Has anyone traveled on a plane with this? Can they check it when boarding to go with the strollers?

You can't gate check this. Not because of the product; because only strollers and car seats are "exclusion" items that don't count toward any bag limits and can both be gate checked. This is too big to classify as a carry-on bag that could be gate-checked as well. Nor would you want to lug this heavy thing through the airport. It can be checked with regular luggage at the ticketing counter.

If the airline allows gatechecked pack n plays, then yes. But think twice about toting this to the gate. It it VERY heavy! We traveled with it and Southwest curbside checked it for us at no charge (in addition to our two bags per passenger). Buy a gate check bag, though, to protect it - it will get tossed around. But allow me to reiterate - it is HEAVY!

I haven't tried air travel with the stroller yet. I would be surprised if you were allowed to take it on board. It would probably go into the cargo area with baby strollers ??? Suggestion---call the airlines.

The stroller comes in a large box, but it has a shallow depth. Large height and width, but it is slimmer because you have to assemble the stroller. I know people do bring strollers on airplanes with them. I have seen special carrier cases that you can buy specifically for checking it as luggage. You may want to call the airport and ask.

Hello,I have heard on some rare occasions that an airline will allow this on the plane, but I would not count on that. They will be happy to gate check it for you though.Thanks!

Just for reference: I have traveled with this stroller within the U.S. And internationally. Both times I was able to bring it to the gate. On one of the flights, they tried to tell me that I would need to check it, but I had mine of it! And they allowed me to bring it to the gate.

If your talking about taking the car seat and stroller to the plane door and letting them store underneath plane. Yes we did last year, but check with the airline your flying some I heard wont. Car seat and stroller don't fold up together so it's 2 items

When I bought mine, there was a list of strollers from the manufacturer. If I remember correctly, the manufacturer of the buggy board rated stroller "fit?" Check the manufacturer's website.

Yep. I have the stroller too and I love the set. It's easy to use and makes a great travel system for infant and an older child.

It is well worth buying, by the way. It really protects the stroller when flying, from all the mud and dirt and rain during transport. I got mine all dirty, on a trip to Mexico couple months ago, and it wasn't even bad weather. But the stroller was perfectly clean. The bag you just wash with some soap and water. It's really great, wise investment.

No, we have always had to check-in with the rest of our luggage. It is too large to go through TSA scanner. I am not even sure it was designed for gate checking.

When we traveled with my mother's rolling walker the airline took it right at the door to the plane, like a baby stroller, and brought it back when the plane landed. Perhaps you should contact the airline? It certainly can be checked baggage.

My wife, 2kids (ages 3 and 7 months at the time) flew from TX to CA in June of 2012. We were very glad to have the stroller. It kept both kids contained when needed and was easy when she needed to get down. The plane ride was no more difficult than taking a single stroller. If renting a car you do need to get a SUV or a car with a full size trunk.

We traveled with ours and it was easy. The stroller folds up quickly and was easy to maneuver through security. We chose to gate check and enjoyed having it available at our layover. The stroller held up well and has no damage from the travels.

I only have checked it in at the airport. But I know I could have gate checked my bugaboo in this transport bag. I have also seen people just gate check their bugaboo cameleon without the transport bag.

We didn't use it on a plane, but according to the Britax website and the booklet came with it, it won't be difficult to install. We use the Britax carseat bag and checked in at gate along with our stroller, both didn't count as extra luggage. The bag also can be carry like a backpack, it was light and easy to carry. The Carseat bag also could fit a toddler potty seat from IKEA. So it worked perfectly for us.

I doubt the airline would allow it given the size of the bag with the stroller in it. They have no problem checking the bag as a stroller but it is likely too big to gate-check. We have the Donkey and it is very large. We have to completely disassemble the stroller at home, check it in, and reassemble when we reach our destination. Once checked, we just carry our son (7 months old) to the gate. That said, we always take it on vacation with us and the stroller is completely protected. We are also able to put in the Ergo and some blankets in the extra space at the top. Hope that helps.

I would call the Airline you are traveling on and ask. I took it through security and didn't have any problem, but things change all the time.
