Before You Book

Four things to check before you book.

A few early decisions remove most of the gate-side guesswork.

  • Choose a manageable flightMatch the timing to your baby's routine and your own energy.
  • Check the infant rulesConfirm fares, minimum ages and restraint requirements with the airline.
  • Know your baggage allowanceCheck what is included for baby bags, prams and car seats.
  • Request the bassinet earlyAsk when you book, then reconfirm before departure.

Always confirm current rules directly.  Policies vary by airline, route and aircraft.

Airport to Seat

Five moves that make travel day easier.

Forget the perfect routine. Build in breathing room and keep the right things within reach.

  1. Arrive with a bufferExtra time absorbs feeds, changes and queues.
  2. Keep a carrier handyFree both hands for documents, luggage and security.
  3. Know the pram handoverConfirm where it goes and where you collect it.
  4. Pack in zonesGroup changing, feeding, sleep and entertainment essentials.
  5. Follow baby's cuesFeed, change or settle them when the moment appears.

Helping Baby Settle Onboard

Bring a little of home onboard.

Perfect sleep is not the goal. A short, familiar routine can make a bright, busy cabin feel easier to settle in.

  1. Keep it recognisableA feed, cuddle, sleep sack and the same song or phrase you use at home.
  2. Reduce distractionsKeep interaction calm and soften light around the sleep space when crew permit.
  3. Practise firstIntroduce travel sleep cues during naps at home before the trip.

Using CoziGo onboard?  Follow cabin crew instructions and remove it whenever requested.

When Travel Happens

When the plan changes.

Babies do not read itineraries. Keep a simple plan B for the moments most likely to unravel.

You do not get the bassinet

Keep a carrier accessible and plan for contact naps in shifts where possible.

Naps go off schedule

Follow sleepy cues instead of the clock and use the familiar routine you practised at home.

Your baby cries

Work through the basics - feed, change, temperature, comfort - then reset without judging the whole flight.

The flight is delayed

Keep one complete feed, change and sleep set outside your main luggage.

One Cover, More Freedom

One cover. Two sleep spaces.

Choose the moment that matters now, then see how the same familiar sleep cue moves with your family.

Everyday naps, wherever the day goes.
