Can you use this stroller for the airport? Would they let you go to the gate or do you have to check it in?

I purchased this stroller for my daughter. She loves it, she says it is the most compact stroller on the market. Yes, all strollers can go to the gate and be checked at the gate. The biggest issue is getting it through security, she says she has seen them go through security many times.

That's a really good question! I'd be intrigued to know the answer as I've never used it in an airport. I'd say your best bet is to check with the airline you are flying with. Good luck!

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!

We flew with it to Disney in May of this year. We took it through security and they checked it at the gate. We did have to take the kids and everything out of it to go through security. They even wiped it down and checked it for substances, but we got it through no problem. Actually it was a benefit to us since it was so wide we got to go through the wheelchair line!

We got this stroller to take it on vacation to Mexico. I am not sure how it compairs to a trend jogger, but we took it to the gate without any issues.

We checked-in this bag with the stroller. My husband didnt want to take the wheels off the stroller at the gate, which is what you need to do to pack it.

I purchased this stroller for that sole purpose! Its very lite weight and maneuvers great. Unfortunately, I am not sure if you can take it on board the plane I have read other reviews where they said its great for travelling and moving through airports. Not many airlines that I know will let you take it on board.They will let you get as far as the plane then they will have one of the employess store it under . I would call the airline your flying on and ask them! Hope this was a little helpful

When we traveled with my mother's rolling walker the airline took it right at the door to the plane, like a baby stroller, and brought it back when the plane landed. Perhaps you should contact the airline? It certainly can be checked baggage.

Hello,I have heard on some rare occasions that an airline will allow this on the plane, but I would not count on that. They will be happy to gate check it for you though.Thanks!

Yes it goes through standard doors pretty good. I have had this stroller for about 4 mths now and I absolutely LOVE it!

I don't think so but even if it feeds they don't allow to bring strollers with the passengers. They always gave me a tag and I will pick it up right after I get out of the plane so It doesn't matter if you have many connections you will always have the stroller with you. It was great for traveling in the plane that's the reason I got it the only complain I have is that the tray is hard to take out. They should not charge you for taking the stroller I had my carry on suitcase and the stroller without extra charge, but call your airline.

I packed my bugaboo in the transport and checked it in, didn't bring it to gate, no problem doing that and didn't get charged for extra luggage (it's considered a stroller so free). Hope that helps!

I don't know if you can package up a stroller at a gate check. I believe they require it to just be folded up. You can of course check it for free. We did that (and will be doing it again very soon) and able to stuff more into the case to ship :)

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.

I do not know the measurements of the box but airlines are typically great with checking baby items such as stroller, carrier, and portable crib for free as they are considered necessary items. We flew Delta in 7/12 with this travel system and it flew free. I will say they are VERY rough on your stuff. Expect scratches and etc. they will likely require you to open the box and you'll never get it back in at the airport. Ship it to your destination or check at home to see if you think u can get it back in box. I recommend renting a carrier bc they will chuck your stuff around and carseats are not meant to be handled this way. Call your airline.

I purchased this stroller just for trips. It comes with a shoulder strap. However, on the 1st flight when we retrieved it from gate check, the plastic attachment was broken-so couldn't "carry" it. It wasn't a very comfortable strap anyway. Before returning home, I purchased a quality camera strap with metal attachments. It worked perfectly-and didn't get broken at gate check.

Yes. Depending on your disability, you can check it in at the same time you check your luggage and ask for a wheel chair. Your second option is to check it in at the gate if you prefer to walk. Either way, have it tagged with your personal information (like your luggage). There is no charge for it to fly (not considered a bag). I've flown with mine and an EZ Go scooter. I refer to fly Southwest but fly United as well. They are most accommodating and I've never had any damages in the ten years I've needed one. I really don't know how I could live without mine.

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.

i did travel with this stroller and my two children. its was a bit of a pain but i managed it. with the seat getting lost. just ask at check in to get 3 stroller tags for each part. this way nothing gets lost.

A side by side stroller sounds pretty big. I had a regular Graco stroller and it didn't fit all the way! I would either use the bag that's too big or nothing at all. It wasn't that big of a deal checking the stroller without a gate check bag from what I could see other people doing. In fact, it seemed more convenient.
