Inflatable airplane bed called a ‘godsend’ by parents traveling with picky toddlers: ‘He slept 7.5 hours’
- A mother uses an inflatable bed when traveling with her son on long flights
- Misty Kingma traveled with her family on a 15-hour flight from LA to Australia
- Your son slept soundly on the flyaway inflatable crib for 7.5 hours
- The product inflates in 90 seconds and prevents toys from rolling off the seat
A mother found the perfect solution for traveling on long-haul flights with young children.
Mama Misty Kingma was traveling with her family on a 15-hour flight from Los Angeles to Australia and used the inflatable Flyaway Kids Bed to ensure her toddler got a good night’s sleep on the plane.
In a now-viral TikTok video, Misty’s son Lennox slept for 7.5 hours and had a “cozy place to play” while awake.
‘Highly recommended! Comes with a hand pump for inflation on the plane,” she wrote in the video.
But the product is quite expensive, retailing at $159/AUD222.25 – and some airlines won’t accept the bed as it poses a ‘danger’.

In just 48 hours, Misty’s video went viral, racking up a staggering 12.5 million views, wowing thousands worldwide.

“Wish there was an adult version,” added another, and a third wrote, “This is awesome!”
The Flyaway cot offers children a comfortable place to sleep on the plane and inflates in just 90 seconds. But some airlines do not accept the bed as it poses a “danger”.
But an airline hostess mentioned that the product is not accepted on flights of certain airlines.
“Flight attendant for 25 years and counts on a large US airline here. These are NOT permitted/unapproved by the FAA for use on our flights. Looks comfy though,” she wrote.
Another person confirmed: “Please remember that some airlines do not allow this on a plane as it is a hazard. The flight attendants will force you to remove it.’
