As annoyed as people may get when they see a mother and her soon-to-be [crying baby](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gianna-lullume-baby-soother) enter the cabin of an airplane, they can't blame the infant for vocalizing the discomfort most people endure when on a flight; the FlyeBaby helps to alleviate that, for tots at least. While the FlyeBaby can't do anything about the dry air and bad food, it can provide a [more comfortable perch](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/air-france-and-sofitel). Shaped like a mini hammock, the FlyeBaby secures to the upright tray on one end and either side of the parent on the other via a five-point harness system.

An affordable, portable and practical product, the FlyeBaby ensures that babies are well looked after for their sake and the sake of the other passengers. The FlyeBaby follows [FAA](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/modobag-20) regulations.
