Airline travel can be a stressful, confusing and infuriating those days. The rules and regulations as are permitted to bring on board changes daily and with each airline to put a personal touch to the rules, may be impossible to know what can and can not do.

Traveling with a baby or small child is flying about 100 times harder than it looks. Thus, most parents choose to move through the busy airport with the help of a stroller. Traveling with a stroller can certainly make things easier, but before you book your next flight, we’ve compiled a list of specific rules and regulations governing the carriage of the stroller, your baby during the flight.

Most airlines, a stroller for a piece of luggage which, fortunately, is not subject to additional baggage fees. In other words, you can make your regular luggage and personal items like everyone else, and bring the stroller as an extra bedroom at no cost. Most airlines require that you check a stroller door, unless it fits under your seat or luggage compartments. But like most walkers do not fit into these areas, the audit approach is the way forward. Some airlines also have restrictions on the size of the pushchair. Most recommend or even require that the stroller is a small umbrella stroller. Hawaiian Airlines specifically prohibits strollers. Other airlines that have no specific rule for it, which may mean it is open to interpretation. If you plan to bring a stroller or stroller large, you can directly call the airline before traveling to determine whether they can do.

Here is a list of several airlines and their specific regulations that have gathered at what was published in the official airline websites, 9 September 2009.
