Every once in a while, if you’re lucky, and if you keep having babies (ha!), a great new product comes along just in time to make traveling with your child a little easier.
I should probably disclose up front, however, that I am in the somewhat unusual position of being approached on an almost-weekly basis by inventors of “great new products” that will do just that. I can’t review them all, let alone try them out on my own children. But when I find something that strikes a chord based on my own travel experiences, I do what I can.
That’s why I’m saying, “Heads up!” to any of you who might be planning flights with infants–particularly long-haul, overseas, and red-eye flights in the near future. I have a fresh detailed review of the new FlyeBaby posted at TravelswithBaby.com, including the best travel-friendly features (as I see it) and other considerations as well.
This is the “baby travel hammock” that was just released this fall, and was included in the 2009 SkyMall Inventor’s Corner. Better yet, it’s the baby travel accessory you can win (a $49 value) right here in the Travels with Baby blog!

PS I’m sure that through the course of time this will be erroneously mentioned as the FlyBaby. A if it weren’t cool enough that this was a mom-invented product, get this: that mom’s last name is honest-to-goodness “Flye.” She tells me that when her baby came onto the scene, friends called her “the little Flye Baby.” Down the road, as they developed the product, the name was a shoe-in.
