Which travel stroller or pushchair is best for flying?

Look for an IATA cabin-compatible fold under 20 lbs (9 kg), like the Bugaboo Butterfly 2 (44.8 × 24.5 × 55.5 cm / 17.6 × 9.6 × 21.8 in, 7.3 kg / 16.1 lbs) or Joolz Aer+ (6 kg / 13.2 lbs). Always check your airline's cabin limit in our Cabin Size Checker first.

Do US and UK airlines charge for strollers, pushchairs and car seats?

Usually not. The major US and UK airlines we track (including Delta, United, American, Southwest, JetBlue, Alaska, Air Canada, BA, easyJet, Ryanair and Jet2) check a stroller/pushchair and car seat free for infants. A few have conditions: Vueling carries Group 0+ car seats free but charges for other car seats, and Austrian says a pushchair over 10 kg is checked as baggage with excess fees if it takes you over your allowance. See each airline's page.

Do babies and 2-year-olds go free at Disney World, Disneyland and Disneyland Paris?

Yes! At Walt Disney World Florida, Disneyland California and Disneyland Paris, children under 3 enter the parks free and eat free at all-you-care-to-enjoy character buffets. See our Disney with a Baby 4-way comparison.
