Having children hasn't stopped us from traveling but it has certainly made it more of a challenge. The idea behind JetKids started in 2008 when Christina & Halvor were flying long haul with their young daughter. Getting her to sleep on the plane was easier said than done and they ended up sacrificing their space as she spread herself out across the seat row and themselves. Neither was it comfortab

le, and although not strictly required: Using the seat belt in this position was not possible either. After the their first unfortunate flying experience with their young one, they started their research. Some parents solved this by letting their children sleep on the cold floor. Some parents let their children sleep partly on them and partly on their own seat - meaning they couldn’t move for the next 9 hours. Some parents put lots of stuff, like suitcases, pillows and blankets in front of the seat to extend the seat. This required too much work and too many items. They both agreed that there needed to be an easier and better way to solve this. An idea was born and prototypes were developed. One of the first ideas was to create an inflatable product that fills up the empty space in front of the seat. However this idea was quickly thrown away since inflatable devices inside a pressurized aircraft cabin could cause problems. Additionally, it wasn’t very practical. So instead they developed some simple prototypes of a collapsible platform that did the same purpose. They lent the prototypes to flying parent and their kids, and receive positive and enthusiastic replies in return. Just what they needed! Yet the problem was still not completely solved. You already have your hands full carrying so many kids “flying gadgets” and other stuff when flying with children. So giving parents one more thing to carry was not exactly ideal. Instead, with the help of great designers from Frost Product, and helpful people from Innovation Norway, they decided to make an aviation inspired, premium quality, ride-on suitcase, that is within carry-on dimensions. The whole thing was topped up with integrating a patented bed/leg-rest feature. It was named the BedBox and it became the perfect travel companion for children up to around 7 years. BedBox
