Yes, it would be a good idea to take it. It would better to be prepared just in case your two hour layover is extended for any reason, etc. Many airlines will check it at the gate when you check in for you flight. Let them know that you want it during your layover.

Different Airlines have different rules for what they consider "checked" baggage. Most of the time the stroller does not count towards your baggage allowance, but I would check with the Airline to be sure.

Yes you should. I totally needed it and did not regret brining it. Usually they will take the stroller and have ready for you once you are getting off the flight on the exit ramp. Since she has a paid ticket she is entitled to have carry and check in. have a great trip.

If you paid for her seat then you will be able to count the stroller as her carry on baggage. It is a great idea that you take it because you may have a long way to go between flights and you should be able to take that on the plane with you. Just to make sure, you should call the airline directly and have them put a remark on your reservation that you will be taking the stroller on board. Have a great trip!!!

yea but it will be counted as a carry on but it will be her carry on... just try to board the plane at the front of the line of the end of the line so that you wont be in anyones way

They may let you take it on the plane with you otherwise you can usually have your kid in it all the way until you step foot on the plane and from that point you leave it and they put it on the plane at the last minute and have it waiting for you when you get off the plane. That has been my experience.

Check with your individual airline; some will let you take it on the plane, some won't. Actually, most won't.

it depends on the size I worked for an airline and can assure you that you can take it as part of your carry on luggage if its not too bulky yet it is going to be difficult for you to board the plane. I recommend clients not to do this for when you are walking witha stroller and a cart for your bags its nearly impossible.

N.E. B

If your stroller is check in luggage then you probably won't have it when you have your layover. All your checked luggage would be handled and transferred to the new aircraft on your 2 hr. layover. You would not have access to it. The only way you would have it available to you would be not to check it at all but to have it as carry on luggage. Might want to just leave it at home.
Since your 2 year old has her own seat then it could be part of her luggage either as carry on or checked, but if I were you I'd leave it home.

If I were you, I would call the airlines and see if they could have a stroller waiting for you to use when you arrive at your layover airport. You would be surprised at what the airlines can and will do. It is worth a try as you have nothing to loose.

Don't bother with the stroller as you can rent a cart at the airport.

you dont want to carry to big of a stroller. the smaller the better, especially since its a international flight and with a stop. if your spouse is with you if you have one then by all means bring one. but if you are alone then just think if you want to go through all the hassle. the stroller will be counted as your carry on since she does not to be counted as a passenger taking up a seat.
