Hellobee Boards

@Madison43: yes, I also have gate checked the vista but this will be my first time using the rumble. So I’m just curious if the gate check guys will take the rumble and tag it separately. And then, does it get all dirty and janky if I’m not covering it with a bag?

My only other double is a Thule. That doesn’t seem practical. I’ll check out Zoe but really don’t want to spend more money.

@periwinklebee: Thanks for letting me know about this cheap little option. I'm all for cheap options. But one time I went to disneyland with my husband and brought a super cheap stroller becuase I was so scared the nice one would get stolen. Of course the cheap stroller kind of sucked in comparison to the big stroller and I just wished I would have taken the risk and brought the big one. So, here I am now trying to suck it up and take the risk with the big one.

@erinbaderin: Hey! Thank you for letting me know the rumble seat actually fits in the bag!!! Did you have to take the wheels off the stroller to fit it in the bag? And was it all a hassle? This is our issue - we unfortunately have no direct flight anymore to the place we are heading, so there is a layover. We are worried we may have to rush to catch our flight if delays and other stuff make our situation rushed. So thats why we want the stroller - to push the kids quick. If we are having to take it out out of the gate check bag and put it back together --- hmmm.. I guess we could still do that pretty quick.. but please just let me know if you had any issues in this regard.

@Foodnerd81: Did she gate check it or check it with luggage? I don't know if it makes a difference. We gate checked our Cruz a few times, where we used it just with the car seat. We put the car seat in a bag and then just handed the folded up frame plus the bagged car seat to the gate check guys. I didn't care too much if there were any scratches on the frame becuase it was already scratched just by virtue of me using. (I'm a pretty careful person, but are scratches normal, or was it just be not being as careful as I assume I am?)

@PurplePumps: Ugh, yes, this always matters to me. So now you all are making me think about getting the specific bag since I hear it can hold the whole set up. We are also taking a major flight next year when the kids will be 4 and 2. So, I'm sure we will bring the Vista with both seats still if the 4 year old still uses it. Honestly, we almost never use this Vista stroller and I pretty much consider it a wasted purchase. Since having the second baby, I don't even like to go in public much with them in a way that I would need to bring a stroller. Quick outings to wide open spaces is about all I do so using this stroller in general on this trip is already a hassle in my mind.
