Rebuff those recliners

Tall people, laptop users, travelers with children, and anyone who wants to preserve his or her sliver of space in an airplane may appreciate Knee Defenders from a company called Right Brain. These clever yet simple plastic gadgets hook onto the arms of your tray table and prevent the seat in front of you from reclining. This protects your legs or laptop from being squashed and gives you a little extra room to stretch. You can adjust the amount the seat reclines and also provide your fellow passenger with a kindly worded Knee Defender Courtesy Card, which explains what the device is and how you are using it.
