- HELLO & Welcome to my channel!
I’m Carolyn, mom to twin babies, Summer & Winter! Today’s video is all about BABY BASSINETS ON AIRPLANES! Before we flew for the first Time with our twin babies, I had no idea what to expect. I searched and searched for TH-cam videos and images of them but had no luck, so now I’m excited to share this with you in hopes of bringing you value so you don’t have to wonder like I did before our babies’ first flight! ❤️
Happy travels! 🙌

Very sturdy in comparison to other strollers that we had. I get a lot of compliments for it. My baby loves being in the bassinet, The th-cam.com/users/postUgkx4qZutfp1y5CaTUcMTuFPbARE5u-8XLiE stroller comfortable. I like the rain cover and the white net that comes with it. I use the rain cover just to cover the car seat when it rains. If your front wheels don't turn well, make sure you lubricate.
I had no idea that they made such a thing! So helpful for traveling with littles.
Right?! We loved using these! So glad I could share a visual!
Such a huge fan of those little angels ❤️
Aww thank you!! ❤️
It’s about time !
What a fantastic video! My little one will be using a bassinet next week during an 11 hour flight.
Aw I hope the flight is amazing! Happy travels!
Wooooooo amazing 🤔🤗🎁💐
Right?! Thanks for watching!
🙏 Thank You So Much Mommy Carolyn for making this Bassinet Seat on Airliner video! Many parents have no idea that we needed to Book Bassinet Seat with the Airline when purchasing our Airtickets! 🙏 May Good Gods & Goddesses Blessed Babies Summer , Winter , Daddy & Mommy Carolyn always! NÅMÖ ÅMÏTÅBHÅ BÜDDHÅ 🕯🌷🌿🌍💖
Aw thank you! I’m so glad I could help - when I was first researching, I couldn’t find any videos or any information on how the process works so that’s why I wanted to share our experience with other parents! Thank you for your support!
Yes i buck it when I was travel to Amsterdam with my 8 months old daughter, very comfortable for the baby 👍👍👍
I mean book
That’s so great! Yes we loved it too! So glad we found out about these! Made traveling with babies so much easier 🤩
That's so cool didn't know they had this thanks for sharing
Of course! Yes these totally saved us when we flew with our twin babies overseas! 😍
@@SummerWinterMom yah thats awesome
When I flew Lufthansa and used the bassinet it was kind nice to start with, but turned into kind of a bummer. They made us take our baby out every time the seatbelt light came on and buckle them in on our lap🤦🏻♀️ Ended up being more trouble than it was worth. Just as we would get her to sleep in the bassinet the seatbelt light would come on! I do like the benefit of extra room though, even if the bassinet isn’t used.
Aw that does sound kind of difficult - I guess we were fortunate that there was never much turbulence on our flights so it never interfered with the babies sleeping in the bassinets. But glad you got to at least enjoy the legroom! Thanks for watching and sharing about your experience!
i just book our flight (qantas) next week with my 2 month old. i had to pay extra $40 aud for baby bassinet and this will be life saver for me travelling alone with my baby.
Yes! That’s great to hear - that’s exactly what we paid with United and Lufthansa as well! Hope you have a great flight!
Nice to see a fellow twin mama traveling with their babies! Did you book the whole row or just two seats? It looks like both bassinets span the 4 middle seats.
Yay twin mama! We only booked two seats and had the twins booked as lap infants along with pre-booking the bassinets, but we got lucky that the whole row was empty! 😃🙌
What's amazing is in all of our travels, I've never seen someone with a baby using the bassinet. A lot of times it's not even the families with babies in those front seats 🤔 wonder if not everyone knows they're available? I cant imagine my daughter actually staying in there-she moves ALL around her crib-I can barely keep her in her bassinet stroller these days 😅 I fear even the zipper and buckle wouldn't keep her down if she wanted to stand up lol you've got some very chill ladies 😉
Aw yeah I feel like you’re so right! I mean honestly I did so much research before flying with our twin babies overseas and still couldn’t figured out what to expect until we finally got into the airplane so I’m glad I could share this & hopefully help some families learn about what options are out there! I totally understand a baby who wants to move a lot too - this worked great for my babies when they were both 9 months & again at 10 months but by the time they were 14 months when we flew it didn’t work anymore because they were too tall and also didn’t want to sit still either lol
Definitely easier in that smaller less than 12 month stage - at least for us! We are definitely thankful that our babies are generally pretty happy, chill babies! 💗💗
Beautiful ❤
Thank you!
Informative video
Thanks for watching! So glad I could bring you value!
Very good to know
Glad I could share some value with you! Thanks for watching!
Have u booked the seat before boarding ? Which seat should we book so that we can have this type of bassinet
Yes! Definitely call your airline before booking your seats to book with them and they’ll tell you which seats to book, if they’re available, and how much the specific seat reservation costs. 👌
Wow. Thanks for the info. I am traveling with 2 months old twins and I'm so frustrated how to get to my destination.
