A guide for what you need to buy, read or consume to enhance your recreation and travel experience
BUY
FlyeBaby Infant Airplane Seat
$49.95; flyebaby.com
At first glance, it might look like a catapult that will send your infant skyward through the cabin. But, actually, the infant seat for your baby to use on airplanes features a five-point restraint harness to keep the bundle of joy firmly in front of you. Yes, in front. You attach the seat to the seat back, via the tray table, and extend it toward a harness around your waist. That way, baby is staring at you the entire flight and not drooling on the guy in the middle seat. Caveat: Not for use in turbulence, or takeoffs and landings.
