How to Bring a Stroller on an Airplane: Essential Tips for Traveling Parents

Wondering how to bring a stroller on a plane? Traveling with a baby stroller can feel overwhelming, especially when flying with an infant or newborn. Every airline has different stroller policies, and navigating airport security can be stressful. However, with the right travel-friendly stroller, your journey can be smooth and hassle-free.

Check Airline Stroller Policies
Before your trip, always check the airline’s stroller policies. Many airlines allow you to check in a baby stroller for free or bring it as a carry-on if it meets size and weight restrictions. Most airlines have a carry-on weight limit of 7kg, but this may vary. The Crolla Baby Stroller Collection is designed with air travel in mind:

Breeze Through Airport Security with a Travel-Friendly Stroller
Security checkpoints can be stressful when traveling with a baby. Choosing the right infant stroller can make all the difference. The Crolla Fleex, Crolla Premium Air Swift, and Crolla Air Swift are built for easy airport navigation. With a one-second fold mechanism, you can collapse them quickly, making it easier to carry your newborn or baby while moving through security. A lightweight, compact stroller reduces the hassle of managing your baby and luggage, ensuring a smooth airport experience.

Know When and Where to Fold Your Stroller
Before heading to airport security or boarding your flight, you’ll need to fold your stroller. Even though Crolla baby strollers feature easy-fold mechanisms, it’s helpful to practice folding your stroller beforehand. This ensures a stress-free experience, especially for first-time parents traveling with a newborn or infant. Familiarizing yourself with the quick-folding system of Crolla Fleex, Crolla Premium Air Swift, and Crolla Air Swift will help streamline your airport journey, saving time and effort.

Understand How to Check in Your Stroller
Each airline has different policies on stroller check-in. Some allow you to gate-check your baby stroller, meaning you can use it until boarding. Others require check-in at the counter. When handing over your infant stroller at the aircraft door, note that availability depends on airport security policies. Planning ahead will ensure a smoother, stress-free journey for you and your baby. Always check ahead to confirm:

  • If gate-checking is allowed.
  • If extra fees apply.
  • Where you will collect your baby stroller after the flight.
