The $5 Kmart item you wouldn’t expect to buy for your children to help them fly comfortably.

A pet bed!

The idea was shared on the Facebook group Bondi Babies by a flight attendant who saw a family using pet beds on a flight.

“I’m a flight attendant and just had a passenger travelling with three little kidlets,” the flight attendant wrote.

“She bought three soft dog beds ($5 Kmart) as a comfy pillow.

“The soft padded bits around the edge softened hard armrests, buckles etc, and also served as a pillow and leg rest

“It was a winner! Perfect for airlines that don’t allow BedBox/Fly Tot etc.”

  • What a great idea. Who would have thought a dog bed could be so handy

  • I’m gonna look into that. We’re flying on the 25th of June to the Netherlands, arriving the 26th of June and flying the 27th of June to Africa, arriving the 28th of June. So much sitting, I’m not looking forward traveling with 4 kids.
