree with you on a number of points. Being someone who has flown many times I've seen number of things in the air including severe turbulence. Lap children will always be around because of the economy and saving on a seat for a child. Many parents take them out of thier seats AFTER take OFF and put them in BEFORE landing and spend most of the flight on their parents laps. This is when turbulence comes without warning.
Continued. The Baby b'air vest protect against that very thing. I've seen a mother nursing her child (modestly) while using a vest. Something you can't do with a car seat and I've seen children screaming to get out of theirs while other lap children rest, play and sleep comfortably in their parents lap while flying. Safe from unexpected turbulence. That is what is supposed to to. As a paramedic with the fire service for over 25 years, I promote safety in all forms and I admit --- CONTINUED
that I used one with my daughter when she rode on the lap of my wife's or mine. She was happy, content and protected against sudden turbulence and I was glad she had it on.
Well, MrsOwens, you are MISINFORMED. The Faa has permitted the Baby B'Air for over 10 YEARS, and many children have been spared injury due to turbulence. The FAA has stated for the record that while the Baby B'Air is not yet approved for takeoff or landing, they DO ALLOW ITS USE DURING FLIGHT SINCE IT CAN REDUCE THE RISK OF INJURY TO A CHILD FLYING ON A PARENT'S LAP. You must not have children if you think a baby is going to stay strapped in a restaint for a long flight, especially an infant.
First of all, this device is NOT recommended by the FAA. The FAA AND the NTSB both recommend that infants ride in an FAA approved car seat while traveling. You can look it up. There IS a much less cumbersome way of traveling with a harness, and it's called CARES, (weighs less than one pound.) and it is the ONLY FAA approved harness. However, it still requires the purchase of a separate seat. If you are worried more about money than the safety of your child DON'T FLY.
It is scary to think hundreds of lap babies are exposed to such danger every day. It would be like gambling with your kid's health or worse their life by not using a Baby B'Air. This video clearly demonstrates why lap kids need restraint. We don't normally think of turbulence. Car seats are too cumbersome. Have you ever traveled alone with two young kids? I'm glad the Baby B'Air is so simple and easy! Besides it is reassuring that I can restrain my baby comfortably while mommy feeds baby.
No, that's a good video. Ask any parent of a survivable plane crash how long it would take to get a baby out of a car seat in a crash. Babies do NOT sit for 4 hours in a car seat on a plane, particularly infants. A plane is NOT a car. Why do you think the FAA has NEVER mandated car seats on aircraft?
Take a poll of people who were in survivable plane crashes- most will say those crashes happened during take of or landing. Exactly when the B'Air is NOT allowed to be used by the FAA, and exactly when it is mandatory to have your child in a car seat if available.
The key to surviving a crash is FAST evacuation. A child trapped in a burning plane in an overturned car seat will DIE. Who wants her child in a car seat when the overhead compartments are MELTING all over the passenger seats, right where a car seat would go, as happend in the Continental crash? Or, trapped in a car seat while the water came up over the passenger seats on the US Air plane in the Hudson? The FAA does NOT mandate any child be in a car seat. It is up to the parent if they wish.
I'm not sure why you believe it is that hard to remove a child from a car seat? If your child is in a bucket it is simply unbuckling a seatbelt, and if they are in a convertible you only have to undo two things- chest clip and buckle. The FAA does require child seats be used on take off and landing if available- during severe turbulence they require a child to be placed on the floor if there is no seat.
Actually, it is not allowed to place children on the floor. ESPECIALLY during severe turbulence. If a Flight Attendant, told you that you should report them. It is never allowed to place a child to be on the floor while in flight.
For many years parents WERE told to place their lap infants under their seats during an emergency landing. And this was a step up from what they had asked parents to do before they decided this was a good idea. They USED to ask you to place your baby in the overhead compartment. Both of these actions caused NUMEROUS injuries and the FAA now strongly recommends that infants travel in an FAA approved car seat in their OWN seat. They DO NOT recommend anything like the baby b'air.
While we always have a seat for my child - she won't sit it in it for very long. She gets antsy and wants out. Nothing worse than a temper tantrum on a plane. Cars are different. She can see out the window - on a plane it is just sky and clouds.
For a safety video, it was too comical... :( I couldn't help but laugh... Please redo your ad (at least the baby flying off) if you truly care. Just my opinion as a concerned parent and 3d artist. There are better ways to present this without making people burst into laughter.

That's a bad video.
In addition, the B'Air basically turns a baby into an airbag. A baby is a person- deserving of their own seat on the aircraft.
