Going on holiday

Hi Louise

And Welcome on forum. I myself support up with cushions. From my last flight I was sat near a family of five. each parent had two smaller kids on knee with an extra belt at take off. Not ideal for whole trip as comfort and posture support is important. Asking on the links might be helpful. Ask your airline if they have a travelchair like the link below.
