Toddler plane beds - any good?!

[IsabelT]

Hi all, has anyone used (or got to sell / lend) one of those Jetkids box bed things that turn plane seats into beds for little ones? (or the inflatable alternative versions?) If so is it worth getting one? Hoping it might make a flight to Oz with a three year old marginally less painful! Thanks!

We do, it's not really a bed (at least not for our 4 year old) but it does provide them with leg support and helps them sleep. Given they're pretty cheap and very portable I think it's worth getting.

We borrowed a JetKids Bedbox from a friend for a long haul flight recently and I was so glad for it. Our son (large 3 year old) loved riding on it so didn?t need a buggy and it was great for giving him somewhere to put his legs up on and stretch out a bit. It was easy to convert it into the bed box (flip the lid over). You can fit it a few toys inside (it comes with a little mattress thing inside it). I think it?s expensive to buy (?140) but I am planning to get one.

Thanks both, sound like it?s definitely worth getting one!

Just to clarify we have the ?19 inflatable from Amazon not the ?180 bed box. I think it's more than sufficient for a long flight.
