What is a Stroller?

You might be wondering what a stroller is and how it differs from pushchairs and other travel devices.

Well, strollers are particularly light compared to other models for babies and toddlers. This makes them extremely easy to manage and manoeuvre around, making them ideal for when out and about and also when travelling via airplane.

What Makes a Stroller Good for Air Travel?

To invest in the best stroller suitable for air travel, it is worth knowing what features will come in handy when you are travelling by airplane.

Lightweight

First, having a lightweight stroller for airplane travel is essential in order to lift it successfully onto the plane, up and down stairs, and even in the overhead compartment inside the aircraft.

Foldable, Compact Design

Being able to fold your stroller down to a compact size is an absolute must when travelling by airplane. Without a foldable device for your baby, you simply will not be able to fly.

A stroller has a compact fold, with the best strollers should be small enough to take on board with you. This is useful when travelling with young ones, as you can use your stroller around the airport to cart your little one around, which is perfect for when your toddler gets tired.

Reclining Seat

A reclining seat lets your little one rest in the most comfortable position, allowing them to relax and have a nap whenever they need to.

This is ideal for airports and air travel when you could be flying at odd times when your little one is not used to being awake. Getting the opportunity to sleep whenever they can is essential for keeping them happy.

Adjustable Footrest

An adjustable footrest is also great for the comfort of your child. It will support the legs and feet and is good for when a toddler has fallen asleep, helping them to lay in a flatter position.

Useful Accessories

Stroller accessories can come in very handy when travelling via airplane and during your time spent in airports.

Think about stroller bags, cup holders, cover bags, travel bags, seat cushions, and many more things that can make your airport experience and journey abroad a little bit easier and more manageable.

The Best Strollers for Airplanes

There are many stroller models out there. You can read about some of the best models for airplanes down below.

BABYZEN Yoyo2

The Yoyo design can enable your baby to lie flat or to sit outward-facing. The pros of this device include an easily foldable design that can be used with one hand fold and a lightweight frame that can be suitable for newborns.

The cons of this device include separate packs, including a newborn pack that is sold separately, and this is an expensive model to begin with before you add on any of the extra packs.

Silver Cross Zest

This travel device features a simple and easy design. The seat of this stroller can be laid flat, meaning it can be used and is suitable from birth, although many parents prefer their newborn to be parent-facing rather than outward-facing.

The compact design of this one, however, may not be as compact as some of its competitors, and it will most likely have to be gate checked-in as suitcase baggage when you travel by airplane.

Bugaboo Butterfly

The Bugaboo Butterfly is a compact travel stroller, making it easy to travel with and fit in the overhead bin on airplanes. It is also car seat compatible, features an all-wheel suspension, and is reversible - you can choose which way your baby faces.

Some of the downsides to this model include that it is pricey and one of the heavier models, which might not be the most convenient model for parents, and it is definitely not one of the most affordable devices out there.

Finding the best stroller is not a one size fits all situation. You will need to find one that works for you and your family while also being ideal for air travel. It is a task that will involve a lot of research.
