Can you fold and take on airplane?

This wheel chair folds up very nicely but I have never tried to take it on a plane. It folds up nicely for car transport. It doesn't weigh too much and I never had a problem getting it into the car. You will need to find out from the particular air carrier what their policy is regarding wheel chairs. Airplanes have to deal with wheel chairs and baby carriages all the time so I am sure they have a policy. Hopefully they allow you early boarding so you can wheel your loved one to the seat and then perhaps leave the wheel chair tagged at the end of the sky walk. I would check with each particular airline before flying. This wheel chair folds up very nicely but I have never tried to take it on a plane. It folds up nicely for car transport.

Absolutely! We just wheel me up to the airplane door, my husband folds the chair in half ( easy Peasy) and we leave it right there with the baby buggies. Those items are brought up almost immediately after the plane reaches the gate. Unfold, and you're off! My chair has traveled all over Europe and is still in great shape.

It can certainly be folded, I do it all the time and put in the trunk of the car. I don't know what the airlines require.

Carol, it folds pretty compactly, but I guess it will not fit in an overhead bin, depends on Airline policy if they can take it on board.

For the first trip required to check it on flight from Chicago to Frankfort, Germany then supposedly on to Venice. Guess what...snow storm in Frankfort. Airport was closed right after our arrival and were told it would be in Venice the next day when we arrive. So, we were stuck 1 1/2 days in Frankfort airport and transporter doesn't show up til 7 days later in Florence unclaimed baggage. When we got it, bag was all torn up and arm rest broken off. And we are not having an easy time trying to get replacement parts. The chair itself is great, but getting replacement parts...not so much.

I am sure you could. The one I have the arms fold down. And I'm sure you could take it apart the way it was shipped to you to make it easier to travel with. I bought mine quite a while ago & can't remember but I think it was pretty easy to put together. I use mine all the time. I keep it on the back porch. Love it.

Funny that you mention that, Why Yes you can. I flew United and Southwest after I got this and was my only carryon for some overnight trips.I had this pretty full with my laptop/books and a couple other things and it fits nearly perfect under the seat in front of me. P.S. I did have to show TSA how to open it when I went through security.

Yes, it does fold up, and it is light and compact. Our favorite travel stroller for airplanes, and we always leave it in our car.

Not sure, didn't purchase it for that reason. It does fold up fairly flat, so I guess if the airline can take the size, don't see why it couldn't. Guess you would have to ask the airline for sure....... I too purchased this to transport my Mom to Dr. appt's and the such. The care facility she was in only had the big bulky wheel chairs, I chose not to use because of the size and weight lifting into my SUV. This chair is very light and moves easily.

Yes you can fold it. It is the flexible style. This is a really good Rubber Chicken.

No. You can't fold it. You wouldn't want it folding while doing tricks on it.

Although I do not know if this can be checked on a plane, it does fold up very easily and it has a handle to make it easy to carry. It really does carry like a suitcase. My guess is that it can be checked. It ends up the size of the largest side pieces, plus some width from folding (there is a pic of it folded on the listing). This crate is the best crate ever; quality, convenient to use because of the three doors and the ease of folding and unfolding, plus the price is an absolute steal! The top door makes my life much easier! I will never be without one now.

It is fairly easy to put up and take down. You have to take out two screws and then it will fold in half. You don't need a screw driver you can do it by hand (loosen the wing nut).

Nope, sorry. In all, not a great one for portability due to size and inability to fold. Love it at home

I believe you can. It may take a few minutes to "poof" up, but it folds really nicely without tearing.

Yes, you can fold the legs. It is a bit heavy but you can carry it in a hiking bag.

Yes you can, it makes it a little longer folded up, but is still very compact.

We got it for a gift for our granddaughter. I don't have the dimensions, but yes, you can carry it on a plane.

Hi. I don't think so. I have never taken it anywhere, and I never fold it. But I do love it. Sorry!

Answer is No. Because of the padding and fan, it is not possible to fold the bag in any way.

I'd agree...not very foldable. I don't know if this info is of any use, but I've had my M80 gate checked and also had it fit in an overhead storage on a flight (it takes up two overhead compartments being as long as it is). If your goal was to bring this case by plane, maybe that is of interest to you.
