I purchased this rollator said over all others due to its uniqueness in the US. My question is, does it pass through security at airports?

I have not taken this particular Rollator through the.airport. However, I have taken two others ( my now-eetired Invacare and my Nitro "travel walker") through security. Both folded side-to-side; the Access Active folds fore-and-aft, but nearly the same dimensions. That said, I feel confident that TSA and the carrier will work with you.

It will pass through security (your basket will need to be search/scanned .. not a problem) ... but the big no-no is allowing even gate check-in or plane-side check-in of the walker; if the baggage handlers throw it [or ?] (as they did mine), you'll receive it back at your destination with a cracked base frame. :(

Yes, I had no issues with security....they checked it out and it passed fine! You should have no issues at all! happy travels!

I used it last April when I traveled with my clubs for the first time. My clubs made it to Fort Myers and back to Maine with no problems. It was easy to wheel through the airport. Not heavy at all, rolls right along.

I recently used this model for my guns on two flights, and no problems, cleared TSA inspection just fine. Nice part is if needed you can give them the combination over a phone call and not worry about a key.

I would call the Airline you are traveling on and ask. I took it through security and didn't have any problem, but things change all the time.

I have taken this tool through TSA checkpoints at multiple airports in my briefcase many times. The last time, for some reason, it "didn't scan right" according to the TSA checker and they sent in through the scanner three times. After examining the tool at length, the examiner apologized profusely and said, "This is obviously OK, I can't understand why our scanner is triggering on it." I think that it was just a poorly trained, inexperienced TSA employee, but there you have it.

I recently took this item on a trip, on the way to the destination I had it in my carry on. on the way back I had it in my checked luggage. I had no issues with the product or the airline. I flew with Delta.

I've never had them questioned and usually have one in my bag. That said there is nothing more consistent than the inconsistency of the TSA. Hope that helps.

Yes, there is absolutely no problem going through security with this bag. Have taken many flights and not once was it questioned.

I just came back one month ago from germany and the stroller worked perfect there. It was great for the airport I jsut had a hassle putting it apart to fit it in the gate check bag which was unnecessary. But one button and the stroller folds... I definitely would recommend it for airport travel and european streets and sidewalks. I don't know any other stroller that folds that flat and that convenient

yep, went through TSA at the JFK airport in NYC w/ no prob :). Just keep in mid different airports in different countries might be stricter than JFK. But it's okay to carry on flights throughout most of the US.

I bet this will be confiscated by TSA agents. So, if you really need it, pack it in your checked baggage. If you are traveling without checked baggage...leave this at home. I had a great multi-tool that was shaped like a key confiscated and no matter how long I tried to argue, TSA would not budge. The dull blade on that key was probably no longer than 1 inch.

Having flown out and in to the USA recently, it will. However, you must advise that it is medically necessary and advise TSA of that before you pass it through. Have it outside your luggage and tell them it is medically necessary. No Problem!

I've carried mine in my carry-on for years and through international borders without a second glance. HOWEVER, I just had it refused this month in a flight from Canada, because of the serrated edge. I'll still keep on taking it and the odds are with me but it's not guaranteed.

Yes, I have used this at the airport and on a flight. They made me take out the power cord so the laptop was just in there by itself and there were no problems getting through security.

You should be able to carry it on most airplanes but you should always check with your carrier first. It is rugged enough to check as checked package for sure. Just invest in a lock.

Just for reference: I have traveled with this stroller within the U.S. And internationally. Both times I was able to bring it to the gate. On one of the flights, they tried to tell me that I would need to check it, but I had mine of it! And they allowed me to bring it to the gate.

Yup.. I take it on planes even when fully extended.. The couple of flights that I took it on had the overhead bins connected to each other, so I think it overlapped from one bin to another. I can't remember though.. It depends on the airline and the size of the plane (I flew delta, and I had no problem at all)P.S. I was never asked to check it in.. I always take it as a carry on. You don't want it to get cracked
