Mother's Traveling with Infants - Stop & Read This!

I clicked through to read this piece due to the effectiveness of its title, "Jet Lagged" By BETSY WADE. I'm not one the people who flies during peak holiday periods but I was curious to see what the article was about so I clicked through. I was surprised to discover that the article is actually about an issue I've always had issues with, how infants are allowed to travel in their parents lap. Well, this article is so informative and well researched I just kept reading until the end. At that point I had several things running through my head because to be blunt of course I want everyone to be safe so this is flapping out there being ignored is surprising especially after you read about weight and gravity now put that into the context of a mother who is holding her baby and the plane slams into some turbulence and she's only holding the baby with one arm because she needed to get some thing from her bag, ironically for the baby. And the baby becomes a projectile, I'm using that term as its used in the underlying article.

Flying has become taking the bus in the sky and it is so rare anymore to be on plane that isn't full and I'm a tall man so unless I pony up for Business or First class which I don't typically do so I have a system to how I book my seats but that's for anther post.

It became very interesting when I read through some of the comments posted by readers to the article. One in particular provided the name of harness designed for this purpose so I
Goggled it and went to the manufacturer's website to check it out. I took some screen shots of the graphic which is also the name of this harness for flying with an infant. I'm not endorsing the product I'm simply sharing passing on the person's solution and links to more information. Click the graphic below to go the company website to learn more about this product.
