Any advice on which would be better plane wise and destination wise. Hi Heather! Whether you can bring the chariot depends on your airline. I saw parents with the huge bike trailer strollers on JetBlue and no one batted an eye. Worst case scenario is they make you check it as baggage, which kinda would be the worst case scenario.
Air Canada has a similar weight limit, which my stroller excited by a couple of pounds, and it was never weighed. I will be traveling alone with 2 small children, one is 2. Actually, I would have to put baby down to fold up any stroller, umbrella or gigantic. Baby is also quite heavy and so keeping her in my Beco carrier too much is not an option. Plus I can already envision my 2. I will have the Beco with me but really, really feel like I need a stroller to keep things under control. Any suggestions on helping me keep this from being a travel nightmare?
Sorry but I did a little chuckle at your description of your son cackling as he runs away from you! So for American airlines you can not take a jogging stroller at all?? It weighs maybe 22 lbs, but I thought that even thought it weighed more than the limit it can be checked at the gate and put under the plane!
This will be my first trip ever with my little boy. So I am just asking questions just to be sure. I wanted to buy a new one but my son did not like it he was very uncomfortable when I placed him in it and he started to cry. Once I put him back in his original stroller he was happy. Oh gosh I guess I will have to buy a new one. I hope not! I am travelling from Toronto to Delhi, India with Jet airways and it is my first time traveling with my 5 month old infant.
I have 2 questions, if you can kindly help me please. I was wondering if I can bring both my Uppa Cruz stroller and my Graco car seat? My daughter is traveling on my lap in jet airways. That is indeed a very long flight. Good luck!! Would this be considered one piece , or two? Do you think they will check it at the gate? Should I be worried about it being damaged? Ps — I plan on her sitting with me in my seat in the plane , and will bring her ergo baby carrier.
Hi Krysten! They will tag your car seat and stroller separately, and you should have no issue in gate checking both. Our Vista flew several times but was damaged after one flight when the foot rest was used to lift it by the baggage handlers.
If you bite the bullet and get a carry bag that should remedy that situation. If at all possible, a padded bag to gate check your car seat would be a good investment as well. Air Canada still I think offers family pre-boarding, so your best bet would be to wear your daughter in the Ergo when boarding, that way your hands will be free to fold your stroller frame and prep your car seat for gate checking.
I looked into purchasing the travel bag uppa makes for Vista — and was pleased to see that they offer a flying damage insurance if you simply register the travel bag. Im wondering if perhaps it would be easiest for me to bring my rumble seat instead of car seat , and the frame — as it could easily be folded as one piece and stored in the travel bag for gate checking.
That sounds like the best solution, especially if your parents can source you a car seat to use. Have a great trip!! I used to rent stollers. This is the great option for traveling with a stroller on a plane and pack light weight carrier.
What is when you are flying with twins alone with 2 car seats and a double stroller britax b ready with American Airlines? I mean a double stroller weighs more then 20 pounds. Hi Karolina! Great article, very helpful. When disembarking they sent the stroller to baggage claim, leaving my wife and I to carry our personal items, carry-ons, and a once sleeping 1 year old now quite fussy after the trans-Atlantic flight. Coming into Schiphol, we had to walk about min like this, before we found the stroller not at regular baggage claim, but underneath ski equipment in the oddly shaped baggage section.
I have a steelcraft strider compact which is way too big to take all over america with us for four weeks so we are looking at purchasing a smaller stroller. Any suggestions? Something we can gate check or would fit in overheads.
I will be with my husband and 8 month old son. I also have the ergo carrier which my son loves and will be using that a lot. Any advice would be appreciated as this is my first time traveling internationally and traveling with an infant.
Folds down small but has full recline and sun shade so baby could nap no problem. Hi, I am planning to travel by mid September to Mexico. Our first time traveling. My daughter will be 1. Thank you. Hi Brenda! You should be able to gate-check her car seat and the stroller no problem. I recommend purchasing a padded travel bag to protect the car seat. Have a great flight! Would we have any trouble leaving this at the gate?
I would double check by calling the airline. Hi Winvy! Unless Cathay Pacific has specific dimensions listed for their gate-checked strollers, you should be ok.
Hi Julia! I was so happy to see this post! I have a Bugaboo stroller 2 pieces -ugh! According to their policy I have to check the stroller and it counts towards 1 piece of luggage. Do I pay to check it at the same time we pay for our checked bags — then take it to the gate? Or do I have to leave it at the counter when we drop off the rest of our luggage? If for example we take it to the gate could they refuse it at that point?
All this should be cleared with the gate agent. In spite of what the rules posted are, I still see families gate-checking strollers that fold down into two pieces. Usually the gate agent offers two tags, so each piece can be tagged. How old is your baby?
If he or she still rides around in their convertible car seat, could you bring that if it attaches to the stroller frame? Both should be able to be gate-checked no problem. Very helpful post, thank you. My question is if gate checking a stroller means you do not pay an additional luggage fee. I am soon traveling with Lufthansa and I understand I can gate check but is there an associated cost?
