Excellent for gate check, folds very easily and is super light. I would advise you to take some warm blankets as it will be cold in London, also buy the rain cover for the stroller as it most likely will rain.

Sorry we haven't used it yet but it's for a trip to Aruba in Dec so I hope so!

I've never been to London so I can't answer the first question, but I have traveled with this stroller several times. It folds up fairly easily and also comes with a nice travel bag. I just put it in the bag for gate check. The bag rolls up to be about the size of a loaf of bread once you take the stroller out of it and easily fits underneath. It rains a lot in London, right? We also purchased the rain cover which has come in handy a few times. The seat reclines to almost horizontal. A few times we've been traveling and needed to let him take a nap and it worked out fine. EDIT: Sorry, we bought the travel bag separately. It's $50, but we travel enough to make it worth while. The stroller is durable enough but the way luggage gets thrown around I wouldn't check it without some protective cover.

Yes. I bought this for our trip to Asia next month and after lots of research I think it's the best travel stroller. Super lightweight and folds quick.

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.

We traveled with ours and it was easy. The stroller folds up quickly and was easy to maneuver through security. We chose to gate check and enjoyed having it available at our layover. The stroller held up well and has no damage from the travels.

Hi Linda. We have this gate/play yard, and I would say that it is easy to fold up and store, but I don't know your circumstance. If you are hauling it back and forth or up and down stairs, it might be too cumbersome. We use it as a gate for our wide stairs and we pack it up if we have guests or vacuum, etc. It is sizable and sort of heavy (about 30 lbs) if you are lifting it, but in general, it is easy to move around. I hope that helps.

Yes, this does fold flat quickly and easily for transportation! That's part of the reason why we love it so much. We can easily fold it up and pack it in the car when we bring our black lab over to others' houses when we go on vacation without her.

It is super easy to set up and take down once you get use to it. Your biggest issue would be storage it's not a lightweight travel gate. We also tie dark sheets to a corner to crate shade when we use it outside.

I use this stroller with my 8mo old, most of the time the bus driver lets me on w/o folding it and we have no problems. If I'd have to fold it, i don't think i'd be able to do it while holding the baby. Umbrella stroller is best for that.

It is very easy to fold. you just lift the edge of the seat. I used it on a trip to Europe with no problem. I did take a bungee cord to keep it folded when carried or placed in storage on a bus.

It folds very easily. Has a clamp thingy (haha how's that for technical) that snaps to hold it closed and a cover that protects it all, say from dirty under plane grit and grime. This definitely won't go on the plane with you but will gate check nicely. I used to work as a flight attendant I've seen it all haha. Good luck.

It is suitable once the infant has good head control, so around 3 months and up. Weight limit should be in the manual. We have used sinc 6 months and on several trips, including to nyc; it was easy to fold for subway travel. Love the canopy and he seems comfy.

As much as I love this stroller, it cannot fold for travel. You can break it down but it's really not meant for quick fold and go. I think there are some out there that have that feature but of course they are a bit more in price.

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

It is bigger than an umbrella stroller, but if your child is a little older, she won't have to stoop to use this one. It doesn't take up much room and can be folded up for storage.

I bought this stroller for my daughter. I asked her and she said it folds well but not for carry on. Hope this helps.

It's pretty easy. The gates are all connected and tighten and loosen on top for safety purposes. I literally took it out of the box set it where I wanted it and tightened in about 5 minutes. It folds together easy and has a nice snap fasten to keep it together. It is very bulky but that comes with the territory. Planning to keep it for a puppy playpen when the baby grows out of it.

Very easy to fold and unfold, our 3 yr old granddaughter can do it. however because it has non slip pads on the legs, you cannot just push it down. Unless it was on a very smooth surface.

Yes, I keep it in an arc to keep the baby away from certain areas. This gate is fantastic!! It folds up and has a strap that connects them. Good luck!

Definitely-it folds nicely with very little bunching in the fold. Folds back to flat. Still very happy with this purchase a year later.
