So what about one of those Jetkid beds? Basically an extension of the seat so my little kid can sleep comfortably in an economy or premium economy seat? Flying longhaul Cathay and already ok it with them. Will be only installed in window seat with us occupying the seats next to it. Have a Hawaii trip lined up as well and will clear it with Hawaiian Air before hand. Not to be used during take off and landing.
Only asking to see if anyone will freak out if they see one. Face it, if the plane goes down. You've got more issues to deal with then stuff bouncing around the cabin.

You can call the airline or as per Air Canada's website which you should read, it is still PROHIBITED ; https://www.aircanada.com/ca/en/aco/...-children.html CX, BA etc can all run their airlines as they wish. Air Canada has its own rules. Be aware or be disappointed.

Maybe using the term "only the window seat pax can raise the safety issue" was a little unclear. Let try it again.
Anyone can raise the safety issue regarding the inflatable cube, however only the window seat pax has an actual safety issue. The flight attendant is within their right to tell pax not seated in the window to "mind their own business".

Possible, just as is the window passenger tripping over it and falling into the isle too.
Panic situations are chaotic. No, the passenger at the window is not the only one whose safety is affected.
There are many types of emergencies, not all of them are in the air. Aborted take offs, overruns, engine fires, landing gear failures and fires.....

The failure of the FAs to enforce compliance was a breach of duty. If one is serious about correcting the deviant behavior, send the observation to Transport Canada's Cabin Safety unit, with a copy to Air Canada legal department . I guarantee that there will be immediate corrective action. Don't bother with the customer service people: They most likely won't understand the safety issue.
I would not be so sure about Customer Solutions. My past experience with them has been OK. Sending a brief complaint mentioning the flight number and date, seat number etc. and quoting the regulations might very well lead to some action. However don't expect detailed feedback, at the end of the day enforcement is an internal AC matter.

A safety issue is a safety issue. It can be raised by any passenger, air crew, ground crew or even the person who fills up the ice bucket.

Exactly. I really don’t get the passive aggressive approach on doing and saying nothing on the flight, yet so upset about to post a new thread on FT bemoaning the fact FAs don’t enforce carry on bag stowage rules.

I've forwarded the details of this incident to Air Canada. Hopefully they can remind their flight crews of their job more effectively than a passenger can.
You're free to argue with low level staff until you're blue in the face. It's not my cup of tea.