Awww you’ve got this Mama!! Wow 2 month old twins! You’re inspiring traveling that early with them! How far do you have to go? Do you have another adult flying with you and your twins? I’d love to be able to make other suggestions based on our experiences!
Assalamoalikom thank you so much thang for your video
Thanks for watching!
That's wonderful, do you know which airlines provide them? How much to rent them? Currently planning a vacation with my twins, I thought I was going to have to buy them a seat each.
That’s exciting that you’re planning a vacation with your twins! The airlines that I’ve seen them on were Lufthansa, United, & Air Canada - I would think that bassinets would be an option on all long-haul flights (ours were 10 hours each) but it’s always good to call ahead to the airline and double check. We never saw them on the short flights - we just held our babies on our laps for the short flights. The cost for us each time was $40 per adult seat in the location where the bassinets were, but like I said in this video, definitely double check with the airline if the seats are available before booking 😊 I hope this helps!
I’m flying at 15 months and she’s already 29 inches at 10 months… do you think it’s worth booking IF the bassinet seats are only in the middle rows? Other option is no bassinet but window seats so she can look out the window and stay in our laps!
That’s a good question. I’d personally go for the window at that point. We flew again with our twins at 14 months and they didn’t fit in the bassinets anymore (we booked those seats) but it was nice to still have the extra room in that row
@@SummerWinterMom thank you for your response!
I was glad I took my child to the toliet to change her nappy. I think the flying made her get diarrhea during a trip. I personally had a issue for 3 years after I had my baby too. I think its air pressure or something. Thankfully it ended. Never the less you dont want too be changing a baby bum in the bassinet if that happens-flying poo can take on a double meaning. I did a lot of flying from the USA to New Zealand. Loved every min of it as I had a very well behaved child and when people got off the plane they congratulated me but asked if i drugged my child as it was a night flight from LA to NZ and she slept, NOoo I did not!!. Took me from my home in boston to my moms home 33 hours with flying and switching planes and driving. We was on 3 flights per trip one way. Did a 6 hour lay over as to a 4 hour lay over as once I'd miss the flight on the 4 hour lay over from LA to NZ. . Due to the plane having a issue before take off. Very rare did a flight take off with out dramas-delay. So it was better to sit for additional 2 hours than miss the flight all together. Enjoy a coffee. My daughter had been on 19 planes by the time she was 3. I had a go-go kids travel mate (frame on wheels which you order online in a catalog) attached to a Britax Car seat. The car seat with wheels attached are too heavy- bulky. I had one large suitcase which once dropped off I wouldnt need to worry about until i got to Nz as the airport people transferred it onto the next plane for me depending on what airline company I was with. back pack for nappies, 2 changes of clothes for both of us, 2 toys and a tin of formula and bottle incase my boob stopped working which I'd highly doubt it would or if some one for got theirs. Attached to my side I had my laptop. Dont bring piles of toys. I had a harness for my child. I took her off it and she tried doing a runner. A harness when they are walking is very useful if you have suitcases and travelling alone. My child in the airport decided to be a monkey of all days and thought it would be funny to run away from me. I told her how important it was to stay close to me at all times. Shes never done that before. Glad for my harness dispite a few dirty looks I had from people. I remeber before I had kids how I thought it looked horrible seeing kids in harness (kids on dog leads). Been educated I realised for kids especailly aged 2 its necessary. My child wasnt ADHD. But I'd hate to be the parent whose kid is. Always take your child In to the toliet with you. Handicap bathroom or family room. When my daughter was a little older I used a back pack which was easy to use and I was able to place her easy into it alone and onto my back. Hold my lap top on my hip, suitcase in one hand and a nappy bag with change of clothes for both of us in the other. I had a car seat waiting for me with a relative to drive us the 2.5-3 hour car ride home when I went for a few trips. I would totally sleep the whole way. I would never sleep on the plane, too scared someone would drug my child. So important to travel with a very comfortable stretchy nursing cover as I had a man trying to see my boobs while breast feeding.
Wow you have so much experience traveling with little ones! That’s all such good insight, thanks for sharing! I’ve seen some of those products before - so interesting seeing all of the travel baby products out there! Thanks so much for sharing your input! I love this community of travel mamas!
@@SummerWinterMom glad I had just the one.
how old were your babies during this video? I will be traveling with my one year old on 14 hour flights and wondered if she would be able to till use one
It all depends on how big your infant is but our twins were only 9 months in this. We flew again when they were 14 months and they didn’t fit anymore at that time.
Hope this helps and I hope you have a great flight!
I also have another flight video from around that time where we didn’t book bassinet seats but we’re lucky enough to have extra seats near us for them to stretch out on. Here is that video in case you’re curious about our experience: th-cam.com/video/tbCOTrszDVU/w-d-xo.htmlsi=6EBdhLZZWQdELhRi
Do they provide bassinet seat for toddler also im long haul flights ?
