KeepEmQuiet.com is now the official and exclusive distributor for Plane Pal!
Plane Pal is a custom-designed inflatable cushion that fills the space on-board between your child’s seat and the seat in front.
Made from high-quality nylon, Plane Pal is light-weight, compact and is easy to inflate and deflate & comes with a handy portable hand pump for easy inflation.
Plane Pal has been tested under altitude pressure by a CASA certified aviation safety expert. Plane Pal has also been reviewed by the EASA & IATA and deemed safe for onboard use.
PLANE PAL - THE AIRPLANE SEAT EXTENDER
How does it work?
Plane Pal allows you to use the previously wasted space between your child’s seat and the seat in front. It creates a flat surface for your child to either extend their legs on to lay flat & sleep.

Instructions
Most airlines are happy to allow the safe use of Plane Pal as per our instructions:
- Plane Pal is to be used in the window seat or the middle seat in the centre rows
- Plane Pal is not to be used during take-off or landing
- The child's seatbelt remains fastened at all times (you can request an infant extender belt to help with this)
To Inflate
Remember: Plane Pal cannot be used during takeoff and landing as the aisles and exits must remain clear. Always follow any instructions given by the crew. Plane Pal is to be used where it will not obstruct other passengers.
STEP 1:
Once the captain has turned off the seat belt sign after take off, unpack your Plane Pal and pump. With the large valves fully open, stretch out and fully expand your Plane Pal. Plane Pal will inflate much faster if fully expanded.
Ensure that the Plane Pal’s smaller (clear) valves are open. The larger (black) valves should be closed for inflation. They ensure the air cannot escape while you are inflating Plane Pal.
STEP 2:
Before inflating, place Plane Pal on the floor in-between your child’s seat and the seat in-front.
Plane Pal can be used in three different ways depending on the amount of space in front of the seat. On a budget airline (with limited space) use Plane Pal upside-down. On an airline with more available space, use Plane Pal right-way-up. In a bulkhead or bassinet row, use Plane Pal right-way-up and turn lengthways.
Ensure the valves are placed on the aisle side so you can access them to inflate.
Plane Pal must be inflated to fill the space. DO NOT inflate it and attempt to squash it into the area.
PLANE PAL - THE AIRPLANE SEAT EXTENDER
Plane Pal allows you to use the previously wasted space between your child’s seat and the seat in front. It creates a flat surface for your child to either extend their legs on to lay flat & sleep.
STEP 3:
To begin inflating, connect the hose to the two-way pump, and connect the larger of the two adaptors to the other end of the hose. Ignore the pointy adaptor (it’s good for inflating toys for the pool, but not Plane Pal!).
Now plug the adaptor firmly into the black valve on the bottom section of Plane Pal. Using two hands fully extend and depress the pump. Plane Pal will start to inflate. Continue inflating until Plane Pal is firm, but has some give to provide comfort.
Repeat with the top section of Plane Pal. Once each section is inflated secure the clear valve plug.
You are now ready for your child to recline and snooze. Please remember to keep your child’s seatbelt fastened at all times in case of turbulence.
During extended long haul flights you may need to top up the air in your Plane Pal as changes in air pressure can cause contraction that decreases the volume of air.

We have twin 2 year olds, bought this full kit and the additional plane pal without the pump. Would highly recommend. Easy to inflate (I would definitely get the pump if you don’t already have a manual airbed pump). Our girls slept for the whole 8 hour flight (nighttime flight) and half of the 10hr flight there (morning flight). I even managed to lay down and have a nap across them as we had four seats in a row and the two pillows inbetween mine and my husbands seats. Was also great to provide space for the girls to get closer to the plane’s TV screen And to stop dummies/toys/snacks falling on the floor. I’m so happy I bought this and customer service was great!

We used the plane pal for our flight to the Philippines via Singapore for our 3 year old. He slept so well and was so comfortable. It’s very easy to use and light to carry.

Easy to carry with us (under our Yoyo pram) and inflate once we were on the plane. I followed the instructions that comes with it which are easy, inflating only 85% of it. I’d definitely recommend it to anyone doing long haul flights. My baby is 22 months and I know we’ll use this a lot

We loved the plane pal my three year old found it so comfortable and when she wasn’t sleeping it was a handy storage shelf for all her things from her ‘Keep em quiet pack’ would definitely recommend for long haul travel! Small and compact to fit in hand luggage, inflates quickly and deflates and packs away easily.

I travelled alone with my 3 year old on EasyJet l, and the PlanePal was wonderful. Unlike the bulky kids carry on case alternatives, it was light and slipped in my carry on bag. Not being a case also meant I could carry my hand luggage compatible stroller on board and stow in the overhead locker.
It took moments to inflate and he was super comfortable in his little baby business class flat bed!
The only negative is that I understand Emirates will not allow them to be used on board. If PlanePal could work with Emirates to allow them to be used it would be wonderful. But this is a fantastic product, and worth the money compared to cheaper alternatives.
