Traveling is a wonderful adventure, and flying with your baby is one of the most precious moments of your life. However, parents are always faced with a series of problems, such as choosing the right cart and ensuring that it is smoothly boarded. Choosing a suitable stroller is not only about the comfort and safety of your baby, but also directly affects the ease of your journey. This guide will help you make your journey with your baby more enjoyable and smooth!
Guide to choosing the right stroller airplane
1. Understand airline policies
Airline policies for strollers can vary, so the most important step is to find out in advance what the airline's regulations are for strollers. According to the International Air Transport Association (IATA), the maximum size of carry-on luggage is:
- Length: 22 inches (56 cm)
- Width: 18 inches (45 cm)
- Height: 10 inches (25 cm)
Strollers that exceed these sizes usually need to be checked at the gate. In order to ensure that your stroller can be successfully boarded or checked, it is recommended to contact the airline customer service as soon as possible after booking to confirm whether the stroller meets the size requirements, shipping fees and procedures. This will prevent the travel schedule and arrangements from being affected by unclear policies.
2. Size and portability of strollers
Choose a pram that meets the airline's carry-on size requirements to avoid the hassle of having the stroller checked. The lightweight and easy-to-fold stroller makes your trip easier, especially if you need to move around a lot or change transportation. Portability makes it easy to cope with tight Spaces such as boarding gates and boarding lanes.
3. Durability and safety of strollers
Travel environments are often complex, so choosing a pram that is durable and easy to clean is especially important. Durable strollers can resist wear and tear during long journeys, and good safety is the key to ensuring your baby's comfort and safety. Be sure to choose a stroller with a five-point seat belt, a firm braking system and a stable structure.
4. Comfort and adjustability of stroller
During travel, changes in the weather and environment may affect your baby's comfort. Therefore, it is important to choose a pram with an adjustable awning and seat. This not only provides the baby with proper shade protection, but also allows the baby to stay comfortable in the seat during the journey. Comfort is especially critical when your baby is on a plane or in a car for long periods of time.
5. Stroller compatibility
If you plan to use a car seat on your trip, make sure the pram is compatible with the car seat. This will allow you to switch seamlessly while traveling, avoiding the hassle of repeated installation and removal, and ensuring the safety of your baby.
What are the options for flying with a stroller?
There are several different ways to carry a pram, depending on the airline you choose and the type of pram :
- Carry-on:
If the stroller meets the airline's carry-on size requirements, you can bring it on board as carry-on baggage. Make sure the stroller folds easily and is the right size to store under the seat.
- Check in:
If the pram is too large or does not meet carry-on requirements, you may choose to check it at the gate. In order to prevent the cart from being damaged during the consignment process, it is recommended to use protective bags for packaging.
- Special Accommodations:
Some airlines offer extra convenience for parents with infants, allowing strollers to be checked first or offering special storage space. Confirming such policies with the airline in advance will help you be better prepared.
