darn, just posted a reply and it got lost on me...anyway here goes again!

Amy - Are you flying with BA? If yes, they have the car-type seats available to use, which get securely strapped to the bassinet shelf. On my way to the UK, they only had one of the cot-style ones available so one of my 4-month old twins had to use the car-type ones. I would have preferred her to be flat really becuase I was concerned about her back for 12 hours in the other type, but they assured me that they had been tested for such use.

I would say for older babies they would be ideal as there is no restrictions to length. She actually slept in it quite well (better than I thought she would).

Hope this helps.
