Has anyone taken it on a flight? Is there an extra charge for weight?

@R. Martin, most airlines charge by size and not weight. In addition to any checked baggage fee, there's usually a surcharge for bags measuring more than 62 linear inches (length + width + thickness). Note that some airlines overlook or waive the surcharge, especially for those fliers with special frequent flier status.

I have. However I've read that American Airlines is the only airline who won't gate check a stroller heavier than 20 pounds. I guess I'll find out soon because we booked a trip with AA. And I am going to take this stroller. No problem with any other airlines I've travelled (United, Delta)

never taken this on a flight, so I have not checked on airline limitations. Sorry I can not help with this question

I don't know how much it weighs but there is no way you are getting it on an airplane. When it is rolled up and tied it is taller than me (I'm 6 feet) and about as wide as me, too.

Officially it exceeds the max airline bag dimensions by 10" ...but I managed to get mine checked in for a flight to Europe with Swiss international. I had to make sure it stays below the maps weight and the only checked bag so they allowed me to take it along for free. What I did is to ask before booking the flight and then select another carrier if they would have charged me 150$ for it each way!

i have the queen size and i wouldn't take it on a plane, it's pretty heavy. (don't know exactly, but my guess would be at least 25+ pounds.

It may depend on the airline. I took an international flight and the weight limit for the pet and carrier combined couldn't exceed 8 kg (17.8#). Lufthansa actually weighed it. My 13# dog barely made it.

Hi - I own this unit and it's pretty good. I would not take it on a plane - it's awkward even folded up - the handle sticks out - I think you'd find it a real pain to try and fit - no flex.

We have used ours multiple times flying internationally. No extra fees, no problems at all. We use zip ties around the handles to close it and have never had them come open. One has a small hole where the bottom corner was crushed, but again, they have flown 4 or 5 times and that is all the damage. I would recommend them to anyone.

I believe it did say you can take it on a airline...depending which one. The size I got (large) will not fit under the seat. Hope this helps.

Check out the Cosco Scenera. It's super lightweight. The only issue I've found using it on the plane is that you have to be in the bulkhead seats to rear-face it but other than that it's a great, cheap, lightweight seat. I think it weighs about 8 or 9 lbs and depending on the version you get it's between $40 and $60 so you can't get cheaper.

The dimensions and the weight are detailed in the product (Product Dimensions 46 x 35 x 34 inches, 30.6 pounds). It's a rather slim box for the weight. My sister got in on a plane from NY to South America, and didn't have any problems, it just fitted both in size and weight as a common luggage, didn't have to pay anything extra.

I have no way to verify weight. It is very light. I carry it in my carry on and feel no added weight.

In my opinion, it will give you adequate padding (what is enough?), and is easily transportable. I would definitely consider taking it on a flight.

Actual weight is 6lb 4oz.I have loaded it so it weighted over 25lb as carry on.

It weighs almost 10 pounds. The last time we flew, I put it in my carry-on. You can just use it as a carry-on if you don't need another one. It comes with a bag with a strap.

I have not taken it on an airplane; only to and from the field. It is quite large; I'm guessing there would be a baggage fee.
