Has anybody had any experience taking any of the ultra compact prams on board as hand luggage?
We are flying several times this year short and long haul and I need something to take on board.
I have 3 children, 3.5yrs, 2yrs & 4month old. We will be taking a double umbrella stroller to check in, but our past experience of travelling to America, in particular, could mean a good 2hr wait at passport control before getting to baggage reclaim. After a long flight even the eldest will be exhausted so we couldn’t carry all 3 and hand luggage.
Gatwick is also a nightmare as you don,t get the buggy back until baggage claim and it’s one heck of a walk with 3 under 4’s and bags. Last year BA lost our stroller there AND back from Nice! Just can’t risk it this time.
I’ve had a look and the Babyzen Yoyo, although the smallest fold, is way to expensive. So that leaves the following
Mamas & Papas Acro (slightly bigger than the Yoyo)
Then these that are bigger than the cubic hand baggage restrictions
Ickle Bubba Aurora
Chicco miinimo
Baby jogger city tour
Joie pact lite
Because of the baby it has to recline and needs a decent hood/rainwear so that counts out the GB Pockit and mothercare xxs.
We are travelling with virgin and BA, I’d love to know if anyone has taken a stroller on board.
