[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]unfortunately an umbrella stroller does not work on sidewalks and bumps.  It's just not practical unless you are at a shopping mall or some place.  I have one and leave it in my car for these purposes.

It's not like I traveled with a BOB stroller or some kind of stroller system (which i saw all around me).

Why does it have to be so hard to travel if you have kids?   I'm going to places where i need a stroller for sidewalk bumps and gravel etc...

I have flown with this stroller numerous times and never had a problem until I feel american airlines.  Also you can't put an infant in an umbrella stroller

1) Check your ATV-Hummer-stroller.
2) Buy an Ergo-type carrier for the infant.
3) Rent a luggage trolley at the airport.

You stroll through the airport, pushing the cart, with the baby on your back (or front, but that makes it a bit awkward to push). Although do you really need a cart for just your carry ons? The bigger kids get backpacks, which leaves you pulling one carry on..  In any case, it's perfectly do-able. People do it all the time. [/quote]

1) it's not a big stroller
2) i did have a baby carrier (beco gemini) for the baby, but was going to use my stroller for toddle
3) luggage trollies are not permitted through security!  they are for before you check your bag and once you collect your bags.

I am talking about a small-medium stroller.  ( you can read the specs here: http://www.bumbleride.com/strollers/indie).  A baby, a toddler, an elementary aged child.  2 kid-size  backpacks and a diaper bag.  If I have a stroller this is very manageable.  I have done it many times now.  Without a stroller it is difficult.  If they offered to help me or provide an airport stroller then it would have been completely fine.[/quote]
