Why Do You Need a Stroller Bag for an Airplane?

You need a stroller bag when travelling on and boarding an airplane for a number of reasons. A stroller bag firstly will ensure that your stroller is protected, being made from strong and durable fabric. The sturdy fabric is what will ensure that your stroller is being kept safe during its travels.

When checking in your suitcases and your stroller into the baggage check-in for it to be stored inside the aircraft’s cabin, you never know just how looked after it will be, or if it will suffer from knocks and tumbles along the way. It is important to protect your stroller to prevent any damages, scuffs or scratches from forming.

A stroller bag is also very convenient for carrying your stroller around, either in the airport or around your holiday destination.

How to Pick a Stroller Bag for an Airplane?

If you are looking for factors to consider when choosing a stroller bag for your stroller when boarding a plane then consider some of the following points listed below.

Handles

Consider how you will carry your stroller whilst it is in its bag. The handles or straps could be backpack style, side strap or front strap. This decision can be entirely down to your preference and how you prefer to carry your stroller bag.

Material

Remember that your stroller bag has got to be durable, sturdy and long-lasting, opt for quality. This will ensure safer travels for your stroller as it is passed around by airport baggage handlers. A stiffer fabric will also be more functional when travelling.

Zips and Stitching

When shopping for your stroller bag, take note of the zip. It should be of strong, high quality and be repellent of dust and dirt that make come your strollers way. A robust zip will also ensure that it will not break when being transported from one location to another.

High-grade stitching is also a good way of telling that your stroller is in a safe and durable bag. This means that the handles and straps will not come away and that it will be longer lasting.

Is it Necessary to Have a Stroller Bag on an Airplane?

A stroller bag is advised as it increases the durability of your stroller. Some airlines may even make having a stroller bag a mandatory requirement for passengers. It is best to check the terms and conditions of your airline before you travel, or as a best practice have a stroller bag anyway as it benefits your stroller and makes it more hard-wearing.

Most airlines will not provide a bag for your stroller, so you should have one purchased before you get to the airport.

Do I Have to Pay to Travel With My Stroller?

Most airlines do not charge for strollers to be carried in the airplane, not counting them as they would a standard suitcase. This is something you would have to check with your airline before you fly to make sure.

If you are checking in your stroller as baggage, you will need a stroller bag, so make sure you have purchased one and bring it with you when travelling on an airplane.
