[0007]SkyRest Child+ is an inflatable pillow for airline travel specifically designed for children. It will enable the child to stretch out in front of their seat instead of lying their legs across their travel companions. When inflated to the maximum level it measures 12″ by 18″ by 18″ and will occupy the legroom area in front of an airline seat. The pillow has a valve which allows the user to inflate and deflate quickly.

Embodiment Construction

[0013]SkyRest® Child+ is an inflatable pillow specifically designed for children during long duration flights. When inflated the pillow will occupy the legroom area (Seat Pitch) so the child's legs lie stretched out in front, horizontally with their seat instead of lying their legs across their travel companions. See FIGS. 3 and 4.

The diameter is at least ½″ allowing easy inflation by mouth, with minimally restricted airflow. When it comes time to deflate the pillow, it can be done rapidly for the same reason.

[0015]As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the pillow is roughly a rectangular cube. When the pillow is inflated to the maximum level it measures 12″ by 18″ by 18″. The material used can be either sheet vinyl or PVC of about 0.003″ thickness. The pillow can be made from only three pieces of mat...

After packing, lugging luggage and airport cues with your children the last thing you want after take off is to be frozen in one position in your seat because your child is lying against you or have their legs across your lap.[0005]After experiencing this a few times it gave me the idea to come up with an inflatable pillow that would occupy the leg room (seat pitch) area in front of the passenger seat. This would allow the child to sleep with their legs stretched out, in front, horizontally with their seat rather than lying in other directions across their parents or accompanied passengers.[0006]After some research I could n...
