Bringing a trolly instead of a pushchair?

Hi there,

I'm travelling on my own this Easter with my 2 yr old daughter and 5 yr old Son. (My son is autistic) In the past I've brought a double buggy for them both but it's so big and bulky and my daughter will never sit in it. (My son will happily sit in it the whole way)
I saw this trolly's advertised and bought one for the trip instead as I can put both the kids in it and the bags and I know they would be happy for me to push them around.
It folds down like a pushchair. Photos below!
Just wondering if anyone else has done this before and whether they have been ok using it as a pushchair replacement? I cant find any info on the airlines sites so wanted to check.
Thanks in advance! :)

I suppose it's not strictly a pushchair/ stroller, which is the terminology that most airlines and airports seem to use. You run the risk of someone making things awkward on that point alone. I would think the best thing to do would be to contact your airline and the airports separately and provide the images and ask for their advice.

On a separate note, I think those wagons can be quite uncomfortable for children over long periods, and you'd probably need cushioning for them anyway. The pushchair might be easier. Also, you'll need to be able to easily fold the wagon, so if it takes a while to get it into the state that it's in in the picture, that might be worth thinking about.
