Airline ApprovedCabin Size Strollers

Checking in the stroller instead of storing it in the overhead compartment has several disadvantages:

1. Inconvenience: You won’t have immediate access to the stroller upon landing, making it difficult and inconvenient to transport children through the airport, including immigration queues and waiting at baggage claim.
2. Potential Loss or Damage: Checking in the stroller as luggage has high risks of damage or getting lost during travel.

Getting a lightweight cabin stroller is a hassle-free option for smoother, more efficient travel with young children.

Yes, most airlines let you check a stroller for free. 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.

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.

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.
