[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] [quote=Anonymous]I have a double chariot and it is beast. It will likely not fit into any shops or restaurants. If you only want it for the airport, then maybe that is ok, but I wouldn't think of using it for touring around Europe. Can you put the younger child in a carrier and the older child in a single stroller for the airport? How old is the older child? Will he need a stroller that much? FYI, I live in the UK and only use my chariot for walks or bike rides. [/quote] Yes, we would only use it in the airport, kids are 4 and 6- so really both too big for using a stroller anymore, definitely too big for a carrier, but the circumstances as they are it seems like the best possible option for passport control line. We are actually moving, so we will have maximum luggage allowance, planning to move the chariot because we won't have a car and are not sure how close we will end up to shops and parks, so planning to use it with the bike around town. If we bring our uppa baby or 2 umbrellas (we currently only own 1 umbrella) we'd end up getting rid of them after the move, the chariot we intend to keep - and then I could craigslist the strollers state side and not bother with bringing them/ buying an extra. Also 6 yo is over weight limit for uppa ... I just can't fathom asking them to stand in line after what little sleep they will get on the flight at time of day their bodies thinks is 2 am. [/quote] We traveled to the UK last summer with our kids then aged 3 and 6 and didn't have a stroller at all. It sounds like a massive pain to deal with a very small problem. They were obviously tired, but super excited and happy to stand in line. The walk from the plane to immigration was more daunting in my view, but they did that just fine too.[/quote]
