Great article, very helpful. When disembarking they sent the stroller to baggage claim, leaving my wife and I to carry our personal items, carry-ons, and a once sleeping 1 year old now quite fussy after the trans-Atlantic flight. Coming into Schiphol, we had to walk about min like this, before we found the stroller not at regular baggage claim, but underneath ski equipment in the oddly shaped baggage section. I have a steelcraft strider compact which is way too big to take all over america with us for four weeks so we are looking at purchasing a smaller stroller.
Any suggestions? Something we can gate check or would fit in overheads. I will be with my husband and 8 month old son. I also have the ergo carrier which my son loves and will be using that a lot. Any advice would be appreciated as this is my first time traveling internationally and traveling with an infant. Folds down small but has full recline and sun shade so baby could nap no problem.
Hi, I am planning to travel by mid September to Mexico. Our first time traveling. My daughter will be 1. Thank you. Hi Brenda! You should be able to gate-check her car seat and the stroller no problem. I recommend purchasing a padded travel bag to protect the car seat.
Have a great flight! Would we have any trouble leaving this at the gate? I would double check by calling the airline. Hi Winvy! Unless Cathay Pacific has specific dimensions listed for their gate-checked strollers, you should be ok. Hi Julia! I was so happy to see this post! I have a Bugaboo stroller 2 pieces -ugh!
According to their policy I have to check the stroller and it counts towards 1 piece of luggage. Do I pay to check it at the same time we pay for our checked bags — then take it to the gate? Or do I have to leave it at the counter when we drop off the rest of our luggage? If for example we take it to the gate could they refuse it at that point?
All this should be cleared with the gate agent. In spite of what the rules posted are, I still see families gate-checking strollers that fold down into two pieces.
Usually the gate agent offers two tags, so each piece can be tagged. How old is your baby? If he or she still rides around in their convertible car seat, could you bring that if it attaches to the stroller frame? Both should be able to be gate-checked no problem. Very helpful post, thank you. My question is if gate checking a stroller means you do not pay an additional luggage fee.
I am soon traveling with Lufthansa and I understand I can gate check but is there an associated cost? Hi Amanda! Typically airlines allow you to gate check at least one baby item free of charge. You can double check with Lufthansa before your flight to be sure. Have a great trip! Hi Indhu! Depending on the airline, you should be able to gate-check your stroller regardless of size. Do you know about Atlas airlines stroller policy for gate check?? Please help! Ours is an uppababy cruz.
Hi Lee! Best of luck and let us know how it goes! Hi, I will be travelling with my 7 month old from India to canada. I will be travelling by jet Airways and air Canada. I want to know if they provide milk on flight.
Secondly my final destination is edmonton. At Toronto Airport, i will be collecting my luggage for connecting flight to Edmonton. I want to know, will there be any help provided to pick my luggage as I will be having stroller for my baby.
It will be difficult to push s stroller and trolly with luggage. I have also requested wheelchair si that I could get some help with my luggage. Hi Aahiya! I would check with the airline to see if they provide milk. To be on the safe side, I would travel with the formula you usually give your baby.
An option for getting around with baby and luggage cart is to bring along a soft carrier or sling, and then wear your baby and put your folded stroller onto the trolley with the rest of your stuff. I noticed that Emirates is not mentioned but I would like to share my experience if it will help someone else. I flew jet blue and connected with Emirates to Africa with my baby and it was a great experience.
Jet blue allowed me to check my large jogging stroller and car seat at the gate with no issues and no weighing or measuring. Emirates did the same without batting an eye. I had two flights with Emirates. It had some scratches on the side but was in great condition otherwise for an 18 hr journey on two different planes.
But for those of u wondering what to do, Emirates offers free stroller services upon landing in Dubai so we had a stroller not far from the arrival terminal. Emirates and jet blue are GREAT with kids and I would recommend them to anyone with kids who has the option to choose those airlines. Note: Emirates and jet blue also allow a 50lb checked bag and a small carry on for lap infants.
I was impressed. Preparing to do it again next month on our return trip. Would you happen to know if a stroller car seat combo will be considered 1 item? Or I have to pay to check in her car seat? Recently traveled on Air France and was disappointed that my gate checked stroller was not available for my long layover in Paris- they checked it to my final destination!
Traveling soon on Delta and have again layover. What about KLM? I really think it depends on the airport. I have heard of this happening for layovers in London Heathrow as well. Best bet is to contact your airline to see if they have any insight. We will be traveling to Europe with a four-month old Lap Ticket. We would like to gate check a stroller and a car seat or a travel system ; have you tried this? Hi Sammie! I have done both. It really depends on the airline if they will charge you extra for it.

Hi I am flying alone with my 9 months baby to Miami and I am worried about moving along the airport specially to the parking to rent a car with baby, stroller, car seat and bags. Is it possible renting a cart? Need ideas please!
Hi Lourdes! You can take them to the car rental areas. We plan on gate checking the stroller at the airplane steps. Would it be worth labelling the bag with the word buggy in Spanish!!! Wow—I had to Google the stroller and is it ever tiny! Does Ryanair give out Gate Check tags to clearly label your stuff? Happy Travels! I have planning for the next trip with my family. And i found your blog with helpful. Can you inform me in airport they have charged extra for this?