Hi! Typically the bassinet would fit a baby up to 12 months old. Our kids didn’t fit anymore when we flew at 14 months old
I found the beds disappointing because I couldnt see my child when I was sitting in my chair. I wish I had the option while my child was in it that it was able to be attached to the wall lower down so I could look down and see if my baby was awake.
Aw yeah I get that, it would have been nice to have a direct view since they were eye level right in front of me - I just leaned over every few mins to peek at them (maybe it helped that I’m tall too so it wasn’t as much of an issue for us)
@@SummerWinterMom I'm tall but I had to unbuckle and sit forward and stand to look over.
Does anyone know if my 1 year old can fit in these bassinets? I’m gonna travel with my 1 year old soon for the first time and I’m very nervous. I asked to receive the bassinet ,I’m in the second row of economy premium
That’s a good question; honestly it really depends on the size / height of your little one. Our girls are taller than average and when they flew at 10 months they fit just fine but when we flew at 14 months again, they were too big. Hope this helps!
which seats to book while travelling with baby to get bassinet
I always call and ask the airline- since every aircraft has a different layout
When we select bassinet seat airline they charge something o no
It depends on the airline - you’d have to call them directly to ask if they charge to change your seat to the bassinet location. Hope this helps!
Can a 10 month old sleep in this bassinet? Or is it for smaller infants
It could probably fit a 10-month depending on how tall they are. Our twins were 9 months old and they were pretty tall but they fit just fine! But we flew again at 14 months and they were too tall for it. I’d say you probably have until 10 or 11 months unless your baby is tall like ours are. Hope this helps!
@@SummerWinterMom Hi, I am traveling in 15 hours flight and my baby is 25 pounds and 33 inches. Will he fit in the bassinet ?
WHAT!!! They make this?
Yes!! Amazing right?!
Which air line it was plzzz
Hi! This was with Lufthansa and also I showed with United airlines
@@SummerWinterMom oh tnx
What about business class?? Do they have baby bassinets for business class?
Hi, I believe they do have additional ones there as well as in first class but it’s always good to call the airline to double check where they’re located because every aircraft has different locations and only certain seats will have that capability so it’s good to request availability as well.
Wish all airlines did this
It was so helpful! I think they have them for all long haul flights but obviously I haven’t flown on all of them yet so who knows? Anyways I totally agree with you!
How long are ur babies? My baby is a tall baby around 70cms and m worried she might not fit in the bassinet.
Hey! Both my babies are really tall - not sure about exact height when we flew but in this video they were 10 months old and fit perfectly! I think if they were shorter/average sized, they’d have probably fit until 12 months or so. I hope this is kind of helpful!
Hello, I'm not sure if you will read this comment but may I ask if the bassinet chargeable or not??. In two months time I'm traveling with my 10 month old baby alone for like 14 hours, aside from passport there is a paper ( I don't know the exact name) that should be taken to our doctor/pedia to allow the child to travel, my question is what is that name of this piece of paper. Thank k you watching from Amman, Jordan.
Hi, thanks for watching my video! Regarding your questions, we paid an extra $40 per adult seat on Lufthansa and United Airlines each way to be located with the bassinets. Depending on the airline, the baby is either free of charge or discounted if they’re a “lap infant”. Regarding extra papers I believe it depends on where you’re going, all we needed was their passports for international flights but every country has different restrictions that keep changing so I definitely recommend double checking all requirements before traveling. Hope this helps & I hope you have a smooth flight with your baby!
How old was your baby?
When we flew with the bassinets the twins were first 9 months old, then they flew internationally again at 10 months and again at 14 months. By 14 months they didn’t really fit in the bassinets anymore because my babies are both very tall. Hope this helps!
Can a one and half years baby can use this?
Depends on size but our girls were too big when we went at 14 months old so most likely that’s too big. I think they say up to 12 months
It’s for infant on lap?
When we booked the airplane bassinets we had our infants booked with lap seats
do they work for 11 months old?
Depends on their size but for our babies it worked just fine at 10 months old and they’re tall so I’d think it could still likely work around 11 months - but call the airline ahead of time to double check the size of bassinets and if they have any age restrictions (every airline seems to have different requirements)
How old can sleep in basnit
When we flew with our twins, they used the bassinets at 9 months and again at 10 months old but then we tried again at 14 months old and they were too tall and didn’t fit anymore. I also think every airline has different specifications and so it’s important to check with the airline first about their bassinet size and any restrictions, etc. Hope this helps!
does it work for 1 year baby
Hi! It depends on their size, for us we were able to use it til about 12 months but after that our twins got too tall. Hope this helps! You could also call the airline to ask about the size of the bassinet.
Video is fine. But you speak soooo fast that it is sort of irritating.....
I’ll try to speak slower next time. Thanks for the feedback.
How odd....I didn't find your speaking to be fast at all, and certainly not irritating
If you feel irritated, it's a you problem. Next time adjust the speed on the video to your liking.
