Stroller in a hand luggage. Does it worth?

The answer to the questions of whether or not to pay for a stroller, whether or not to take it in hand luggage depends on

• the age of your baby;
• the comfort level for the baby and parents.

From the UIA (Ukrainian International Airlines) website: 

“Any type of baby stroller can be transported free of charge if it is used for the carriage of infants under 2 years of age.

If a baby stroller is not used for infant carriage, or it is used for the carriage of a child over 2 years old, a charge is applied if, with other baggage, the stroller exceeds the established free checked baggage allowance per class of service. 

You may walk with your child in your stroller of any type all the way to the aircraft door.

Large baby strollers must be transported as checked baggage. You will get your baby stroller back right after arrival at the airport of destination”.

END OF QUOTATION AND CONCLUSIONS

1. If you are travelling light-handed (which is not often the case with children :), then it makes sense to take a stroller, which will fit the hand luggage size requirements. Double check the sizes allowed in hand luggage and choose the stroller which fits this size. Remember, please, in that case, you can not always provide maximum comfort for young passenger and yourself.

2. If you have the baggage so just take a comfortable stroller for travel. Easy, reliable, convenient, with a big sleeping place for baby and a big hood. By the way, on high-quality brands, the fabrics are waterproof, the hoods are large, which means you do not need maybe take rain cover with you. Well, except that you are flying in the rainy season to the Maldives, or even much further, then yes. Better with a rain cover :)

Have a good journey!
