My youngest son and I traveled by airplane to Utah & Idaho last week. I have to tell you that flying by myself with a 3-year old--complete with car seat, stroller and bags is challenging. So, I'm sure you can imagine I don't add ANYTHING to the pile that I don't have to, ie doesn't benefit me greatly.
That said, I wouldn't travel without my Aston-Line wedges if you paid me... well, maybe if I was flying directly to get a few sessions with Judith Aston herself and you paid me ALOT of money...
Anyway, it's definitely worth the hassle of banging everyone in the aisle as we're the last people to board the plane and are seated in the LAST row--and I carry a sleeping toddler, my wedges, a carry-on bag, and bag o' snacks.
Without the wedges, I get a headache within about 5 minutes of being seated on the plane and my neck starts to ache, and then it just gets worse for the rest of the flight... and then Peter has to listen to me complain when I get home. With the wedges, I have a comfortable flight, can even sleep (provided toddler also sleeps), and can enjoy my family when I get home!
My newest innovation on this trip--I feel like a brilliant world traveler--I traveled with a large scarf/shawl and tied it around the wedges when getting on and off the plane. The wedges stayed together, bapped fewer people in the head, and stayed on my shoulder, AND when I sat down, I had a built-in blanket. :)
