Stroller for flight travel?

Hi ladies,

Im planning for my India trip and thinking of buying a light weight stroller for my kid. Right now I have the windsor model Graco which is too heavy.

Any ideas which one I can get? Im sure u all would have too many experiences with this..

What would I do without this IL ?

Thanks!

Hi Selvi,

Try this link...TRAVEL STROLLERS. I have bought the Combi ST stroller for my daughter and its very nice, lightweight and folds up easily. I liked this stroller because it has more features than a regular umbrella stroller, also you can use it later also after you come back from India.

hey i too have bought combi city stroller....we did a lot of research about strollers coz my hubby has a back problem&i too didnt want any stroller that would be huge&bulky....so after a lot of research....we decided on the combi city stroller.....its very light...folds up very easily....does not occupy much space....has almost full recline which is suitable even for infant.....has a shoulder strap&can be easily carried......i bought it from costco&paid around $84 .hope this helps.

Thank u sihi & vidhukumar!!!! I looked into it and i like it a lot.. Just wondering , if this is comfortable for 1 yr old too? Lot of reviews are based on toddlers.

Thanks!

Dear Selvi,

The stroller is very comfortable for infants because it has almost full recline feature which is very useful. We bought that stroller when my daugther was around 7 months old and she used to be very comfortable in that..infact she used to sleep well in that when we took her to shopping malls . The other good thing I like, is the way it folds....it almost folds like a beach chair..and also it comes with a handle bag. Also it has a bigger canopy...

Hi,

We are travelling to singapore and malaysia (total 12 days). Is it worth taking a stroller ? My baby is 6 month old - we dont have problem carrying her but she does not go to sleep on shoulders and needs to lie down.

Out of the box thinking, can we rent a pram in singapore (???) guess it is a good business idea?

dear sumathy!!
you would absolutely need a stroller in singapore etc....coz the santosa island is very huge...it is not at all practical to carry the baby the whole day....you would become very tierd&wont be able to enjoy at all!!combi would be perfect for any kind of travel...coz its so light weight that you can carry your baby as well as the stroller at the same time!!it has a convenient shoulder strap to carry too and has full recline which is suitable for infants.....i dont think its a good idea to travel without a stroller......since baby is 6 months u cant buy umbrella stroller&regular strollers will be heavy&bulky.....so i guess combi will be appropriate......

Thanks sihi & Vidhu.. I am planning to buy combi this week.

Do you know if its available anywhere other than Costco? Costco near me doesnt have it and I couldnt find any info in the net.. Most of them are available online only.

one more question, would the stroller be available during transit travel or after checkin would be given in destination only? I was reading another thread reg this and thought would ask u guys too.

Thanks again for all the info!!!

Dear Selvi,

From my experience, the strollers will be available to you at the transit airport. I flew Lufthansa last time and they did bring up the strollers as you do have a change of aircraft at Frankfurt. This was about 2 years ago. Not sure if they have changed anything. But am assuming it is still the same, as you hand the strollers to the CS agents at the boarding gae, and they issue you a tag which is usually only till Frankfurt .
Best would be to call Lufthansa here and confirm with them.

Thanks a lot V.. Just called Lufthansa and confirmed that we would get the stroller in transit airport i.e. Germany..so no problem with that.
