A Baby in an Overhead Airplane Cradle, early 1950s
If you have an issue with flying now, then you should try to imagine flying on a plane with a baby in the spot where the overhead luggage compartment would be. It gives new meaning to carry on problems because you’ll have to compete with mothers trying to find space for their babies to sleep.
The carry on space is just one of the problems with these “sky cots”, as turbulence is also a factor. It’s hard to imagine babies being comfortable while the plane runs into air pockets on its way to its destination.
