Was it more length that was the issue as she's around the 80th percentile for length (unfortunately!)
Yep it’s the size. They’re also very particular about not allowing infants to sit in the bassinet so our boy, although he could sit but couldn’t lie down in it, wasn’t allowed to sit in there when seatbelt signs were off. In the end we used the bassinet as storage for bags/toys during the long haul flight.
