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.

    • That a shocking story.  Spurs?  You appear to be lost.  Haringey is very much the other side of the river.  
    • Every year they ask for more and every year it is an exhausting process pushing back on that for local residents and councillors. What annoys me is that at the post event consultation/ feedback this year, I specifically asked them if the rumours around applying for two weekends next year were true. They told me no. So that was a lie. Anyway, we go again.

    • Rant ahead: You're not one of them but unfortunately, there's a substrate of posters here that do very little except moan and come up with weird conspiracy theories. They're immediately highly critical of just about any change, and their initial assumption is that everyone else is a total fucking contemptible idiot. For example: don't you think that the people who run the libraries will have considered the impact of timing of reconstruction on library users? (In fact, we know they have - because they've made arrangements at other libraries to attempt to mitigate the disruption). After all, these are the people that spend their whole working week thinking about libraries and dealing with library users (and the kids especially). You don't go into the library game for the chicks and fame - so it's fair to assume that librarians are committed to public service and public access to libraries, including by kids. Likewise the built environment people (engineers, architects, construction managers, project managers, construction contractors, subcontractors or whoever is on this job) are told to minimise disruption on every job they do. The thing that occurs to us as amateurs within 30 seconds of us seeing something is probably not something a full time professional hasn't thought about! Southwark Council, the NHS, TfL, Dulwich Estate, Thames Water, Openreach - they're not SPECTRE factories filled with malevolent chaosmongers trying to persecute anyone. They're mostly filled with people who understand their job and try to do their best with what they've been given - just like all of us. Nobody is perfect or immune from challenge, and that's fair enough, but why not at least start from the assumption that there's a good reason why things have been done the way they have? Any normal person would be pleased that their busy, pretty, lively local library is getting refurbished, and will have more space and facilities for kids and teens, and will be more efficient to run and warmer in winter. But no, EDT_Forumite_752 had kids who did an exam 20 years ago, and this makes them an expert on library refurbishment who can see it's all just stuff and nonsense for the green agenda and why can't it all be put off... 😡😡😡
