Can you "gate check" any size stroller at the gate prior to departure?
I just recently bought a Especially for Kids TrendSport Stroller which folds down instead of long ways and was curious if I would have any issues when I try and "gate check" it when we fly. Its light weight its just that folds downward.
I'm a former Flight Attendant and although the airlines officially have limits, people bring strollers that are over them all the time and no one says anything. In 13 years of being a Flight Attendant, I never saw a stroller refused for gate-check because of size.
Since many people gate-check large jogging and/or double strollers, and this is neither, I wouldn't worry. Compared to what you'll see in the airport, this is a very small stroller!
Just some tips on gate-checking;
-Before leaving home, "strip" it of any unneeded cup holders, toys, etc. Even the sunshade, depending on the model. Put it in your checked bags if it's bulky.
-Protect any foam handles by either bagging the whole stroller, wrapping the handles themselves or even removing the foam, if you can.
-Before leaving it at the door, attach the straps and bring a bungee cord to double secure your stroller. Often, they only have a flimsy clasp which can come open and your stroller could get damaged if it pops open en route. Put the bungee cord over the bag, if you choose to bag your stroller (recommended in bad weather).
-Have your name and address somewhere on the stroller
-Make sure the gate-check tag can be seen when folded. You may want to put it on your stroller yourself or direct them as to where.
Get the instructions on where they will deliver it. U.S. companies are good about depositing the gate-checked items at the door of the aircraft but in some parts of the world, you have to get it down at baggage claim, which can be a long walk even for a good walker! You may want to bring a soft carrier (the good ones go to age 2 or 3, front packs not recommended).
Have a good flight!
