Buying Guide
Why buy a stroller bag for air travel?
Generally, stroller bags are not considered a necessity but they do have their advantages and you could gain a lot from using one.
Although it’s not mandatory, stroller bags are good for protecting your precious buggy from damage, wetness or dirt.
These qualities are very important for maintaining a stroller, especially during air travel.
As a flight attendant, I’ve seen a lot of baby strollers, musical instruments and other delicate belongings sent to the hold of the plane and the ways some of them are handled are quite concerning.
Most baggage handlers handle people’s luggage with little care.
Because they don’t have a lot of time and resources are limited, your belongings held in the hold section could get damaged easily.
Considering all this, you must protect your belongings.
What to consider before buying a stroller bag
- Size: Stroller bags come in different sizes. Before buying a stroller bag, check for size compatibility with your stroller. Some stroller brands have custom stroller travel bags that you can get or you could go for a universal fit bag. Also, if you are unsure of what size to choose, you can rarely go wrong with a bigger bag.
- Waterproof and rip-resistant material: When it comes to buying stroller bags for air travel, the sturdier the better. Check the stitches, the quality of the fabric and find out how well it can resist water.
- Closure system: A good stroller bag should have a good closure system such as a zipper or a clamp. This will protect the stroller from dirt and also prevent things from getting in and out of the bag.
- Easy to carry: There are stroller bags with handles or straps for easy carrying. Some of those we recommend can also be carried like a backpack.
- Storage pouch: A lot of stroller bags come with a storage pouch for putting them away.
- Price: The difference in the prices vary largely. You should consider your budget, the quality, brand-name and other important characteristics of the stroller bag you want to buy. Naturally, anything with high quality is usually a bit expensive but if you are not willing to spend that much, don’t worry. There are great brands that don’t require that you break the bank or add a load of money to your budget in order to get quality. Our selection has great options that can cater to your wants.
- Special features that you may need: Are you getting your money’s worth if you end up buying something that doesn’t have that special feature you need? When buying a stroller bag, keep in mind those special features that you need or want. It could be that you don’t want to take off the stroller’s wheels or maybe you want an expandable stroller bag or one with a safety lock. Doing this will help you make a more satisfactory purchase.
Flying with a stroller: How to gate check your stroller
- Usually, you can either check the stroller at the ticket counter or at the gate. Make sure it’s tagged and remember to place it in a stroller bag before it’s taken.
- If you gate-check your stroller, you will have to go through security with it. You will then fold it and put it through the x-Ray machine. And you can pass carrying the baby or toddler on your arms.
- Once at the boarding gate, you can take the stroller to the plane door but at the point, you fold it and leave it and the airline staff will put it on hold.
- Before leaving. “strip” your stroller down. Remove any cup holders, toys, padding and even the sunshade (depending on the design). Keep whatever you will need in the plane (diapers, water bottle, cuddly toy, etc) and leave the rest of the stuff in the stroller bag (padding, cup holder, accessories, etc). Be sure to have your name and your address on it somewhere and make sure the gate-check tag can still be seen.
- Then, depending on the airline, you will collect it on the jetway (plane’s door) or at the baggage claim. Ask about this!
- If you want to avoid all the gate check-in process you can just buy a compact stroller for air travel and take it with you on board in the overhead compartment.
FAQ
Do you need a bag for a stroller on a plane?
Most airlines don’t make it compulsory but some European airlines such as Air France and KLM do. Anyway, it’s recommended to have a stroller bag because it will protect your buggy from getting damaged, stained or wet during the entire process of taking it to the hold, keeping it in the cargo compartment and taking it to the baggage claim for delivery.
Do airlines provide stroller bags?
Some do. Airlines like United provide big plastic bags but they are limited, so you can’t really count on it that you’ll get one. Other airlines like Southwest sell them (for $17) while some others don’t provide at all.
How do I protect my stroller bags while traveling?
Use a stroller bag. It will protect it from the dirt and filthiness of the airplane hold. A padded stroller bag is the best choice but if that is not available, you can use a big plastic bag or a big laundry bag that is well secured with a bungee cord.
What to do if my stroller is damaged?
Report the damage immediately. Check your stroller thoroughly at the baggage carousel before you leave and report the damage immediately if you see any to prove that the damage was made during the flight. After reporting, you will be required to fill in a damage report.
After filling the damage report, send an email to the claims department with all the details of the break, photos, the stroller tag (the one they put at the gate), and a receipt of the stroller cost. Wait for their response and if you are lucky, you may be reimbursed. The amount paid varies from airline to airline.
Does the airline reimburse you for the damaged stroller?
Most do but some don’t. For example, Southwest Airlines doesn’t take responsibility for any damages.
What is the best stroller bag?
Custom stroller bags are the best. If the stroller doesn’t have one, go for a universal fit bag like the one we recommend. A good stroller bag should also be inexpensive, waterproof, well-padded and have straps.
Do I need a stroller bag for a compact stroller that I’m taking inside the cabin?
It’s best to have one. Even though it can be taken on board, the overhead compartment could be filled up. If there is no space for it in the cabin, it will be taken as checked luggage in the hold.
The verdict
A stroller bag may not be mandatory but it is always good to have one for air travel because it’s going to protect your stroller from getting damaged or dirty.
There is no logic to compromising your investment in a very expensive stroller.
Before getting a stroller bag, you need to put some things into consideration so that you can make a satisfactory purchase.
Considering all the factors that go into purchasing a stroller bag, the Compono stroller bag is highly recommended because of its overall quality. It’s large enough to fit almost all strollers, it’s designed to protect your stroller from dust, dirt, and rain (100% water resistant) and its closure system has a velcro cover flap to keep water and grime from coming in.
Now choose which suits you the most.
