Product Description
-------------------
With most airlines, babies under 2 years of age don't generally
get their own seat on an aeroplane. SkyBaby is a compact pillow
and mattress, and is useful in helping them to be more
comfortable on your knee. It is designed to work with the airline
infant belt, or can be used without it. Being lightweight and
compact, it fits nicely into hand luggage, or the bag provided
allows SkyBaby to be clipped externally to something else, e.g.
the nappy bag. SkyBaby is fully washable and passes BS EN ISO:
12952: Part 1. SkyBaby is 56cm long (the width of the average
airline seat) and 29 cm wide, and can be used from birth. SkyBaby
can be used for babies of differing ages, depending on the size
of your child and whether they will be happy to take a nap on
your knee. www.sky-baby.co.uk
Manufacturer's Description
--------------------------
Peace of mind that your baby will comfortably wherever in
the world you fly, and whichever airline you choose
This compact travel mattress comforts Baby against the contours
and edges of your arms and lap, and helps stop excessive heat
transfer. The SkyBaby mattress includes a thicker padded pillow
section. The 'wings' hug your baby for extra comfort, and are
quick and easy to open and close.
Works with or without the infant airline belt Using a belt with
the SkyBaby is simple. Place the whole belt through the left or
right cutout, depending on the orientation of Baby's head, and
fasten around baby as usual. Some airlines do not use infant
belts. The SkyBaby can be used with or without the infant belt.
Use the bag provided to contain any spills on this fully
washable product
Weighing less than half a kilo, this portable bit of kit rolls
into a tiny package and clips externally to any other baggage

About the Startup
Describe your product in 3 words.
Not Rocket Science
How did you come up with the idea for this product?
As a regular traveller with her 2 daughters Rachel found that
flying with babies was not easy. She was looking for a product to
help create a comfortable ing environment during flights as
an alternative to ing on her lap or in an airline bassinet
on long haul flights. Identifying a gap in the market, along with
her engineer husband she designed and manufactured a lightweight,
practical travel mattress
What makes your product special?
Parents love the simplicity of the SkyBaby mattress. The SkyBaby
is easy to use and can be used over and over again. Unlike
bassinets provided by airlines (which are generally only provided
on longer haul flights), the SkyBaby doesn't restrict where you
sit on the aeroplane. And your ing baby can be carried
on/off the plane in its SkyBaby.
What has been the best part of your startup experience?
It really makes our day to hear stories from parents about how
the SkyBaby helped make their flight more comfortable and
enjoyable!
