- • Comfort: Soft PVC flocking surface with a wide mat that supports feet or allows toddlers to lie down
- • Best for: Families and frequent travellers who need a compact, portable solution for child comfort on journeys
- • Not ideal for: Airlines that restrict inflatable items and travellers who need a fixed, hands-free foot support
Inflatable, height-adjustable footrest that folds into a compact drawstring bag for transport. Inflated size forms a wide resting surface with a washable, soft flocked PVC covering for improved comfort.
Pocket-sized portability - with compact foldaway drawstring bag
Folds to approximately 20 x 15 x 15 cm and weighs about 390 g, allowing easy storage in hand luggage or a buggy basket. The supplied drawstring bag keeps the rest protected between uses.
Easy to stash under a seat or in a family bag, so support is available without adding bulk to luggage.
Cushioned support for little legs - with soft PVC flocking surface
Constructed from flocked PVC that resists decolourisation and shedding, offering a soft, tactile surface against skin. Wide mat design can be positioned vertically or horizontally for different uses.
A gentler surface helps reduce leg strain on long trips and makes naps on upright seats more comfortable for toddlers.
Tailored height options - thanks to a two-chamber design
Three height settings achieved by inflating the lower chamber, the upper chamber, or both chambers together, so the resting height can be altered quickly. The stacked chambers create a stable cube-like shape when fully inflated.
Offers adjustable support to suit different child sizes and varying seat pitches without complicated setup.
