Velivolo — The Family Travel App
Our Story

The only app designed exclusively for parents flying with young children

Velivolo was built with a simple belief: no parent should have to spend hours researching the logistics and crowdsourcing information before flying with kids.

From the founder

It started with Facebook Groups

Family travel shouldn't require hours of research to decode a single airline's policy. But for years, I watched parents ask the same questions again and again — Can I bring formula through TSA? Will my car seat fit in this seat? Will the airline actually seat me next to my child?

These are the right questions. The problem was the answers.

Parents were getting a flood of conflicting information from forums, comment sections, and well-meaning strangers — often leaving them more confused, and sometimes worse off, than before they asked.

I built Velivolo to be the definitive resource for families who fly. As a certified CPST with credentials in the US, Canada, UK, and Australia and frequent flyer mom, I combined my expertise with technology to give every parent instant access to verified airline policies, trusted gear recommendations, and expert consultations.

Our Mission

No parent should spend hours Googling whether their airline will sit them next to their child

We exist to give every traveling family instant access to verified, expert-reviewed information — so you can focus on the adventure, not the anxiety.

Safety first

Every tip aligns with ICAO recommendations, FAA guidelines and is CPST-approved. We never guess.

Parent-tested

Real families road-test our advice before it goes live. If it doesn't work at the gate, it isn't included in our Marketplace.

Always current

Airlines change policies constantly. We monitor and update within 24 hours of any change.

Expert-verified

Our team of vetted Travel Experts cross-check every tip and inspiration entry before publication.

Our Process

How we verify every policy

We don't scrape. We don't guess. Every data point goes through a 4-step verification process.

01

Airline source

We pull directly from official airline policy documents, contacting carrier support when documentation is ambiguous.

02

Team review

Two team members independently verify every data point. Discrepancies trigger a deeper investigation.

03

CPST cross-check

A certified Child Passenger Safety Technician reviews for safety implications and compatibility nuances.

04

Published & monitored

Verified policies go live and enter our monitoring pipeline. When airlines change policies, we update within 24 hours.

Radical transparency: If we can't verify something, we say so. You'll see “Unverified” labels on any policy where our confidence is below 95%.
