I did end up taking the Double Bob stroller...and it was a whole lot of trouble! We made the most of it but it was definitely not worth the hassle! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-it-wise-to-bring-a-bob-double-stroller-for-traveling#post-2716499 Sun, 26 Mar 2017 18:29:19 +0000 oliviaoblivia 2716499@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wouldn't bring a double Bob on a plane. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-it-wise-to-bring-a-bob-double-stroller-for-traveling#post-2716482 Sun, 26 Mar 2017 17:36:28 +0000 sapphire 2716482@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I live near Seattle and can't imagine ever hiking with a stroller, esp a double one. Trails are narrow, bumpy and have lots of branches/roots in the way. I'd bring a lightweight stroller for the city and not bring a stroller hiking (walk or carry kids). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-it-wise-to-bring-a-bob-double-stroller-for-traveling#post-2716464 Sun, 26 Mar 2017 15:35:09 +0000 mrsmacSLP 2716464@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>living near Seattle, I'd plan to either carry your children or have them walk. Trails are typically narrow and can usually barely handle a single<br /> Bob stroller. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-it-wise-to-bring-a-bob-double-stroller-for-traveling#post-2716452 Sun, 26 Mar 2017 15:00:16 +0000 2littlepumpkins 2716452@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We brought a single BOB one time and it was a lot. We had the same reason and I don't think it even panned out for naps.</p> <p>I don't know what it would cost to check it in but I definitely wouldn't bring it through the TSA line/ gate check. I don't know why but every parent I have ever seen with double strollers in the TSA line takes forever and looks totally confused. (I travel monthly for work.) But maybe that's just my luck, who knows. :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-it-wise-to-bring-a-bob-double-stroller-for-traveling#post-2716425 Sun, 26 Mar 2017 13:36:45 +0000 Mrs. Goose 2716425@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The double bob is such a beast, I would really try to avoid bringing it if possible! I'm not sure how that would go for being on a plane too because it's heavy, so I don't know what they would charge extra? And like others have mentioned, it would be annoying to bring it and have it not fit in vehicle or wherever you will be travelling. I know it can fit in most vehicles as long as you detach wheels, but it's still a pain when it's a smaller vehicle. I never fold mine up right now, just use it for walks from my home. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-it-wise-to-bring-a-bob-double-stroller-for-traveling#post-2716422 Sun, 26 Mar 2017 13:13:39 +0000 mrsbookworm 2716422@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wouldn't travel with a double Bob. It's difficult to fit in a lot cars, especially if you have other baggage. I don't know where you're staying, but the Bob can also be difficult to fit through doorways </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-it-wise-to-bring-a-bob-double-stroller-for-traveling#post-2716410 Sun, 26 Mar 2017 12:22:59 +0000 yoursilverlining 2716410@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would never bring my single BOB while traveling; too heavy! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-it-wise-to-bring-a-bob-double-stroller-for-traveling#post-2716409 Sun, 26 Mar 2017 12:12:09 +0000 Emsmems 2716409@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't think I would bring the BOB. So big and bulky for just a trip. Unless your trip is revolving around the hiking. Do you think you are going to do that much? Are the trails even wide enough for a double BOB? They wouldn't be where I live, everyone uses backpack type carriers. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-it-wise-to-bring-a-bob-double-stroller-for-traveling#post-2716328 Sat, 25 Mar 2017 23:55:50 +0000 Mrs. Pizza 2716328@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We haven't traveled enough with two to really know, so please share your advice. What are your thoughts on bringing a BOB double stroller for our flight to Seattle? We have a Joovy tandem double stroller which is much lighter, but harder to steer and not ideal for hikes. The girls enjoy the BOB better and it would be nicer if we do longer hikes (but won't be doing anything too lengthy anyway). I still have to look into the car we are using as well to make the decision. My husband and I can't seem to agree on this. I'm thinking lighter and more compact (tandem) is better and he's thinking BOB will be a better choice because kids will nap better and it will be better for hikes. I agree, but still....is it wise to travel with something so big?? Are there certain rules for certain airlines about weight of stroller? </p>
