Why Cabin Approved Pushchairs?
The best cabin approved pushchairs comply with the size and weight regulations of a folded, compact carry-on stroller for airplanes. These are handy for parents who love flying and wish to use a pram at their destination. The stroller or travel buggy can be tucked into the overhead shelf of the plane instead of being checked in as baggage.
This enables parents to put their child in a stroller right after getting off the plane, eliminating the need to find a baggage area, which is risky for pushchairs because they could be lost or damaged.
Some key features to focus on should include:
- Compact
- One-handed fold
- Lightweight
- Comfortable for kids
FAQ's
Is a Stroller a Free-Checked Baggage?
Yes, most airlines let you check a stroller for free unless you want to store it in the overhead cabin as a hand luggage. You can check it at the counter or bring it to the gate. This way, you can use the stroller at the airport right up until you board the plane.
Some airlines may have size limits for strollers if you want to bring them as a carry-on , but smaller ones that fit in the overhead compartment are usually allowed. Be sure to check with your airline so you know their rules before you fly.
Are Strollers Allowed in Overhead Cabins on Aeroplanes?
Some strollers are allowed in overhead cabins on airplanes, but it depends on the stroller’s size and the airline’s rules. Most airlines permit compact, foldable strollers that meet carry-on size requirements to be stored in overhead compartments, also known as cabin strollers.
If your stroller is larger or doesn’t fold compactly, you may need to check it at the gate. To be safe, check with your airline before your trip to ensure your stroller fits their carry-on rules.
Airline Approved Size for Cabin Pushchairs
The cabin-approved size for strollers is 22 x 14 x 9 inches (56 x 36 x 23 cm) when folded, and it should be lightweight, generally under 7 kg (15 lbs).
Some airlines require a cover or the stroller to be sealed-wrapped before boarding. Always double-check your airline’s specific policies regarding strollers, as requirements may vary slightly between airlines.
