Hi- Has anyone traveled with this? Just wondering how it was getting through airport security.

I have traveled by air two times with this item in my carry on baggage and no problem passing t s a.thay did look but said it was o k

I keep medical items in separate carry on and never had a problem. They may peek inside.

Well I got it for my mom so I just have no idea if she will travel with it but the bag has nothing inside except a big sponge to hold the ice pack but I think it is ok as long as the patient has a prove that he is diabetic.

I took it but didn't use it. The air France flight that I was on had its own footrests. I agree it was heavy and took up needed space in my carry on. My friend (who recommended it) swears by hers.

I doubt you can get by security with it since it's so big, but it's built so well checking isn't an issue. I've taken my guitar on several flights with no problem. One unlisted perk to this case is that it looks *very* similar to traveling gun cases. In fact, multiple TSA reps thought it was a gun case. The reason this matters is that they may treat guitars like crap, but it turns out many of the agents have an affinity for guns/recreational shooting, so they actually treat cases that may be gun cases with extra care.

At one airport (Albany, NY), I had no problem getting through security. In fact, the TSA people told me that it was more about the individual airline's policy than TSA policy. However, on the return flight from Texas, TSA pulled the unit from my carry on bag and scrutinized it for a few minutes and then let it through.

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.

no problems going through tsa, you have to take your lap top out of the bag. it doesnt charge lap tops though, just smaller devices like phones and tablets. great back pack, id buy it again!

It is flight safe. Travelled with this between the States and South America a few times and haven't had any problems.

Yes, took in my backpack on 4 flights so far - no problems at all with Security screening.

You may get by with it, especially in USA airports but when you go to other countries, it will be totally random. We have had small plastic toothpicks, diaper safety pins and various small key ring tools confiscated. I told one official that the 4" pry took had passed through TSA and foreign airport security without question many times...and was told "not a my airport!"

Thank you for responding. Could you please tell me what another option would be? I am thinking about its use while traveling in Asia without personal transportation.

I am currently on a trip and have had zero issues going through TSA. I have already had this for 3 airline trips and not even a question.

I purchased this last year and have flown several times. I've had no problem taking it through security with the packs frozen.

Yes, I was quite concerned about that as I wss taking an internationsl flight with two plane changes. Mine is a twin donkey and too large to be gate checked. A "fragile" tag was attached and it arrived safe and sound. The stroller is securely fadtened eithin the transport which has some insulation. Bon voyage!

Sorry, I have not tried to fly with it. I don't see why it would be a problem, though.

I've not tried to carry this one on the plane, as of yet, but a I did carry on a similar-sized bag to Hawai'i with no trouble at all. I was loaded down with my camera gear, a laptop, jacket, etc. and I had no hassles.

Elliot is correct, it may get scrutinized, I was told it was very dense and the TSA would appreciate it being taken out of your bag and placed separately like a laptop. I started doing that and now have no problem.

What kind of security? TSA? I doubt they will let you take it through airport security. You'd be much better off with something that is obviously medical transport.
