Maliton Airplane Footrest, Inflatable Foot Rest for Kids (Darkgrey, 1 Pack)

Got this one in order to accomodate kids better on longer flights and it works like a charm! To know: 1. Quite easy to inflate and deflate. Although it take a bit of good squeezing in order to get all the air out, otherwise it occupies more space. 2. Fully inflated makes a perfect extension to an airplane chair so kids can stretch and even sleep on it as if it was all one big chair. 3. Quite pleasant cover material, not just a slippery shiny plastic or rubber. Yes, this makes potential cleaning (if needed) slightly more time consuming but I'd prefer the way it is over a simple plastic cover. 4. Size and weight. Well packed it does not take too much space, relatively. But you can't name it invisible or "weighting nothing" either :). If you pack up to precision up to grams in terms of weight or have just a backpack - this pillow will take both some space and weight, so you'll need to account for it. In general, it versatile, comfortable and in my opinion really great value for the money, as a single more comfortable flight makes it already feel like "yes, worth it". Hope it helps, cheers!

As a parent who recently experienced the joy of using this product on several flights with our 6-year-old, I can confidently say the Maliton Airplane Footrest is a must-have for family travel. This ingenious inflatable footrest transforms a standard airplane seat into a cozy haven for kids, making long flights infinitely more comfortable and enjoyable. The dual-valve design is a standout feature, allowing for quick inflation and deflation without disturbing fellow passengers. We appreciated how easily it could be adjusted to three different heights, accommodating our child's needs perfectly. The durable PVC flocking material felt soft and comfortable, without any unpleasant plastic odors. What truly impressed us was its versatility. Not only did it serve as a footrest, but it also doubled as a makeshift bed, allowing our little one to stretch out and actually sleep during the flight - a parent's dream come true! The compact size when deflated made it a breeze to carry, taking up minimal space in our carry-on. While it's primarily marketed for kids, we found it equally useful for adults needing extra leg support. It's worth noting that some airlines may have restrictions, so it's wise to check in advance. Overall, the Maliton Airplane Footrest has earned its place as an essential item in our travel kit. It significantly improved our family's flying experience, turning potentially stressful journeys into comfortable adventures. For families with young children or anyone seeking extra comfort during travels, this product is an absolute game-changer. Our recent flights were transformed from endurance tests to enjoyable experiences, thanks to this clever and practical travel accessory.

I was initially uncertain if this inflatable footrest will be of any use at all. I said to myself that I would write a review if I found it useful. Here I am, after two very long 20+ hour flights, eager to write this review. To give you some background, I've always found long flights in economy class very uncomfortable, with my feet swelling up and legs feeling heavy like logs. I also find it difficult to sleep for longer than a few minutes on the plane. I keep fidgeting, trying to adjust my position constantly. This footrest was such a game changer! After using this on my recent two 20+ hour long flights (in combination with a foot hammock), there was no foot swelling at all! And what's more, I could catch a few winks as well, as my feet felt more comfortable. Pros: It is quite easy to use. It inflates easily, as it has got large valves. It also deflates easily, within seconds. I wasn't sure if the airline would allow a manual balloon blower device, so I just inflated it by mouth, which took just a couple of minutes. There are 2 valves, one inflates it to 1/3 rd of the size, the second valve inflates the other 2/3rd. You can choose to inflate only 1/3rd of the foot rest to rest your feet, or inflate the other 2/3rd to raise it a bit higher to rest your ankles or calves, or inflate fully to bring it up to almost your seat height. This extends the seat depth and it is easier to sit cross-legged if you prefer or useful for children to stretch their legs and sleep. I shared it with my husband on the long flight, who also found it very comfortable. It is light weight and easy to fold and pack away after use. It easily fits into a backpack, ideal to carry in your cabin bag. There is a handy bag to store it in. Cons: When inflated fully, it is quite tight and difficult to fit into the leg space in the economy section. That is the only tricky aspect. Also, some airlines may not allow the inflatable footrest on aisle seats or other seats where it may pose a hazard to other passengers' passage. However, if you are travelling with family and have a window seat or a middle seat, it should not be a problem. Also, if you have paid for a seat with extra leg room, the inflatable footrest fits in easily in the space, even when fully inflated. Finally, the footrest is ideal for economy travel, considering this is as comfortable as you can get in an economy seat. I shall be using it in all my future long flights, along with a foot hammock.

