How does Nuvaloo work?
Eye masks come off. Blanket forts fall down. Nuvaloo stays up.
Shuts out distractions
Screens, passengers, and movement stay outside. Calm stays in.
Passengers, carts and aisle traffic stay out of view, so there’s less to wake them once they’re asleep.
Feels like home
Recreates the quiet, dark conditions your child already knows — so sleep comes naturally.
The blackout, breathable fabric dims the cabin to near-dark — a natural melatonin boost that signals your child’s body it’s time to sleep.
Soft blackout shell dims the cabin to near-dark — a natural melatonin boost that signals your child’s body it’s time to sleep.
Controls the light
Forward-facing pairs with a seat extender. Side-facing skips it entirely and works on any seat, window, middle, or aisle.
Built for any seat
Forward-facing pairs with a seat extender. Side-facing skips it entirely and works on any seat, window, middle, or aisle.
The same dark, quiet setup they already sleep in at home. Put their white noise machine in the outside pocket, and bedtime works the way it does at home.
Less light. Less to look at. Fewer wake-ups between takeoff and landing. So your trip starts with a rested kid at grandma’s door, not a meltdown at baggage claim.
Land with a kid who slept.

Built by a mom with over 150 flights
I’m Ceci, an aerospace engineer and mom of two. After 150+ flights, I built the thing I couldn’t find.
Nuvaloo started on a long-haul flight, after one too many collapsing blanket forts. I built something sturdier, slipped my 10-month-old inside, and watched him sleep for nine hours straight, through meal service, through the lights, through all of it.
That flight changed how we travel. Nuvaloo is that idea, refined so it can work for your family too.

Nuvaloo is safe, simple & welcome on board
We designed Nuvaloo to fly under the radar — no installation, no negotiating with the crew, no bothering the people around you.
AIRLINE-FRIENDLY BY DESIGN
Child stays buckled. The airplane's own seatbelt runs right through the nest, securing them exactly as the airline intends.
Child stays visible. A glance is all it takes to check on them.
It breathes. Breathable materials and cross-air ventilation keep airflow moving, so the space stays fresh and comfortable.
Never modifies the seat. Nothing to clip, clamp, or undo.
Flight attendant-approved. No blocking the aisle, no obstructing the row, no spilling into your neighbor’s space.
BUILT FOR REAL TRAVEL
Lightweight and compact Weighs under 1 pound, sets up in seconds, and packs down to 13 inches — small enough to fit in your backpack.
Built-in sound machine pocket. Because darkness is only half the equation.
Lightly padded cotton base. Soft for your child, and a clean barrier between them and whatever's on that airplane seat.
Grows with your child. Forward-facing or side-facing — and since side-facing never needs a footrest, it works in any seat, at any age.
