Taking my 4m-old’s bulky pram on plane?

Hello everyone,

I’m due to fly alone with my 4-month-old DS in ten days. I’ve been reading all the tips I can find, as I’m a bit nervous about it, but what I’m still not sure about is what to do with his pram…

He is still too young to graduate to a stroller and our travel system is a bit bulky. The frame can collapse (but is quite heavy), while the bassinet attachment clips off but is large, though I think I can collapse it somehow.

Does anyone know if I’m allowed to bring a two-part pram like this (to check in at the gate preferably)? I don’t think I’ve ever seen anyone in an airport with a pram, only strollers… Or can someone recommend an affordable lightweight pram that fully collapses in one piece that would be good to travel with? I was hoping to avoid buying another one, but if it will help make the journey smoother then I’ll do it!

Hello @afternoonbiscuit
We've got an article about taking a pram on a plane that might be handy. We've highlighted tips from Mumsnetters and we've included a few pushchair recommendations from parents that have travelled with prams. Hope all goes smoothly on your trip! ✈
