This unusual photo from the 1950s offers a nostalgic look back at the way newborns were transported on airplanes back then. Contrary to present practice, parents would frequently attach a small bassinet to the seat in front of them so that their infants could sleep soundly the entire voyage. Babies had a nice place to sleep and play in the bassinet, which was suspended from the seat to ensure their safety and comfort during the flight.
The picture perfectly illustrates the ease of that time period’s air travel, complete with families dressed elegantly and attentive flight attendants. It recalls a time when flying was regarded as a lavish and elite activity. This picture serves as a reminder of how far travel and aviation standards have advanced.
