When i was flying from hong kong to london i met a brave mother who was travelling alone with her two kids - one 3 yr old, the other 7 months. I noticed the way she set up her inflight cot. One of the safety straps by the head of the cot was left undone because it retricted her baby's movement, and also it got in the way of her interacting with her child. Needless to say the safety of the baby was comprised but in the eyes of the mother, it was worth it. This is a fine example of a poorly designed piece of furniture. May be between the cot and the table there should have some kind of interlock, may be the table should fold out as a cot. Whatever the solution is, there's gotta be a better way.
