Inflatable footstools are a great accessory for making sure the kids (and you!) get some rest. Fly Tot’s light and compact inflatable cushion allow smaller children to lay completely flat and have more rest time on long-haul flights.
Sassy Mama Tip: Be sure to check if your airline accepts these footrest devices prior to check-in.

Remember – footrests cannot be used during take-off or landing and many airlines will require safety belts and supervision when using them.
