Has anyone ever taken this on an airplane? Are they willing to gate check this stroller for free, or is it too big?

Southwest Airlines always gate checks it for me, no problems what so ever. It's a life saver at the airport IMO.

I couldn't tell you truthfully , but as to size it's large and I think it would be a pain in the airport

I have. However I've read that American Airlines is the only airline who won't gate check a stroller heavier than 20 pounds. I guess I'll find out soon because we booked a trip with AA. And I am going to take this stroller. No problem with any other airlines I've travelled (United, Delta)

Yes. We used it at gate check with US Air without issue. It's large unfolded, so we'd pack the stroller in it before walking down the gateway. It definitely protected the stroller from a serious beating from the ground crew.

As much as I love this stroller, it cannot fold for travel. You can break it down but it's really not meant for quick fold and go.I think there are some out there that have that feature but of course they are a bit more in price.

It fit our double! I just bought this and did a test run. One of the larger tires is going to have to be put in a carry on. But I just tried it once, maybe you can figure out a way to fit the second one. You do have to take the stroller apart.

I do not know the measurements of the box but airlines are typically great with checking baby items such as stroller, carrier, and portable crib for free as they are considered necessary items. We flew Delta in 7/12 with this travel system and it flew free. I will say they are VERY rough on your stuff. Expect scratches and etc. they will likely require you to open the box and you'll never get it back in at the airport. Ship it to your destination or check at home to see if you think u can get it back in box. I recommend renting a carrier bc they will chuck your stuff around and carseats are not meant to be handled this way. Call your airline.

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 :)

My wife, 2kids (ages 3 and 7 months at the time) flew from TX to CA in June of 2012. We were very glad to have the stroller. It kept both kids contained when needed and was easy when she needed to get down. The plane ride was no more difficult than taking a single stroller. If renting a car you do need to get a SUV or a car with a full size trunk.

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.

I am sorry to say I don't know one way or the other as I have never had to take a toddler seat on a plane. That being said, this seat is about as portable as any of the previous 4 I have tried. I yank it in and out of my car all the time as I only see my little granddaughters once a week and I use my back seat for multiple other purposes than car seat storage. My daughter has one like it and she likes the seat too but I don't think she took it on their one and only plane ride (she did not take any seats as they are 3 and 5). Good luck and have a good trip.

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).

No, the stroller is too big for that. I have taken it to Aruba and it always goes in the bottom of the plane. I usually put it in a stroller bag at the gate just before boarding.

Yes I took the stroller to Argentina were the streets are cobble stone !!! I just recomend you be careful on packing it. My hook to keep it close broke on the plane trip .

I have not taken it on an airplane; only to and from the field. It is quite large; I'm guessing there would be a baggage fee.

I haven't tried air travel with the stroller yet. I would be surprised if you were allowed to take it on board. It would probably go into the cargo area with baby strollers ??? Suggestion---call the airlines.

Oh no, it is big... But I LOVE it. I haven't traveled with it, but it does seem like if it would fit in the overhead. .. def not under the seat. I have been teased that I look like q flight attendant with it, but it is tough, great wheels... and it fits a huge laptop ❤️

No, we usually carry it through the airport folded up and at the gate put the stroller in and gate check it. i will say the zipper on our broke recently on a trip to Africa and when we got hope they replaced it with little difficulty, great product support. The other thing is not much else will hold the Cameron stroller.

I took it but didn't use it. The air France flight that I was on had its own footrests. I agree it was heavy and took up needed space in my carry on. My friend (who recommended it) swears by hers.
