Is it easy to travel by airplane with this double stroller? Did it easily fit through the x-ray screener at security checkpoint?

I haven't tried to take it on an airplane but I don't think it would fit through the X-ray machine unfolded. It does fold relatively compactly so you could fold it then carry it through. But note that folding it requires two hands!!!

It fits very easily through single doorways, even narrow single doorways. This stroller is amazing. So easy to fold too. I love everything about it. The only issue is the underneath storage space is difficult to get to.

I recently used this stroller in the Chicago O'Hare Intl. Airport. Since its so big you have to get it checked in as luggage not carry on, but they will let u take it until u are about to board the plane then they take it to cargo, but if u have multiple stops they will bring it to you at every stop at no extra cost. I would double check with your airline when you're checking in, but that was my experience. Also this is the best brand of stroller I've ever owned!

It folds easily into the stroller. I always kept mine on and I also flew with it just fine.

Yes. It is a bit big but they will let you use it on most airplanes. At the very least, they will allow you to gate check it for free. Check with the airline - you have to call them anyway to let them know that you're traveling with infants.

It is pretty light. I would say yes for airports,but you may find it too wide for sidewalks. This is the only double I have used so I can't give you much help when it comes to other strollers.

It's really too long to carry on the plane - we checked it in an oversized duffle - it was so easy to setup and take down and we got a lot of compliments/questions about it so it was worth having to check.

Yes, this stroller folds very easy. I bought it for travel. And it worked great, it's light weight too.

I don't know if it's X-ray proof, but I have never had a problem with mine at the TSA security checkpoint. I usually have one in my camera and two backups in my bag. They have gone through the machine without losing and data on several trips to Texas and Colorado.

Hi - I own this unit and it's pretty good. I would not take it on a plane - it's awkward even folded up - the handle sticks out - I think you'd find it a real pain to try and fit - no flex.

We carried it on very easily, though we're did double it up in our car seat bag with our younger child's FAA-compliant seat, which was in use in the plane. It's extremely lightweight, though, so if you have a bag it fits in, it doesn't make things ungainly. I've never used the Bubble Bum, but have heard from others that it's pretty uncomfortable. This one got no such complaints.

I have traveled with the carseat and alone with a 2-3 yr old, both internationally and domestically. Now, I'm a pretty strong woman, but it's not very joyful carrying this over your back along with carry on bag, stroller, kid, backpack, and or whatever you choose to bring with you. It does not come with the back straps, they have to be purchased separately (I purchased on amazon) and they have about a 6 inch long padding strip (which is very minimally padded). My daughter is 3 now and I have no plans to travel anytime soon, but if I do I'll be checking in the seat, not bringing it on the plane. Now, the seat itself is incredible, it's fits on any airline seat, its comfortable, safe, amazing quality. Although I can't really give a great experience traveling with this seat, I do have to say it is and was a lot easier than when I used to have to travel with a regular carseat. It is also alot easier if you are traveling with an adult companion (I've always traveled alone with toddler with this seat), and can find a way to add a little extra padding to the strap, then you will be golden! Hope this helps!

yes i would say it's great to travel with. i've traveled with this stroller on 4 flights. it's easy to fold up and also stands after fold. it's great that there is a strap you can put on your shoulders if you need to pick up the stroller and go quickly your hands are free to hold the baby and other things.

Not a great choice for either I would say... its not an offroad stroller, and its simply too large to be reasonable at a busy airport. I wont lie, this sucker is heavy and long. I would take measurements of your vehicle before you buy because it wont fit in some. That said for things like zoo days or parks with sidewalks, we absolutely love it. Our 4 year has some physical limitations and the back seat allows her easy in and out and lets her feel like a big kid without being strapped into a traditional mobility stroller. I completely endorse it, but you need to be aware this is probably not an every day kind of stroller.

The stroller comes in a large box, but it has a shallow depth. Large height and width, but it is slimmer because you have to assemble the stroller. I know people do bring strollers on airplanes with them. I have seen special carrier cases that you can buy specifically for checking it as luggage. You may want to call the airport and ask.

I wore one through security once (wasn't thinking). The scanner beeped so I was asked to step to the side. I explained what I had on and lowered my waistband enough to show it to them. I also had a packaged one in my bag so they checked that out, too, and waved me on. It was a small airport so I'm not sure I would have made it through as easily at LAX or DFW. Usually, I put it on after going through TSA.

I could see some LIGHT jogging with this stroller. It is great for hauling 2 little ones around and getting in doorways. It is comfortable for the kids and even fits in the TSA scanner. It is heavy though and would have a hard time on rough terrain.
