Yes, it's very light weight and travel friendly. Once it's folded, there is a strap and you carry it over your shoulder. I have carried my 18 month old and this stroller many times. I love the recline and foot options it has for her.She loves it!

It is pretty comfortable, since you can position baby from laying flat to sit up and everything in between. It is also light weight and has a nice strap to help carrying the stroller. I traveled with one lay over and me and my husband were very pleased with the stroller. Baby was comfy, my baby is 6 mos.

I would say it is. I bought this when my son was 1 and it was perfect for him.

We just used this stroller for traveling with our 6 month old with 1 layover. It was a perfect stroller to get around the airport and quick & easy to fold up for the gate check.

It is very well packed and it is in a box... in the box it might weigh about 6 to 8 pounds if that. Itis very durable. I have a daycare in my home and 2 kids can play in it at a time very comfortablyand they love it. Good Luck on your trip.

I agree with previous reviews. It is not too quite on hard surfaces. I use it mostly for travel when I do not want to carry the regular backpack for hours together. It is the lightest one with wheels, but don't expect to be as light as the ones without wheels - you will be disappointed. The strap needs to be tucked in if you want to roll, so not a fast switch from roll to carry as backpack.

If you want to take onto plane the equivalent to a moderate carry on, that would probable work. Probably more convenient to use hotel roll away for an older child. Our granddaughter was only 2 1/2 and we were staying in a condo. hop

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?

Think of it this way--the mat the baby sleeps on rests on the floor. It's a great travel crib. It's big, it is easy to tote around, the sleeping mat is dense and high quality, and the baby can't hurt him/herself. The mat is low but if it is going to be set up and folded up a lot, it's worth it.

It would all depend on how tall and heavy your child is and how likely they are to make serious attempts to climb out. Our son is a tall 2.5 and we still use it when we travel. While he is starting to fill it out with how tall he is, because it is so deep, he doesn't even think about trying to get his leg over the side or anything. Also, he is quite happy and relaxed sleeping in it so he doesn't really care to get out. I really debated buying this because of the price and the fact that we already had the typical pack n play, but I must say it has made extensive travel for us much more pleasant.

No. It is too small and a bit shaky. I highly recommend a Phil & Teds travel crib. A bit more expensive but I was able to use the Phil & teds until my baby was 3. Years old. Got my money's worth out of it.

my son sleeps on the toddler side and it is a bit softer after some use but still firm, not to soft at all. the single stage is infant side firm not toddler softer, just learned that with my 1yo when I got hers.

I don't think the mattress is firm enough for a new born baby to sleep on at night. I got this for travel and it works perfect but it is soft. I can fold the mattress in half its so soft.

It worked fine for us and we travel a lot. we've used it with our son between the ages of 1.5 and 3 and it was great! A little cumbersome with detaching and reattaching but worth it. Good luck!

It's very comfy you learn how to wrap it quite easily. It's comfortable for you and baby. Good as a hip carrier however I stopped using mine at around 7 months of age for my daughter since she grew out of it. I'm sure it would be great for a toddler. I don't recommend it as a back carrier though.

Yes I feel it's very padded and comfy for my kiddos. We have a britax as well and they're comparable.

It's not ideal for a newborn unless you've got the infant swaddled and "padded" so there's no room for rolling. I used the Chicca Travel set mostly because of easy travel to shopping etc..I started using this stroller when she was about 4 months old with lots of padding around her. Great stroller though. smooth, compact and light! Good Luck!

I would say yes, but it may be rock hard. If you don't think they will mind then I say go for it. We took our daughter flying at 8 months and all she wanted to do was talk to everyone and walk. Hope you get yours to sleep! Worst that happens is they don't sleep well on it and you know not to inflate it for the flight home.

Yes it is light weight and easy to move . I bought it for my son and he loves it.

I have traveled with the carseat and alone with a 2-3 yr old, both internationally and domestically. Now, I'm a pretty strong woman, but it's not very joyful carrying this over your back along with carry on bag, stroller, kid, backpack, and or whatever you choose to bring with you. It does not come with the back straps, they have to be purchased separately (I purchased on amazon) and they have about a 6 inch long padding strip (which is very minimally padded). My daughter is 3 now and I have no plans to travel anytime soon, but if I do I'll be checking in the seat, not bringing it on the plane. Now, the seat itself is incredible, it's fits on any airline seat, its comfortable, safe, amazing quality. Although I can't really give a great experience traveling with this seat, I do have to say it is and was a lot easier than when I used to have to travel with a regular carseat. It is also alot easier if you are traveling with an adult companion (I've always traveled alone with toddler with this seat), and can find a way to add a little extra padding to the strap, then you will be golden! Hope this helps!
