Thanks for the great info! I have always rented strollers and gear at my final destination point and put my little one in a carrier or back pack carrier through the airport.. We are travelling united from yvr thru ord to mco. We have a 3 year old and a 1 month old.
The quandry is whether to rent a stroller for wdw, or, bring our own. And if we bring our own, should it be the bob, or the joovy double strollr? The bob when folded and wheels off fit this. Bring the Bob. Of course you can rent strollers there — not sure on prices. The ones Disney rents at the park would be a decent ride for your toddler but not appropriate for the baby.
We have travelled extensively in Europe with our three children, and i would like to suggest if you are going to Europe, or will be travelling within Europe, that you take the smallest umbrella stoller you can find, that can recline for when baby falls asleep.
I even met a mother on the plane who had no stroller at the gate for baby and had a 8 hour wait between flights… and a toddler. We have had this problem with reputable airlines, in France, Spain, and Germany… the exception for us has always been KLM which is very family -friendly. In three years of travelling back and forth to Canada with them we never had a problem.
Hope that helps. I have definitely heard this about Heathrow, and the pre-board is hit and miss with pretty much every airline these days! So glad I ran into this post! We are flying twice this summer with our son who will be 16 and 17 mos while traveling.
Good luck! Sorry I just saw this comment now! Also, if there is an extra seat on board, they will likely make you pay for it. Thanks for this. Have anyone use this stroller using gate check-in going to Orlando with no problem and damage to the stroller. I have two small children and going to Disney World for sure would need this stroller as renting at Disney is soooo expensive and kids will not last long with so much walking. Any advice is greatly appreciated on what is the best way to take along this stroller.
Also I was thinking of purchasing the double stroller bag from J. L Childress, would you recommend to buy this and use it?
Have anyone have experience with the stroller bag or can recommend one for double stroller City mini. The City Mini is remarkably compact especially when folded for a double stroller, but it is entirely up to the airline if they will allow you to gate check it.
I will be traveling alone with my 2 children 1. I M trying to decide if I am going to bring my single Britax Bagile or my baby trend double jogger.
I have already called the airline United and they said it was fine to gate check either. My concern is fitting the double jogger through the jetway door and other does throughout the airport. Hi Sandra! The jetway is fairly wide, so your double stroller should not be too much of an issue.
Airports are fully accessible, so doorways are typically larger to accommodate wheelchairs and other mobility devices. So even though your double jogger might be wide, you should be ok. Another option if your 3. Hope this helps! Take care, Corinne. Would you recommend that I bring my umbrella stroller AND mec backpack carrier? I was hoping to get away with gate checking them both. Any thoughts? It would certainly be handy to have access to both, but not if the hassle of transport would outweigh the benefit!
Thanks for the reply! Does that class as fully collapsible? What are the views on what it counts as? Hi Ali! Double check with your airline just to be on the safe side…. You have no idea what the history is on the seat. No way of knowing whether it was replaced after a collision, no way of knowing whether the straps have been washed, no way of knowing whether it was dropped down a 20 foot flight of stairs etc. Thanks so much for the info!!! We are travelling for the first time with our 23mnth old and I was in limbo about the rent verses bringing a car seat and stroller.
I will be flying from Seattle to Houston with my 3 month old daughter. I will be bringing my baby jogger city mini and my car seat. Try to gate check both items — and maybe look into getting a travel bag to protect the car seat.
Certainly you can gate check your stroller, and I honestly doubt they will charge you to gate check the seat. We are travelling with twins and last time I simply could not walk from the plane to the baggage area, where they now deliver the prams. I heard that is now security and no-one could help with bags because they are personal belongings nor with the babies.
I asked for a wheel chair and not possible for the babies, nor any special assistance. I need to travel overseas again and I am almost leaving my babies behind because I simply cannot manage. Does anyone have a solutions — i. Hi Tania! Can you reach out to the airport to see what assistance can be offered? We just returned home on Thursday from a trip, and I noticed airport personnel waiting at the end of our jetway for a passenger that required assistance.
How old are your twins? Hi, I am in a similar situation. I have set of twins who will be 22 months at the time of travel. Also have a 5 year old. I will be flying out of Canada by WestJet to Montreal then will be going international from there using Qatar airways. It would be around 1. I was wondering if I should purchase a double umbrella stroller for the twins or I have a double Combi stroller.
Will I be able to take the stroller to the aircraft or do I have to check in. Fortunately, for the most of my trip I am travelling with my friend and her family, except on my way back from Montreal to Calgary. Any advice would be good. Hi Sobia! If you have the budget, then a lightweight double will definitely be worth it.
Good luck—let us know how it goes! This is a great post — so helpful, thank you!!! I had the Bugaboo. I always checked it in its big old travel bag and used a cheap lightweight stroller in the airport.
Much easier! Just before a month i bought some accessories for the stroller like travel bag, handles and extra adjustable wallet which make it more usable i hope i will able to uninstall by own before checking. My guess is they would probably charge you extra to check the wagon—I doubt very much they would allow you to gate check it. I plan to gate check in two car seats 4 yr old and 3 yr old on Hawaiian Airline. What is the size of the stroller both open and folded.
Will the folded dimensions meet the size requirements for storing the stroller in the overhead compartment on the airplane. Whether you plan to gate check your stroller or bring it on the plane, it should be lightweight enough that you can easily carry it along with all your other belongings and your baby. Your travel stroller should be easy to fold and unfold. A one-hand fold is best, since you can fold your stroller and hold your baby at the same time.
Price is always a factor. Further to that, you want a travel stroller that can withstand everything your travel throws at it: cobblestone streets, multiple folding and unfolding, uneven terrain, etc. It should also be durable enough to last from the baby stage right through the toddler stage. We recommend getting a travel stroller with a high max weight capacity for this reason.
You want a stroller that will work well in the airport but that will still glide effortlessly as you explore new cities.
Last but by no means least is the safety of the stroller. Your travel stroller should have a 5 point harness and brakes on the wheels. It should be easy to fold and not come unfolded while carrying. Purchase the best travel stroller from a reputable company and choose one that gets good reviews without any safety concerns. The best stroller for plane travel for your family will have all the features you need in a budget that works for you.
In order to make that search easier, these are all highly rated strollers for airplane travel that are at or below 14 pounds and have compact fold. There are options in every price range. Our recommendations for the Best Stroller for Air Travel: Best Overall — Babyzen YoYo2 is compact, has a one-hand fold and can be used as a travel system making it work from newborn through the toddler stage. The most compact stroller there is! The Baby Joy Lightweight Stroller folds to a dimension of At 14 pounds and with a weight capacity of 50 pounds this makes an excellent lightweight stroller for airplane travel.
With no recline and an almost non-existent sun visor, we would recommend this as a toddler stroller for air travel rather than babies. You can keep your toddler comfortable and out of the sun with one of these sunshades. For the most affordable strollers on this list, the Jeep North Star umbrella stroller has a much-improved canopy and only weighs 10 pounds. Without any recline, this makes a much better travel stroller for toddlers.
