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.

    • Adding my recommendation for Niko too. Found his number on here and he came out at short notice on a busy weeknight to help us with a kitchen sink issue that had flooded our kitchen that day. Really helpful, responsive and went out of his way to fit us in and help us out. Very reasonably priced too - would thoroughly recommend!
    • Looks like it! Though according to the OP, they are "golden, hand-crimped parcels  packed with flavour" 😀 I don't understand. Admittedly my brain is functioning at a very low level at the moment. Does that mean various local shops get together and agree to offer a discount to anyone who shows them a receipt from one of the other ones dated the same day? I can't see what's in it for either of them, unless people shop somewhere they wouldn't otherwise have done just to get the discount. Is it for vaguely  linked things, say cheese from a cheese shop, wine from another shop? Showing my age there.  And then suppose it's always the same shop which people go to second to get the discount? What's in it for the first shop? People go there in order to get the discount in the second shop?
    • Local (especially independent) businesses should do like Wheelers Oyster Bar in Whitstable and offer a discount to anyone who can show them a receipt from Chacarero dated the same day.
    • Aria was great, he managed to come the same day after what had turned out to be a pretty long day at work and fix a really bad blocked pipe that needed to be resolved as soon as practicable. He’s lovely, professional and really helpful. I would recommend it to anyone looking for a reliable plumber in the area. Thanks Aria!
