The stroller we hate check without a bag is a second hand Maclaran umbrella stroller. We bring that when we are going somewhere we don't need a car seat. Now that DD is almost out of the infant seat, I'm not sure what we will do next time we fly somewhere (maybe check our car seat in its box and gate check the Maclaren???). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-i-need-a-stroller-bag-when-traveling-by-air#post-1274570 Wed, 11 Dec 2013 17:14:20 +0000 Foodnerd81 1274570@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@septca: What kind of stroller and car seat-- umbrella? Infant seat or convertible? I'm trying to figure out what we need for our car seat and snap and go stroller base, but I'm pretty sure DH has an extra golf bag (the first one will be full of actual golf clubs). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-i-need-a-stroller-bag-when-traveling-by-air#post-1274559 Wed, 11 Dec 2013 17:10:44 +0000 septca 1274559@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We use the bag my husband uses to check his golf clubs. It fits both our stroller and car seat so neither gets banged up or dirty during gate check. When we travel with our umbrella stroller, we don't use a bag - and I have seen gate agents drag it across the ground. :sad: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-i-need-a-stroller-bag-when-traveling-by-air#post-1274544 Wed, 11 Dec 2013 17:02:46 +0000 looch 1274544@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have a Quinny zapp, it comes with a bag and it folds do small you can carry it on if you need to. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-i-need-a-stroller-bag-when-traveling-by-air#post-1274539 Wed, 11 Dec 2013 17:00:38 +0000 JerricaBenton 1274539@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I used one. They are very inexpensive on Amazon. I was worried about wear &amp; tear and general filth, lol. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-i-need-a-stroller-bag-when-traveling-by-air#post-1274328 Wed, 11 Dec 2013 15:25:23 +0000 MamaMoose 1274328@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@bunnylove08: Southwest! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-i-need-a-stroller-bag-when-traveling-by-air#post-1274325 Wed, 11 Dec 2013 15:24:31 +0000 SugarplumsMom 1274325@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When we traveled internationally last Feb, I ended up taking the umbrella stroller home with us. I've read that it gets pretty beat up, so I wrapped 2 soft blankets grandma got for DD around it with 2 trash bags over it. I packed it tight with tape everywhere so it was obvious it was a stroller. It worked perfectly! I especially loved how I was able to take the blankets home without wasting precious luggage space. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-i-need-a-stroller-bag-when-traveling-by-air#post-1274321 Wed, 11 Dec 2013 15:20:05 +0000 bunnylove08 1274321@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MamaMoose: Wow thats really nice which airline did you fly? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-i-need-a-stroller-bag-when-traveling-by-air#post-1274316 Wed, 11 Dec 2013 15:19:33 +0000 bunnylove08 1274316@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@luckypenny: I thought about that but DD hates those strollers. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-i-need-a-stroller-bag-when-traveling-by-air#post-1274298 Wed, 11 Dec 2013 15:12:20 +0000 MamaMoose 1274298@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>In your case, I wouldn't. We have an UB Vista and we fly A LOT so we bought a travel bag. But for a stroller that you'll only fly with once that wasn't a huge investment, I wouldn't worry about it. The gate agents have always been really respectful of our stuff. Once when I was struggling alone with LO the CAPTAIN ran down to the tarmac to get the stroller for me! I thought that was pretty sweet. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-i-need-a-stroller-bag-when-traveling-by-air#post-1274247 Wed, 11 Dec 2013 14:51:23 +0000 luckypenny 1274247@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't think so. If it was a super nice Bugaboo or something, then I probably would. But one I plan on leaving somewhere not to be used much anyway? No.</p> <p>Have you thought about just picking up an umbrella stroller at babies r us for $15. Thats what we did when we went to IL's. That way, if it was broken during flight, no big deal. </p> <p><a href="http://www.toysrus.com/product/index.jsp?productId=22963406&#038;cp=2255957.2273443.2256189.2256203&#038;parentPage=family" rel="nofollow">http://www.toysrus.com/product/index.jsp?productId=22963406&#038;cp=2255957.2273443.2256189.2256203&#038;parentPage=family</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-i-need-a-stroller-bag-when-traveling-by-air#post-1274210 Wed, 11 Dec 2013 14:36:53 +0000 bunnylove08 1274210@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH, DD and I will be visiting my father in Flordia this coming January. We're super excited since it will be her first time visiting Disney World. </p> <p>For all you jet setting bees, do I need a travel bag for our stroller. We're getting a second hand Phil and Ted Smart stroller and I was thinking of leaving it in FL so we dont have to drag around a stroller with us on future trips. Do i need a travel bag for the stroller? Will the stroller get pretty banged up if I gate check it? </p>
