Baby B'Air is worn by the infant like a vest. It is placed over the child's head, and secured by adjustable straps on both sides under the baby's arms. The third strap comes from behind, between the baby's legs, and buckles to the front with another adjustable strap. The excess straps Velcro neatly to the vest so that there are no loose straps.

The Baby B'Air can be worn as any other garment would since it is constructed of 100% cotton and comfortable to wear. After take-off, the parent feeds their seat belt through the loop on the back of the Baby B'Air, refastens the seat belt and tightens the seat belt. Your infant 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.

Current regulations (created before the introduction of the Baby B'Air) restrict use of all devices other than approved car seats. Regulations were created to prevent use of devices which could cause injury. The Baby B'Air Flight Vest was designed specifically to address these safety concerns but cannot be used inthe US during take off, taxi and landing until current regulations are amended. FAA regulations DO NOT prohibit the use of the Baby B'Air during the cruise portion of the flight. Additional informaiton is provided ona card that is included with each Baby B'Air Flight Vest.

 

I have a 13 month old daughter, and as a cabin safety representative for American Airlines, I am very aware of children's safety issues. Can I get one for my daughter? We're flying to California soon."

"Thank you for making this product! The Baby B'Air gave me peace-of-mind, as well as 2-hands during the entire flight. What a LUXURY!"
Customer from Dallas

"The flight attendant told me they see the Baby B'Air on many of their flights and that it probably saved my son's life."
Dutch passenger with infant son after severe turbulence over the Atlantic Ocean

"The Baby B'Air could be very helpful in incidents of severe turbulence to prevent injury." American Airlines Spokesperson

"We had an incident on a flight to Buenos Aires last fall where a parent fell asleep and the infant slipped from her arms and hit the floor. The baby was not hurt, but what a godsend the Baby B'Air would have been for her."
United Airlines Purser

Baby B'Air was founded by two Dads on the sole idea that children should have the same protection as adults during the entire flight.  Through years of research development and working closely with airlines and the FAA, we were able to introduce this unique safety product to the public.

Baby B'Air is based in Dallas, Texas, where every Baby B'Air is manufactured, packaged, and inspected individually by hand with only the finest quality materials.

Everyone here at Baby B'Air wishes you the safest travel with your infant and an enjoyable trip for the entire family!

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 belly belts and other devices during take-off, taxi and landing because they could cause more harm than good.

Since the vest has been designed to address the specific safety concerns of aircraft, Baby B'Air ® is working to win approval of our 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?

Shoulder or harness carriers and other such devices could place the child in the parent's crush zone, injure the parent's back or cause injury to the child. The Baby B'Air Flight Vest ® was designed specifically to address these concerns, allowing the child to travel out of the parent's crush zone while attached to the lap belt, not the parent's body. The Baby B'Air ® is the ONLY device to address these lap baby safety concerns.

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

No. Surprisingly, over 90% of all injuries occur during flight, mainly due to turbulence. Children are often left unprotected during this time and even removed from car seats. Parents are encouraged to secure their child throughout the flight.

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

Simply show the flight attendant the tag on the back of the Baby B'Air listing the FAA ruling noting that it does not prohibit use during flight. You may encounter flight personnel who are not familiar with the entire content of the FAA ruling and the tag is placed on the Baby B'Air to provide the exact location of the rule.

If a passenger has any misunderstanding with a flight attendant:

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?

The Baby B'Air is not a car seat and cannot be used during takeoff, taxi, and landing. The Baby B'Air provides protection during flight when the majority (over 90%) of injuries occur and your child is most vulnerable.

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

NO! The Baby B'Air was designed ONLY for use during air travel to prevent injuries due to severe turbulence and should NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCE BE USED IN AN AUTOMOBILE.

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

Many changes have occurred in the airline industry and it takes time to educate the 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 since 1999 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 14CFR part 21, permitting use of the Baby B'Air to be used during cruise portions of flight.
