Small pushchair for travel
Discussion
Hi all
We’re getting a KLM flight later this year, and the maximum folded buggy size that can be taken in the cabin is max. 15 x 30 x 100 cm.
Has anyone come across one this size? Can’t find one anywhere.
We don’t want to check one in as want to save time at the airport either end.
Thanks in advance

We have a Bugaboo Butterfly which we used on flights a couple of months after getting it. It's very handy and looking it up now says it's IATA compatible yet the KLM requirements look to be even (slightly) smaller than the Bugaboo's dimensions.
There is another foldable pushchair, the name of which escapes me, but it's been around longer than the Butterfly as it's the brand that airport staff kept referring to when asking us why we weren't checking in the Butterfly.

Baby Zen Yo yo? I saw someone use one on a Singapore Airlines flight last year from Singapore to Melbourne.There is another foldable pushchair, the name of which escapes me, but it's been around longer than the Butterfly as it's the brand that airport staff kept referring to when asking us why we weren't checking in the Butterfly.
I've got 2 strollers here, a Baby Jogger City Elite (huge tank of a thing) and a cheap s
t box Joie £50 umbrella fold. The umbrella fold is my go to for travel - it's cheap enough that I don't care much if it gets broken or stolen.We had a GB Pockit https://gb-online.com/en-gb/strollers/pockit-air-a... they seem to have updated it now
Brilliant bit of kit, folds up smaller than a carry on suitcase
Recommended to a friend who travelled all over South America with theirs
Long haul airlines had no issues with it - short haul and especially TUI do, they have a list of banned strollers that they won't let on board, including these small ones
To get around that, ours fitted in an Aldi resuable bag and became hand baggage. Ha.
We also had a Mountain Buggy "Bagrider" - essentially a cabin bag with a seat on top, which was also great, although we then picked up the stroller at baggage reclaim

Yeah we've got a older GB Pockit, folds to the size of a medium handbag, used loads on different holidays, take the little one to the plane door and just put it in the overhead cabin.Brilliant bit of kit, folds up smaller than a carry on suitcase

It's been great value for the past 6 odd years
