Brand Story
Pilar Bonilla
As much as I loved traveling to visit family and
friends abroad, my enthusiasm for it was waning
and I was beginning to despair. Neither my
husband or I were comfortable with traveling
without our kids, but the stress of traveling was
slowly burning us out.
Two Mothers With the Same Problem and the Same Goal!
We both decided we had had enough. We went online and tried
to search for a solution to this problem. We found places that
offered leg rest type of devices, but none of them seemed to be
exactly what we were looking for. Not only did they look
uncomfortable, but they all seemed to come in a one size fits all
model. None of the leg rests also talked about the quality of their
products or the longevity of them. We both decided that if the
product that we needed didn't exist then we would make one
that would. That's when the idea of AeroLax was born. Both of us
wanted to fly stress-free with our families and we figured we
weren't the only ones.
Michell Tam
I started to contemplate not working any longer
until my toddler Julie was older because the stress
of flying was getting to me and I hated how
uncomfortable Julie was every time we flew.
Business Proposition
AeroLax wants to partner with investors and owners of successful businesses
that provide comfort to mothers and their children that frequently fly and in
doing so create a massive new revenue stream for our partners and ourselves.
I love to travel, but it’s
painful to see my kids
suffering during the
plane ride because
they’re uncomfortable.
I wish to have a
relaxing journey that
all of us can enjoy.

Susan
A mother of three
Problem
Problem
In order to cut costs most airlines have been shrinking seats
and seat pitch. The average distance between rows of seats
has dropped from 89 cm’s in the 1970’s to a current average
of about 42 cm’s. Airlines have been slowly cutting down
legroom and seat width making passengers feel like sardines.
Families who frequently fly
with children suffer the most
Research has shown that there are over 40,000 long-haul
flights globally per day, over 87% of passenger travels in
economy & premium economy (or equivalent) class*. On
average 10 children from the ages of 2 to 12 years-old are
on board per flight**

Solution
Think of AeroLax as a traveling assistant for mothers.
The product itself is a portable inflatable leg rest made of high quality
material that is resilient to wear and tear making it a long-lasting
investment.
Most importantly, it offers invaluable help for mothers and their
children by allowing parents and their kids to put their legs up and
relax. If there’s a toddler along AeroLax inflates high enough so that
the toddler can fall asleep on it.
Also it:
Reduce swelling
Increases
circulation
Improves comfort
when seated
Supports legs to reduce muscle strain and fatigue
Optimizes personal space & Transforms to a toddler bed
AeroLax works for both adults and children in that it
provides adults and children a portable inflatable leg
rest that can easily be manipulated to their comfort.
Because AeroLax is portable and can be used over and
over again and is an inflatable product, when it's not
being used it's small enough to fit into a small bag or the
pocket of a carry-on.
Description
*Source Seatguru.com
AeroLax will not disrupt other passengers as it
easily inflates and deflates with a light-weighted
portable air pump.
It can be used on any airline (fit over 98% of
economy & premium economy seat*) as it is not
considered a banned item.
It’s a mother’s traveling assistant
Brand Promise
Traveling with kids while in economy class can make for a stressful flight. Especially if it's a long flight. Mothers no longer need to
question their sanity for attempting to fly with kids or start thinking of putting off flying until the kids get older.
Think of AeroLax is a mother’s traveling assistant. While the product itself is a portable inflatable leg rest it offers invaluable help for both
adults and children by allowing parents and their kids to put their legs up and relax. If they have a toddler with them, it inflates high
enough so that they can even fall asleep on it. These simple acts help take some of the stress away from parents and their children.

Target Audience
Many adults don't stop flying just because
they have children. More likely than not, if
you are someone who has been traveling for
a huge part of your life or have family in
other parts of the country or world, having
children isn't going to hinder you. What
happens in most instances is that once you
have children you start traveling economy
class.
