Over 90% of all injuries on commercial airlines occur during flight, yet children held in parents’ laps are unrestrained. The Baby B’Air Flight Vest has been tested to exceed FAA stress tests levels for aircraft seats.

It’s not comfortable to think about, but for parents who must air travel with their infants or toddlers, it is something you must be prepared for. Your child will be restrained while wearing the Flight Vest; however, it is designed to be comfortable and easy to wear allowing the child to be held, fed and changed while in the garment. Just think of it like a child front carrier that allows you to “bond” with your child.

The Baby B’Air comes in two size options: Toddler (6mos-2years) or Infant (6 weeks-6mos). You can purchase one for $29.95 at OneStepAhead.com.

I can’t think of many things more likely to entice a toddler to stay at the table and eat than fun cutlery like this construction set available at FlyingPeas.com.  We’re fighting a big battle with my two year old right now, who doesn’t feel the need to sit at the table with the rest of us at meal times.  Although trucks aren’t her thing, per se, something along these lines would likely be a good idea for her, especially since she thinks everything from fruit snacks to potato chips needs to be eaten with a spoon or fork.

The set includes a fork, a spoon and a pusher to help your little one master getting food onto his or her utensils.  All three pieces feature textured grips, and can be put in the dishwasher for easy clean-up of even the messiest of toddler meals.  You might even consider taking these out to eat with you to keep your little one entertained (and seated) at the table.  The set retails for $20 at FlyingPeas.com.
