Can this be easily checked-in as luggage when traveling by plane? Any tips?

It sure can. I travelled with it and I took it straight to the plane door. When I came off it was right the waiting for me. The only thing I did was take it a part and folded it up (which I did with one hand), so to answer your question yes.

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.

Don't see why you couldn't check it in with baggage but not a chance as carry on.

I think it'd be much too big to bring as a carry on. I'm not sure I'd trust baggage handlers. I mean, it is pretty durable, but I've seen the way they pitch stuff around. It's durable plastic but still plastic. It's withstood us beating the crap out of it for 5 months.

It is designed to be a check in. You wouldn't need this kind of case for a carry on you would just use your regular case. Sometimes the airlines let them on and sometimes that don't!

I haven't actually flown with my bag, but I see no reason why it would not work fine as a carry-on. It would be best to ask someone who knows all the ins and outs of air carrier rules. Sorry I cannot be of more help.

Your best bet would be to take it out of the box and put into your checked bag, then split clothes and other things between checked bag and your carry on.

Question for the 2 people who answered, "Yes": Yes it can be taken on flights as a check in or Yes it has prohibited items per TSA?

I have used it before as a carry-on. Both domestic and international flights. You can unzip the daypack and have that as your "personal" bag.

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!

I have travelled with this case in the overhead compartments. Bear in mind that different airlines and indeed even different planes allow different size cabin luggage. I have had to put it in the hold on small planes (Dash 8) but they put that in individually, luggage was collected from me on the Tarmac and returned to me on the Tarmac, not actually checked luggage. On the larger planes it is no problem but you have to watch your weight limit!

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.

We used it at the gate, but I don't see why you couldn't check it as a bag. We used our stroller to traverse the airport and then packed it up in this carrier when we boarded the plane. I didn't really want to check my stroller in a bag or not because of how rough they handle luggage.

Cant remember dimensions exactly, but it is about as big as a small carry on suitcase. So it can certainly be checked in.

I checked it in becasue I had a lot of luggage, but I think you could carry it on too.

Definitely not, especially with how much airport security has beefed up. You could probably leave it in the checked luggage though.

I've taken it on an airplane many times as a personal item. No questions asked. Just don't take a purse. Put the purse IN the backpack. In other words, you can have a carry on AND this backpack, no problems :-)
