Hijacking the thread a little bit ... generally for J bassinets, will 17-18mth olds even fit? First child and first long haul flight, so no idea what to expect.
Google says that (i) "A bassinet measures 76.20cm (30″) x 38.10cm (15″) x 20.32cm (8″) and can carry up to 12kgs." and (ii) "Average height of an 18-month-old is 31.8 inches for girls and 32.4 inches for boys." ... so if the toddler doesn't fit in the bassinet, does it fall to the parents to carry him/her for the entire flight?
