Baby B'Air
In-Flight Safety Vest

    It's easy to fly with your little ones in this FAA-approved infant safety garment. Just secure the Baby B'Air on your 2 year and younger infant and you will have peace of mind knowing your child will be held securely in your lap while in flight.
     Even if you have brought along a car seat, the Baby B'Air will keep your infant safely secured while your child is in your arms.
      Commercial air travel is the safest way to travel, yet unexpected in-flight turbulence caused over 50 reported injuries in the last year.
      The Baby B'Air can be worn as a garment would since it is constructed of 100% cotton and comfortable to wear. After take-off, the parent feeds her seat belt through the loop on the back of the Baby B'Air, refastens and tightens the seat belt. Your child can now be held, fed and even changed while both parent and child remain securely fastened in their seat. The parent can read, eat or even nap knowing their baby cannot fall or pull from their loving arms.

• Made in the USA of durable and washable 100% cotton shell.

• Please read the FAQ below for more information on the Baby B"Air, FAA, etc

• Over 90% of all injuries occur during flight.
• Most major airlines require YOU to wear your seat belt through the flight, yet lap-held children remain unrestrained.
• Children weighing as little as 20 lbs can cause well over 200 lbs of force during turbulence.
• Even if a car seat is used, the child is often removed for feeding and comforting, leaving the child unprotected.
• Car seats may have to be checked at the gate due to lack of proper fit, unavailable window seating (required for all car seats,) or overbooking, leaving your child unprotected though the entire flight.
• The patent pending Baby B'Air is the ONLY solution to these problems
• Excellent for long range flights when additional seats are costly and the child must be in your arms for an extended period.

Frequently Asked Questions regarding the Baby B'Air

Why does the FAA not approve Baby B'Air^® for takeoff, taxi, and landing?

     The FAA changed the existing regulations in early 1996, banning devices other than approved car seats during takeoff, taxi and landing. This FAA rule change DOES NOT prohibit the use of the Baby B'Air^® during the cruise portions of the flight.  The FAA banned these types of devices during take-off, taxi and landing because they could cause more harm than good (for more information see the next question in bold below.)  These facts can be confirmed on the FAA website section titled "Reminders" second bullet point.  The Baby B'Air Flight Vest^®  is the ONLY product which addresses these safety concerns in it's patent pending design.
     Since the vest has been designed to address the specific safety concerns of aircraft, Baby B'Air^® is working to win an exception for our new product so that it may be used during the entire flight. Until that rule is changed, the vest cannot be used during takeoff, taxi and landing in the U.S. The applicable FAA regulation, known as a CFR, is clearly marked on the back of each vest for the benefit of the parent and flight personnel.  These regulations may also be found in the card that came with the vest.  It is a good idea to keep this card handy when you use the vest on any airline.  

Why is the Baby B’Air the only safety solution for lap children?  Can’t I use another device to secure my child safely?

Isn’t take-off, taxi and landing the most dangerous portion of the flight?

What if the flight attendant has a problem with the Baby B'Air?

If a passenger has any misunderstanding with a flight attendant:

     Since the Baby B'Air Flight Vest is a new product, some airline personnel are unaware that the FAA regulations allow the Baby B'Air for use in flight. If any parent has a problem using the Baby B'Air in flight, they may return the vest directly to Baby B'Air for a $50 refund check by providing the airline and flight information. This enables us to follow up with the airline. The airline can then inform the crew on the rules regarding use of the vest.
     The vest and information must be sent to:  Baby B'Air Returns, 4949 Beeman Avenue, Dallas, Tx 75223
     The vest can be in any condition and with or without packaging. However, it MUST be accompanied with the flight number, date, cities of departure and final destination, airline and passenger name, address and phone number. A $50 dollar refund will be sent directly to the consumer for providing this flight information. This will help us provide feedback to the airlines and educate airline crews throughout the country.

Is the Baby B'Air a replacement for an approved car seat used in aircraft?

Can I use the Baby B'Air in my car?

I work for an airline. Why don't I know anything about the Baby B'Air?

     The Baby B'Air was just introduced to the market in March 1999 and it takes time to educate the hundreds of thousands of individuals throughout the airline industry. Many airline employees love the Baby B'Air since, as standby passengers, they cannot guarantee a seat for their infant carriers.
     We have worked closely with representatives of the FAA and major airlines for over two years developing this product. We listened to their advice and input before introducing Baby B'Air to the market. However, there are many people who are just now seeing this new product and learning of the complete content of 49CFR which allows the Baby B'Air to be used during flight.
