VAMOMMY5633 said its a great travel stroller. Can it be brought to the gate in an airport? Or does it need to be checked with luggage?

Yes, it can be brought to the gate. Just be sure to fold it up completely just before you get on the plane. It absolutely does not need to be checked.

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.

Yes, thats why I bought this stroller...it folds down quickly and easier than my baby jogger. When you get to the gate, make sure you go to the customer service desk and ask the airline rep for a gate check tag. They will verify your boarding pass, tag your stroller and hand you the claim ticket.

We didn't use it on a plane, but according to the Britax website and the booklet came with it, it won't be difficult to install. We use the Britax carseat bag and checked in at gate along with our stroller, both didn't count as extra luggage. The bag also can be carry like a backpack, it was light and easy to carry. The Carseat bag also could fit a toddler potty seat from IKEA. So it worked perfectly for us.

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.

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.

No, you must have a Graco infant seat. It will clock right in. We used it at the airport. MaDE traveling a lot easier. It's a lot more compact then the stroller the infant seat came with.

Yes. You could check the bag if you needed to. Though we have always left our stroller at the gate since it's free, and have always had the maximum amount of check in bags anyway.

We used it at the gate, but I don't see why you couldn't check it as a bag. We used our stroller to traverse the airport and then packed it up in this carrier when we boarded the plane. I didn't really want to check my stroller in a bag or not because of how rough they handle luggage.

I traveled with mine in my checked luggage, no problems! Follow the directions included and you're good to go.

I doubt the airline would allow it given the size of the bag with the stroller in it. They have no problem checking the bag as a stroller but it is likely too big to gate-check. We have the Donkey and it is very large. We have to completely disassemble the stroller at home, check it in, and reassemble when we reach our destination. Once checked, we just carry our son (7 months old) to the gate. That said, we always take it on vacation with us and the stroller is completely protected. We are also able to put in the Ergo and some blankets in the extra space at the top. Hope that helps.

Hi, we haven't flown with it yet (but we will in April, when we go on a trip to California). Best is to check with the airline. We flown to Europe in October and called the airline to find out their policy on carrying baby stuff and they were extremely helpful, so that's our recommendation. And once you know the policy, would you mind sharing it with us? Thank you and sorry we couldn't be of any assistance :)

P.S. I used this as one of my travel strollers. Although the handling isn't amazing (low price), I found it very convenient for the airport and at my destinations. I really like the large basket in the bottom and the snack tray for your child (often things you cannot get with an umbrella stroller).

Yes. I had no problems with it except its hard to tell that its a stroller. They had put it with the other bags and had to get it separately and it took a few minutes to wait on them.

Agreed. We literally got back from California tonight. My kids are 16 months and 3 and a half years old. Very few cars could accommodate a stroller this big is the only downfall, we rent mini vans, by the time you get it and your luggage in, you'll be happy you did. I have a toyota Highlander so it's no biggy for us around home. For anyone who doesn't know though, you don't actually take the stroller onto the plane, once you are about to board the plane from the airwalk you drop the stroller there and it gets checked, then you pick it up in the same place after the flight.. Most air lines check strollers and car seats for free fyi as well. Your wording sounded like you planned on taking it onto the plane, so I thought I would clarify that.

I have - it worked great! Traveling through the airport was SO much easier than the last time I traveled, without the Go-Go Babyz Travelmate Deluxe. Be prepared for a handcheck at security, as the car seat and carrier won't fit through the x-ray machines (the car seat doesn't fit through on its own either, even without the carrier). You'll have to detach the car seat from the carrier when you're boarding the plane, because they won't fit down the aisle. I used the car seat on the airplane, and tucked the carrier under the seat while flying. When traveling through the airport, it works just like a stroller. I buckled in my 3-year-old and off we went! He enjoyed riding in it as much as I enjoyed the stress-free travel. I highly recommend it.

Took it on a plane no issue. Not so compact for the car. The city mini folds better if your stroller will be in and out of the car but it depends on your car size. Able to put it in the trunk of my versa, but it takes up most of the space

Very easy to fold down. I frequently travel by air with my dog and can quickly drop this stroller into the folded state at security and at the end of the jet way (for gate checking).

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.
