TO INFLATE

Remember: Plane Pal cannot be used during takeoff and landing as the aisles and exits must remain clear. Always follow any instruction given by the crew. Plane Pal is to be used where it will not obstruct other passengers.

STEP 1:

Once the captain has turned off the seat belt sign after take off, unpack your Plane Pal and pump. With the large valves fully open, stretch out and fully expand your Plane Pal. Plane Pal will inflate much faster if fully expanded.

Ensure that the Plane Pal’s smaller (clear) valves are open. The larger (black) valves should be closed for inflation. They ensure the air cannot escape while you are inflating Plane Pal.

Step 1

STEP 2:

Before inflating, place Plane Pal on the floor in-between your child’s seat and the seat in- front.

Plane Pal can be used in three different ways depending on the amount of space in front of the seat. On a budget airline (with limited space) use Plane Pal upside-down. On an airline with more available space, use Plane Pal right-way-up. In a bulkhead or bassinet row, use Plane Pal right-way-up and turn lengthways.

Step 2

Ensure the valves are placed on the aisle side so you can access them to inflate.

Plane Pal must be inflated to fill the space. DO NOT inflate it and attempt to squash it into the area.

STEP 3:

To begin inflating, connect the hose to the two-way pump, and connect the larger of the two adaptors to the other end of the hose. Ignore the pointy adaptor (it’s good for inflating toys for the pool, but not Plane Pal!).

Step 3

Now plug the adaptor firmly into the black valve on the bottom section of Plane Pal. Using two hands fully extend and depress the pump. Plane Pal will start to inflate. Continue inflating until Plane Pal is firm, but has some give to provide comfort.

Repeat with the top section of Plane Pal. Once each section is inflated secure the clear valve plug.

You are now ready for your child to recline and snooze. Please remember to keep your child’s seatbelt fastened at all times in case of turbulence.

During extended long haul flights you may need to top up the air in your Plane Pal as changes in air pressure can cause contraction that decreases the volume of air.

TO DEFLATE

For safety, Plane Pal is fitted with rapid deflate valves. Simply pull the larger black valves open and apply pressure to the top of Plane Pal. Once the valve is pulled, Plane Pal will deflate in a matter of seconds.

To pack Plane Pal away simply roll it up starting at the end with no valves. Once rolled secure with the velcro strap and place inside your Plane Pal bag.

Deflate

CARE

Clean Plane Pal with a soft, damp cloth. Do not immerse in water, or machine wash, or tumble dry. Do not use chemicals to clean Plane Pal. Should Plane Pal receive a puncture, discontinue use immediately.

WARNING

Plane Pal is not a toy. Use under direct supervision. Do not use as a flotation device. Do not jump onto Plane Pal. Take care to avoid sharp objects when you open, pack, store and inflate. Do not over inflate Plane Pal.

To avoid disappointment: please inflate the Plane Pal at home prior to travel as soon as you receive it - so that if there is a fault/puncture (less than 1% of the time) you will know about it before you attempt to use it onboard and we can send a replacement.

Only ever inflate your Plane Pal to around 85% - it's not supposed to be inflated to the point where it's very tight and not possible to get more air in, that would mean it's over inflated and could cause it to split.
