Did we miss something on diversity?
Research shows a connection between kids' healthy self-esteem and positive portrayals in media. That's why we've added a new "Diverse Representations" section to our reviews that will be rolling out on an ongoing basis. You can help us help kids by suggesting a diversity update.

The parents' guide to what's in this app.
What Parents Need to Know
Parents need to know that Baby Airplanes - Airport City Adventures is a freemium app, offered for free with options for in-app purchases, that can include advertising inappropriate for the age range of kids the game targets. To unlock free content, such as additional colors for planes, kids must watch video ads that can include graphic excerpts from shows such as The Walking Dead and True Blood. Ads can be removed for $0.99, but even then, additional purchases are required to unlock all the content, with the fully unlocked, ad-free app totaling $4.99. Without the ads, the game is a reasonably fun exploration of air travel for younger kids.

What’s It About?
BABY AIRLINES - AIRPORT CITY ADVENTURES lets kids role-play working at an airport, doing jobs that require quite a lot of maintenance and cleaning up. They can work on the plane's exterior in the "Body Shop," painting it and adding accessories. They can fix the plane's mechanics in the "Fix the Plane" shop, and do maintenance of the cockpit in the "Flight Simulator." Then they can shop in the "Duty Free" shop and clean the plane before passengers board. More airport features -- the "Control Tower," "Lost & Found," "X-Ray," and "Check-In" require an in-app purchase to unlock.
Is It Any Good?
Once the ads are removed, Baby Airlines - Airport City Adventures is a pretty fun role-playing game for kids, though it quickly becomes repetitive once kids have visited each of the stops in the airport and is much more focused on tidying up than flying. Parents will have to unlock the Control Tower for kids to do any actual flying, and even then, it's the same experience over and over in each of the buildings at the airport. This ad-driven game can get quite pricey quickly but doesn't offer much content for the price.
