Thanks all for the responses - yes, the issue here I see is that my daughter will be 13 months old by the time we fly. LX website here https://www.swiss.com/ch/en/prepare/...ldren-on-board says age limit is 8 months and 11kg. She will be no where near 11kg, projected around 8kg at time of flying. Does anyone know how strict LX reinforces this?

Well unfortunately I still don't know how to book the bulkhead.
I understand I cannot use the bassinet. But I would like to book the bulkhead as it's easier when traveling with the kids.
I booked the tickets, could not reserve seats online - bulk head seats are blocked.
Called Swiss and they say they can't reserve bulk head unless using bassinet.
Is there no other options here? Traveling long haul is very stressful with two small kids so trying to plan as much as I can in advance thx

Everyone is telling you that you can't reserve the bulkhead. You best option will probably be OLCI at T-24 approximately (try earlier, not sure if you are connecting) if no one has booked the bassinet and you can hopefully book the bulkhead.

JetKids by Stokke or FlyTot when flying long haul on LX?
Hi all
Trying to plan ahead traveling with two kids 3 and 1 years old from ZRH-SFO. Looking for recent expereinces with anyone traveling on LX using a JetKids https://www.stokke.com/USA/en-us/tra...kids/5345.html or FlyTot https://www.fly-tot.com/
As we are flying Economy and not sure if we will get the bulkhead, trying to find something that will help the kids sleep or be more comfortable (at least the older one)
Any experiences would be appreciated.
Thank you

Neither are allowed on LH/LX/OS aircraft due to safety reasons. Kids that age manage nicely in regular economy seats since they have plenty of space... no need to carry on a leg rest.
