Flying Easyjet with 11month old - pram?

8 replies

I was wondering if anyone has any advice for me!

I'm flying with my 11month old at the end of the month. Gatwick Easyjet to Malaga.
I need to take a travel cot, travel pram and car seat with me as we are driving from the airport in our own car we leave there and we are staying in a friends flat so no option of asking the hire place for a car seat or the hotel to provide a cot...

I know I can take 2 items in the hold for free (I'll be putting car seat & cot). But I've also paid for a large cabin bag in the hopes I can find a pram that folds up small enough. I cant seem to find any that fit and are a reason price point!

Does anyone have any suggestions please :)

large cabin bag on board (max. 56 x 45 x 25 cm, including any handles or wheels)

I'll be bringing a nappy bag and also a small bag for myself. So much stuff for one small human!

I guess that all depends on what your price point is? Most of the newer folding travel buggies (yoyo, cyber has several, joolz, Ergobaby, bugaboo) will fit the generous easyJet large cabin bag allowance.

I’ve taken my YoYo as a carry on with easy jet loads of time. It’s a good sturdy stroller too that mine seem to find very comfy!

Sorry, should say Cybex (not Cyber)! The Cybex Libelle is a tad lighter and folds up even smaller than the Yo-yo. Cheaper too.

Another solution - if you leave a car there, why not order something like Graco Turn2Me or Graco Extend R129 or BabyAuto Kypa to a post locker at the airport (if there is one) and leave it in the car for next time? (BabyAuto seats tend to be cheapest in Spain).

If there's no kind of post pick up at the airport, click and collect at a local store, and one person drives to pick up the car seat while the other waits?

Travel buggy escond hand might be worth doing too. And there are some travel cots which fold up smaller if you don't already have one.

Or take a baby sling for airport, buy a cheap buggy over there and leave it in the car.

Theres loads of folding strollers now for cabin bg size, but they obviously aren't cheap.

Can you not order trqvel cot or car seat to be delivered there?

Also there are UK based companies that will hire you a YoYo. A friend of mine did it recently. Could work if you otherwise don’t want or need another pram?

Thanks to everyone who offered help! Really appreciate it :)
I went with the Cybex Libelle as batbat suggested - looks perfect!
And only trouble with leaving the things in the car is that we (usually) travel all of the time, so I would rather have the stuff at home so they can go anywhere with us :)
