Does this really work sitting up &amp; would it work on an airplane? I would be buying it for a long flight &amp; want to make sure I can use it. Thank you!

I hope you haven't been waiting to long for an answer. I wanted to sit in my chair for a bit to give you an actual chair answer and not guess. After a half hour I could feel my back muscles stretching out a bit. I think the back of my chair is to puffy for a proper test. It seems to be pushing my head out a bit. Airplane chairs don't have that pillow so I think my answer would be yes, I think it would be good on a flight. As I am typing this, it does feel good whilst sitting up in a chair. I would suggest putting a towel or something on it when you use it. The foam feels weird. :)

I definitely think you could sit on this. I've used it to work out - sitting on it to lift weights, do sit ups, etc., and it works fine and hasn't lost air. my kids have even bounced on it a time or two (or three) and it hasn't popped. The only concern is getting it inflated correctly. the pump broke before I was even close to inflating it. I had to blow into it manually. So, I would say make sure you get an additional pump that has good reviews to use after the one that comes with the ball breaks.

Since I haven't tried taking it on an airplane I can't honestly answer that however I see no reason why it could not be stowed on an airplane. I definitely plan to take it with me wherever I fly. This chair has set me free! I LOVE it. Kat Man, if you have anymore questions regarding this chair, feel free to personally e-mail me...pianagirl1@gmail.com

Sorry, I only use for plane rides, and it works great for long hauls (5+ hours). It definitely makes plane rides bearable now, highly recommended.

My only concern might be is that the seat does not cover the entire cushion of an airplane seat. They make a larger version, look at the dimensions on the website. But, otherwise, I do not see why it would not work.

You can charge the DVD player while watching a movie, as long as you have a nearby socket. It works on trains and buses. Not sure about airplanes, never been on one, but it should work.

You could use it as a soft seat but it is a little bulky. It would have to be a long flight or you have something like hip pain to make it worthwhile. Have not tried to get it past TSA.

No don't try it -doesn't stay charged as long as you wish! If you could use it the airplane mode will be best to save usage hahaha! Hahaha! Hahaha!

I'm not sure what you mean, but when the seat is down it is "locked" open, and will not fold. If the seat is up it folds. When I check it on an airplane I use bungee cords to make sure it won't open in transit. Hope that helps.

I know this is late to the discussion, but it will help someone in the future. We traveled with that car seat and had no problems. It was difficult to get through security because they had to hand search it, and carrying a car seat onto the plane was bothersome, but the added safety is well worth it. Had no problems getting the car seat to fit once on the plane. Strapped my son in and he slept the either flight.

I would believe it would work well. It has a handle to carry it by, and sitting waiting for your plane to take off you could sit on it there as well.

Hi Jean! This back support would not work for airplane seats. The straps help stabilize the support in place especially since it's a 3-prong cushion. Hope this helps :)

I haven't used this on an airplane. This one might be a little too tall to fit under some airline seats as they seem to be getting smaller. But, it is a soft carrier so it would be easier to maneuver than a hard carrier. Sorry if that does't answer your question 100%.

This would work so well. While on the plane, coach bus or on the ferry- I didn't need to lean on the chair for support. I simply rested my chin on the third arm of the pillow and it was comfortable. The pillow comes with a flyer for several different positions you can use the pillow.

Sorry! Just checked and found that FAA sent out a memo to airlines saying that passengers should not be using personal seat extenders. In flight personnel have never commented on it or stopped me from using it.

Dear Gerhard B.,Did it actually work for you on the plane? I have a similar situation, where I want to connect a cooler for my medicine (12V) with an 110V outlet on an airliner for an international flight... I am wondering, if it will work or not.

I can't imagine is being good on a flight. It wouldn't work across your legs. The only way it would work is if you had one of those Jet Blue flights and got that front row of coach where you have extra floor space in front of you where you could put it on the floor. It's great on the floor.
