Can a Toddler Really Sleep on a Plane? Testing the BedBox

The JetKids BedBox is a ride-on suitcase that transforms an economy seat into a lay-flat bed. It sounds too good to be true, but for long-haul flights, it creates a dedicated sleep space for children up to 4 years old.

Why We Love It

The ride-on feature. Getting a toddler through a long terminal is hard. Pulling them while they sit on this is fun.

Key Specs

• Weight: 6.6 lbs
• Capacity: 20L of storage inside
• Age: 3-7 years (ride on), 2-4 years (bed mode)
• Airline Approval: Check carrier list

Real Parent Review

"My 3-year-old slept 7 hours straight on the way to London. I got to watch a movie. Best money spent."

Verdict

It is expensive and not all airlines accept it (check first!), but if it works, it is the holy grail of international travel.
