Can it be folded/unfolded whilst holding a toddler in one arm? Maybe using a hand and a foot? I need something practical for airports alone w/toddler.

I was able to open and close the stroller while holding my baby. She's 11 months. I bought this specifically for traveling and it worked out great. Just practice opening and closing it first so you know exactly how it works.

Honestly I need both hands to fold it up. I have to squeeze the sides to get it to lock in place. I've seen video of other people closing it without the squeeze but neither my husband or I have been able to do it.

You need both hands to fold it and it is very unpractical even with both hands. Unnfolding can with one hand/ foot but it is still hard.

In my opinion no! Even you just need a hand and a foot it is necessary another hand to securely folded it. Otherwise you may fall. Besides, it is necessary the full upright position to fold this stroller. It is easy to use but hard and unsafe with a toddler in one arm.

I have not personally taken it on the airplane. It folds up easily but it is very big compared to other strollers. If you are going to be walking or going for a jog I would take it along. It is great for going off roading, if there are not any sidewalks

You flip up the sides of the car seat adapter(s) -leaving them attached- and then the whole stroller will fold up. We use ours with two adapters because we had twins. It's a great stroller- very easy to use and manouver and not too terribly heavy.

On the website they state the design is for child at least 1 year old. I guess this is due to some assumption about the muscle strength and coordination required to use this safely. So you probably need to bring a car seat that is approved for air travel - it's a pain but not sure what other options you have. The airline might be able to rent you a safety seat?

Yes, you can fold and unfold with one hand. I love it because I can have my baby on my hip with one hand, and with my other hand take the stroller out of the trunk and flip it open (or close it and throw it in the trunk). So handy.And yes, it does stand up on its own when folded, you just have to know which end is the piece that it can stand on (you'll see it easily when you get it).The basket is super sturdy, when my baby was small and I needed to go grocery shopping I would just throw my groceries underneath for easier shopping. I've put milk, bottled water, all kinds of stuff (basically half a shopping cart worth) under there with no problem for over a year. Yes, you can fold and unfold with one hand.

I have a Baby Jogger City Mini and it doesn't have to be removed to fold up. I'm not sure if it would be different for other strollers.

I've not taken on an international flight, but I took it on a domestic flight and it barely fit -- this was a small plane with only two seats on each side of the aisle. It doesn't fold or compress easily so it wont fit under a seat, but it would fit in an overhead bin. I did enjoy having it on the plane because it provided a firm supportive surface for my baby to sleep with out requiring me to support him with my arms.

It doesn't really fold. The base swivels up FORWARD, which is a little hard to do, and that's it. So it keeps being bulky, and it won't stand by itself when folded. Also, there's no latch, so the base is loose in that position. We just have it standing all the time. Our 2 year old still uses it, though, and loves it.

Depends on how your toddler is. I started using it with my son at 23 months. The decision didn't have to do with age or weight, it was just his age when we first purchased him his own seat. I wouldn't hesitate to use it for my daughter who is currently 20 months. I don't know her weight, but it's about the same as your child. I find this much easier to use than lugging a car seat through the airport. It's guaranteed to fit in the plane seat, which isn't always true for regular car seats. One warning, you have to distract the child from the plane belt buckle. At first, they want to keep undoing the seatbelt. My son got over it rather quickly (or I flipped the buckle so he couldn't lift the flap). Depends on how your toddler is. I started using it with my son at 23 months.

As much as I love this stroller, it cannot fold for travel. You can break it down but it's really not meant for quick fold and go.I think there are some out there that have that feature but of course they are a bit more in price.

Well, it's made of foam so it's pretty pliable. I'd say it could be folded in half. I just used mine on a bus trip a week ago. I stuffed it into my bag and it "fluffed out" nicely.

Not for travel. This is large and cumbersome, it does not fold. We used it for 5 months in our mini pack-n-play and removed it when baby was outgrowing the height setting with it in. I would not use again. It's not as soft as bedding packnplay comes with, which does fold easily for travel.

It can not be folded at all. With larger foot and spring I think laying it diagonal in a large enough suitcase might be awkward as well. See height measurements. However, I've traveled extensively w this and it fits fine in overhead bin

When we lived overseas, I used to bring it on our trips home for my son. I had a car seat travel bag by Eddie Bauer and I could put the aerobed in the car seat and both in the bag and zip it up. If you went to the bother of folding it flat, you could probably get it in a traditional rectangle suitcase, but it would have to be at least a 26inch suitcase (I think). The motor is not large, no bigger than a football - so it is mostly in how you fold the rest of it.

No. For safety reasons, you have to pull latches with both hands. You wouldn't want to accidentally have it fold with your little one in it. That said, it takes literally 2 seconds to fold once you pull the latches.

As the others have said, it folds. It's very useful, but a bit awkward for tiny person like me (4'11") to set up alone. I rely on taller family members to do it.

Personally, although this is my number one way of transporting my baby, I would be reluctant to bring it on an airplane. It is a little too big, and not flexible to try and fit under a seat.
