Yikes, sounds rough if the lid has to be on. Can't imagine the baby complying with that.

For a ten month old they won’t even fit in the bassinets, never mind enjoy it.

(We’re well past 20 flights with our 18 month old so have tried it all!)
I see...interesting that they set the weight limit so high if the bassinet is tiny.
