Does this stroller fit in the JL Childress umbrella stroller travel bag? Or any other durable bag to be gate-checked for a flight?

P.S. I used this as one of my travel strollers. Although the handling isn't amazing (low price), I found it very convenient for the airport and at my destinations. I really like the large basket in the bottom and the snack tray for your child (often things you cannot get with an umbrella stroller).

Katie, I am not sure the size of the "JL Childress umbrella stroller travel bag" but its size quite small and probably closer to the umbrella size when you fold it. We recently traveled to India and did gate checked in. Light in weight so you can easily take with hand whenever and wherever needed. Though my kid is now 2 plus years, it can handle her weight on walking trails, rough roads.I can simply say , it awesome and great great value for money.

Yes I took the stroller to Argentina were the streets are cobble stone !!! I just recomend you be careful on packing it. My hook to keep it close broke on the plane trip .

we have the city mini gt. it fits, but you have to take the two back wheels off. not a big deal- they snap on and off pretty easily and then stroller just slides in. tossed wheels in the seat area of stroller, pretty protected. bag is big/long for the stroller, so there is room to add other stuff- coats and such- before tying it up. we used this for one trip (2 flights) and it got pretty beat up. ripped in a few places. i think all of these types of bags last for about a trip or two. but its better for the bag to get beat up instead of the stroller!

No not this model you would need to get the JL Childress Std/Dual Stroller Travel Bag #2104 or the Gate Check Std/Dbl #2112.

Yes. You could check the bag if you needed to. Though we have always left our stroller at the gate since it's free, and have always had the maximum amount of check in bags anyway.

No; most airlined will require you to check it with you luggage. The work around is not to say anything and pack the stroller at the gate then they will check it but will have to get it with your luggage once at the destination.

I don't know if you can package up a stroller at a gate check. I believe they require it to just be folded up. You can of course check it for free. We did that (and will be doing it again very soon) and able to stuff more into the case to ship :)

Don't know..would have to compare the 2 strollers for size and removal of wheels..I have taken the bag on 2 trips and no damage to bag or stroller...I use diapers to pad the wheels....

I tried it with the city select with two seats: it was technically possible, but it was so large and awkwardly shaped I found it unlikely an airline would let me gate check it (or even fully check it without extra fees). The design is really ingenious and can stretch to fit most strollers, but it's huge. I returned the bag for this reason.

Thank you for your question. We do not carry an airport bag for the 3D Lite stroller.

A side by side stroller sounds pretty big. I had a regular Graco stroller and it didn't fit all the way! I would either use the bag that's too big or nothing at all. It wasn't that big of a deal checking the stroller without a gate check bag from what I could see other people doing. In fact, it seemed more convenient.

Hello, As far as i can remember the box size is not huge, it is like a really big suitcase. I guess it is ok for checking it at the airport, but I would protect the stroller a little more just in case.

I have gate checked multiple large strollers and have not had any issues. TSA looks at me funny when I tell them its just the stroller bag but it has always gone through.

Fits perfectly! This is the bag you want for travel. We used it for our City Select double stroller and had plenty of space to spare. Happy travels!

Im not sure if it fits while still installed on the stroller...we've only used the bag for flying and we take it off for extra precaution against breaking and it fits in the bag that way