Used this on a recent BA long haul economy flight to help our toddler sleep. On our outbound journey we didn't use this and regretted it. On the return we did and even though he didn't always put his feet on it we were glad it was there as it clearly helped him get more comfortable and stopped him falling off the seat when he was awake too It fit the gap between the seat in front and my child's seat perfectly, without affecting other passengers' ability to recline. It's inflated by mouth (there's no integrated foot pump as on similar products) but has an extra large valve so this only takes a few breaths. It's easily inflated in 30s or so before cabin crew notice what you are up to. Be aware this isn't allowed on most airlines so you are buying this in the knowledge that you are using this at your own risk and that cabin crew might ask you to deflate it. My suggestion would be to use it discreetly in a window seat where it is causing no obstruction and is less likely to be noticed. Consider covering it with a hoodie or the airline's supplied blanket. It absolutely helped our toddler flying once we worked out how to actually get him asleep!

Just what we wanted. We were visiting relatives and needed a foot rest , these were ideal as they can be deflated and put away.

We bought this inflatable travel foot rest mainly for use on a long-haul economy flight. While it was allowed on board and did provide some extra comfort, actually inflating it was a real challenge. It took a lot of effort and energy to get it to full capacity, and using it at only 25–50% inflated wasn’t very comfortable. The material itself feels durable and soft, and the adjustable height is a good feature. However, I really think this product would benefit from coming with a small pump, as blowing it up manually on the plane was not ideal. However, it was light to carry and comes with a pouch so doesn't take up too much space. Overall, it’s a good concept and could work better with the right preparation, but as it stands, it was more effort than expected to get real use out of it.

Positive review of this item Maliton Airplane Footrest, Inflatable Foot Rest for Kids, Adjustable Height Travel Pillow On Airplanes, Cars, Travel, Office, but did not had a chance to use it just test it. Here is a positive review of the Maliton Airplane Footrest based on initial testing, even though you haven’t yet had a chance to use it on a trip. After unboxing and testing the Maliton Airplane Footrest, I am very impressed with its design and functionality. The inflatable construction makes it extremely portable it packs down to a compact size and adds almost no bulk to my luggage, which is a huge plus for frequent travelers. Setting it up was a breeze: inflation took just a few minutes, and the large nozzle made it easy to blow up by mouth without getting lightheaded. The adjustable height feature is a standout, allowing me to configure it as a single, double, or triple layer depending on my child’s needs, which should offer versatile comfort on long flights, car rides, or even at home. The materials feel durable and well-made, and the product’s overall build quality inspires confidence that it will last through many trips. While I haven’t yet used it on an actual journey, my test run showed that it provides a stable, comfortable surface for my child’s legs and could easily double as a mini-bed or headrest in a pinch. Plus, the ease of deflating and repacking means it won’t be a hassle to take along. I did notice a slight plastic smell upon opening, but airing it out for a short while resolved this an easy fix for a minor issue. Overall, for the price and convenience, this footrest is a fantastic travel accessory, and I’m confident it will make our next trip much more comfortable for my child.

Deflates after 5 minutes, useless.

Good product. Befor buying it make sure it is allowed on the airline. It wasnt allowed on Turkish Airline so i used it in my car

Its difficult to position the inflated pillow. Therefore will have to position it before inflating. It's a little challenging to inflat with mouth when pillow is in position.

Because i thought it is double. But i received only one. It is too much cost.

Super handig op het vliegtuig met kleine kinderen. Gebruikt voor onze tweejarige peuter en die kon lekker onderuit liggen op zijn stoel.

We bought this for our overseas trip with our son. This is really useful and comfortable. My son slept well because he was able to stretch his legs like he is sleeping on the bed. The materials used are really nice.
