[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It sounds like a nightmare; the stroller is a travel essential for us, as DD has always hated to be worn in a carrier. That said, the other strollers that you've seen probably weigh less than you think. When DD was an infant, we used our Britax b-agile with carseat attached; but without the carseat the stroller was much less than 20 lbs. Now that she's a toddler, we still travel with the b-agile and gate-check. [/quote]

just so you are aware:  the britax b-agile with a carseat attached is more than 20 pounds.  You would have been screwed in my shoes. (see how that changes things?)

and i saw strollers that were much bigger and heavier than mine.... many with carseats attached.  ( i did not bring my carseat)[/quote]

Of course it is more than 20 lbs with the carseat attached. But I would have simply removed the carseat and treated them as two separate items if confronted about the weight. We gate check a car seat and stroller separately now that DD is a toddler. And we also separately bagged the stroller and carseat when she was an infant. It sounds like your problem (if the scales were right--which they may not have been) is that your stroller was more than 20 lbs without the car seat attached. That said, I have never heard of a weight limit, so the for strollers, so if that is legitimate the airlines should make it clear at the time of booking.

You also may have just been screwed by a hyper aggressive agent. We were forced to check, instead of gate-check, a car seat on a recent flight and it really annoyed me.[/quote]
