(also comes in pink, but I liked that photo better as it's got "our" giraffe in it!)
Note also that the SQ bassinettes seemed to be far bigger than the ones on BA and had a great mechanism to stop the baby from escaping
The age limitation on these things is that you shouldn't use them after the baby can sit up unaided, presumably as they could then roll or flop out onto the floor. That's going to be the case with any low-sided item without some kind of strapping in mechanism though, so you'll just have to make a judgement call on that one (and presumably not both sleep at the same time as the baby).
We had one of these for the LO and it was great - although never used it on a plane as we were only going SH not LH. Very portable and easy, and light too.
They do make a larger version for 6months plus, but we haven't tried that one.
