I'm a former Flight Attendant and I fly a lot with my children.
Please save your money. I just don't see the point of this product.
If you have a separate seat for your baby, please bring your car seat and use it on board. This is actually the only safe way to fly with a baby. Also, experience speaking, it is much more comfortable.
Some airlines provide bassinets for lap-held babies but they are no replacement for a car seat as far as safety is concerned. Never leave a baby sleeping alone in one and often, you have to remove your baby in turbulence. With a car seat, your child can stay sleeping.
Also never check a car seat in as luggage. If you need your car seat at your destination, and your baby is in your lap, see if you can get an extra empty seat to use your car seat in. If not, be sure to gate-check your car seat at the door of the plane. Not a guarantee but there is less chance that your car seat could be lost and/or broken en route. While flying itself is really safe, too many car seats get thrown around, crack and get sent to the wrong city. That's actually more of a risk!
But every once in awhile, contraptions are sold to supposedly make flying with a baby easier. Most are not recommended for take-off and landing. The other contraption that hangs the baby off the tray table hook actually looks worse! Half of those hooks don't even hold the tray table too well, let alone a baby! That image is making the rounds on parent and travel sites and getting some good laughs!
But seriously, when you fly with a baby, you want to only bring what you absolutely need. Any extra space should be for more diapers (boy do parents often run out of those!!) A bulky item like this is definitely not what you need to drag on board!
The only gizmo I can recommend is bringing a baby carrier. They are convenient in the airport and magic for calming babies inflight. A good baby carrier should go to age 2 or 3 (fiddly front packs like the Bjorn are not recommended since they aren't good for the parents' and child's backs).
Remember that if you don't have your car seat on board, be sure your baby is loose in your lap for take-off and landing for his safety.
For more information, nine years ago I wrote an article on this subject. It's based on both my personal and professional experience of flying with children. It's totally non-commercial and other parents from around the world have contributed. There's a whole section on getting car seats through airports;