Hi Amanda! Typically airlines allow you to gate check at least one baby item free of charge. You can double check with Lufthansa before your flight to be sure. Have a great trip! Hi Indhu! Depending on the airline, you should be able to gate-check your stroller regardless of size. Do you know about Atlas airlines stroller policy for gate check??
Please help! Ours is an uppababy cruz. Hi Lee! Best of luck and let us know how it goes! Hi, I will be travelling with my 7 month old from India to canada.
I will be travelling by jet Airways and air Canada. I want to know if they provide milk on flight. Secondly my final destination is edmonton. At Toronto Airport, i will be collecting my luggage for connecting flight to Edmonton. I want to know, will there be any help provided to pick my luggage as I will be having stroller for my baby. It will be difficult to push s stroller and trolly with luggage. I have also requested wheelchair si that I could get some help with my luggage.
Hi Aahiya! I would check with the airline to see if they provide milk. To be on the safe side, I would travel with the formula you usually give your baby.
An option for getting around with baby and luggage cart is to bring along a soft carrier or sling, and then wear your baby and put your folded stroller onto the trolley with the rest of your stuff. Being a parent, especially a mom, is not all that easy and buying a compact stroller is like giving yourself a gift to help cope when you have to travel.
Now, after thoroughly examining all the qualities of the listed compact strollers, the BabyZen Yoyo stroller is our top pick for traveling on an airplane. The Yoyo stroller is an ultra-compact stroller that becomes really small when folded, which is a quality that makes it perfect.
If you think of travel, this is your stroller. In fact, it compacts so well that it is hard to find any other stroller that reduces to that size when compacted. All types of strollers are allowed on planes but a compact stroller is the best option for air travel.
That way, you are able to avoid wasting precious time and get going immediately instead of waiting at the baggage claim to pick it up at the carousel after you land. Other kinds of strollers will have to be checked at the gate and are not permitted as carry-on baggage. Note: Most airlines will deliver strollers down very few airlines bring back your stroller to the aircraft door. You should check what luggage dimensions the airline you plan to use allows, because airline allowances on cabin baggage may be different.
Like us, they even recommend the YOYO stroller! Parents usually have a lot going on when traveling with a baby. Handling everything and a baby could be quite a task, so, go for a one-hand foldable stroller and a baby carrier to make things easier.
That way, your hands are free to do other things. Look for a lightweight stroller. When traveling with a baby, there is usually so much to carry at once. Choosing a light baby stroller will make a difference and reduce the weight of all you have to carry. You should also check the types of materials used to make them so that you can assess how durable it will be. No, there is no need. There are brands that are good and inexpensive. JetBlue assumes no liability for loss, damage or delay.
You can check these items with your other baggage, or wait until you reach the gate area. You may also check these items at the gate. Strollers are free to check, they may be checked at the gate using a claim-at-gate tag, if preferred. There is no charge for checking or gate checking one stroller per fare-paying passenger. Gate checked strollers will be stowed in the cargo hold of the aircraft during the flight and delivered to the gate or passenger loading bridge upon arrival at your destination.
Virgin America will not assume liability or responsibility for fragile or unsuitably packaged items, including strollers. Submit a comment Cancel reply Your email address will not be published. This policy extends to every type and size of stroller umbrella, jogging, full size.
Strollers may be checked at the curb, ticket counter or gate. Spirit Spirit permits one stroller per child to be checked free of charge, as well as a double stroller for two children. United United permits a stroller or foldable wagon to be checked free of charge for each child at the ticket counter or gate. Small, collapsible strollers can be brought on board free of charge and stowed in the overhead compartments.
In general, emergency exit aisles are prohibited, one car seat per row is allowed, and all special accommodations are left to the discretion of in-flight crew members. Car seats must be FAA-approved if they are to be used in-flight check for red lettering on the seat itself to see if it meets approval.
Car seats made for use in the U. Alaska When flying with Alaska you can travel with your car seat free of charge as checked baggage. Car seats can be checked at the gate or with your regular checked baggage at the ticket counter. If you choose to buy a seat for your infant, please make sure the car seat you bring is FAA-approved. If you have not purchased a separate seat but there is an open seat next to you, a lap infant may sit in a car seat free of charge.
To carry on a safety seat, you must have purchased a seat for your child or a free seat must be available next to yours. If there is not an empty seat next to you, a flight attendant will check the car seat to your final destination.
Delta Delta also allows parents traveling with a lap infant to take advantage of empty seats when they have am FAA-approved car seat. If a seat is not free, the flight attendants will check your car seat through to your final destination.
Frontier FAA-approved car seats can be used when you have purchased a seat for your child. Car seats cannot be placed in emergency exit rows, in the rows directly in front or behind of emergency exit rows, or in the very first row. Frontier also suggests placing car seats in window seats so they do not impede access to the aisle by other passengers.
