One of the main worries of mothers during long-haul flights was how to make the babies sleep.
Sydney mum Emma Lovell has invented a device which helps babies sleep during long-haul flights, according to a report in Daily Mail.
Emma's FlyBabee carrier pops up and provides a quiet and dark place for babies to sleep, the report said.
The FlyBabee can be used on planes or as a stroller cover. Now it's being stocked all over Australia and is shipped internationally
The Fly Babee is a bag that unzips and pops up, creating a covered bed for your baby that blocks out light and noise so they can sleep.

High School teacher Emma Lovell was flying back and forth from Sydney to the UK to care for her sick mum with five-month-old baby Aimee when she had the brilliant idea, the report said.
"She was an awesome flyer but couldn't sleep on the plane," Lovell told Daily Mail Australia. "So I would take a huge sheet and masking tape to try and create a tent around her. I found myself as the envy of other parents. It was crap but it was better than nothing."
Lovell looked online but couldn't find something made for babies travelling, so with the encouragement of her husband she decided to create her own.
She came up with FlyBabee, which can be used on planes or as a stroller cover when out and about.
"It means when they're on holiday, parents can go out to dinner and have their baby sleeping in the restaurant," the mum-of-two said.
The mum-of-two has even got distribution deals in Malaysia and Singapore, and is looking to expand internationally into the US and Europe.
As for sales, not only is the Flybabee selling well, customers are loving it, the report added.
