Hi

We're taking a short flight from gatwick this week and I want to take the carrycot since my baby uses this for naps during day. Has anyone had any issues taking this bit of the pram on flights? Worried it'll get wrecked or the airline want to charge extra since it doesn't collapse down like the chassis.

Hi


We have flown with ours a number of times, we were never charged extra but were also concerned about the airline wrecking it, particularly as it is not attached to the frame, so got the Bugaboo wheeled transport bag. A bit pricey, but worth it, as they really protect it. You might be able to find a website that does next day delivery.

Hi ya!


Not too sure this will help but my hubby and I flew a couple of times with our little one but opted for a cheaper stroller as a travel pram for the same reason...I was worried my brand new SX and carry cot (which can be flat packed)will get wrecked when loaded onto the plane. We flew BA and saw a few carry cots at the airport which meant that people happily travel with them however seeing the state of our pram at the other end...glad we didn't ;(

We too used the travel bag several times for the chameleon and carry cot and didn't have any problems. It's just classified as oversized luggage. Our son also slept well in the cot so was well worth taking on the few long haul flights we dragged it on. Good luck.

Yes, big mistake as it wasn't in a travel bag and came back damaged with bits missing

Was also a right pain to fold and unfold to go through x ray etc

Always travel with a cheap pram or invest in a travel bag but then you don't get it back until you get to your luggage

I think I'll need to get a transport bag since we're flying long haul in a couple of months. Would the bugaboo transport bag also fit the carrycot, or is it just meant for the frame? From the pics it doesn't look like I could cram the carrycot in it too
Yes bugaboo transport bag fits frame/chassis and carry cot. The carry cot has to be flattened. My husband practiced once to get the hang of it before going to the airport and having to do it under duress. It fits quite snuggly around the larger wheels, but the bag is generous enough to carry other bits and bobs as well.

    • The purge of hard left members that were part of Corbyn's, Mcdonnel's and Lansmans momentum that purged the party of right wing and centrist members. That's politics. It's what Blair did to win, its what Starmer had to do to win. This country doesn't vote in extreme left or right governments. That's partly why Corbyn lost  We're pretty much a centrist bunch.  It doesn't make it false either. It's an opinion based on the voting patterns, demography and statistics. Can you explain then why former mining constituencies that despise the tories voted for them or abstained rather than vote for Corbyns Labour?  What is the truth then? But he never got elected!!! Why? He should have been binned off there and then. Why he was allowed to hang about is an outrage. I hold him party responsible for the shit show that we've had to endure since. 
    • Depends on what the Barista says doesnt it? There was no physical confrontation with the driver, OP thinks she is being targetted when she isnt. These guys work min wage under strict schedules so give them a break unless they damage your stuff
    • CPR Dave, attendance records are available on Southwark's website. Maggie Browning has attended 100% of meetings. Jon Hartley has attended 65%.
    • I do hope NOT, wouldn't trust Farage as far as I could throw him, Starmer & co.  He's backed by GB News which focus's predominantly on immigration while the BBC focus predominantly on the Israel - Gazza conflict.
