ABC Prams UK
From choosing the right equipment to navigating airport procedures, we’ve got you covered. Learn how to streamline security checks, prioritise comfort for your little one, and make the most of airline services. Follow our top 10 tips for a seamless journey and ensure a stress-free travel experience with these essential insights for flying with a pram or pushchair.
Before you start packing, take a moment to familiarise yourself with your chosen airline’s policies regarding baby gear. Airlines often have specific guidelines for bringing prams and pushchairs on board, including whether they need to be checked in at the gate or with your luggage. Knowing the rules in advance will help you plan accordingly and avoid any last-minute surprises.
These are some popular airlines that allow gate-check in (however, please refer to their own policy, as this may vary depending on the dimensions of your pram and policies may change):
Not all prams are created equal when it comes to air travel. Opt for a lightweight, compact, and easily foldable pram that meets airline regulations, like our ABC Design Ping 2 buggy. We have designed the Ping 2 pram specifically with travel in mind, featuring quick folding mechanisms and compact storage options, folding down to handluggage dimensions. Investing in one of these can save you time and hassle during your journey.

Most airlines allow you to gate-check your pram or pushchair, meaning you can use it right up until you board the plane. Some smaller or foldable models may even be permitted as cabin carry-on items. Decide which option works best for you based on your pram’s size, the airline’s policies, and your personal preference. Gate-checking is convenient, but having your pram with you in the cabin can be a lifesaver during long layovers.
The Ping 2 buggy from the ABC Design range folds down to handluggage dimensions, making it a great travel stroller, if your airline allows pushchairs to be stored in the cabin.
To protect your pram during transit, consider investing in a travel bag or cover. These protective accessories shield your pram from scratches, dirt, and potential damage. Additionally, ensure that all loose items, like toys or blankets, are removed before checking your pram to prevent any loss or damage.
Timing is crucial when traveling with a baby. Arrive at the airport well in advance to allow for unexpected delays and to ensure a smoother check-in process. Most airlines also allow families with young children to board early, giving you extra time to settle in and prepare your baby for the journey ahead.
Assemble a travel kit specifically for your pram or pushchair. This can include essential items like a portable changing pad, baby wipes, a small first-aid kit, and a few favorite toys. Having these items easily accessible ensures that you’re prepared for any situation and can keep your baby comfortable throughout the journey.
Our ABC Design Tour Backpack is the perfect travel bag to carry everything you might need on your adventures. With an insulated bottle holder, changing mat and pouch for small items, you’re ready to go. And thanks to the ABC Design universal attachment, it clips on easily to your ABC Design pram.
Airport security can be a bit intimidating, but with a pram, it’s a breeze. Most airports have designated lanes for families, allowing you to move through security more efficiently. Be ready to collapse and fold your pram if needed, and don’t hesitate to ask for assistance if you require an extra hand.
The ABC Design Ping 2 and Avus buggies seamlessly fold down thanks to convenient one-hand fold feature. Quickly and easily fold down your stroller with just one hand, making for a seamless and smooth journey through security.
Once on board, make your baby’s space as cosy as possible. Bring familiar items like a favorite blanket or toy to create a sense of comfort. For longer flights, consider booking seats with extra legroom to provide ample space for your baby to stretch and move around.

In some situations, particularly for shorter flights, babywearing might be a more convenient option. A comfortable baby carrier allows you to move through the airport with ease and keeps your hands free for other tasks.
Last but certainly not least, maintain a calm and flexible mindset. Traveling with a baby can be unpredictable, and things may not always go as planned. Stay adaptable and patient, and remember that your positive attitude will have a significant impact on your baby’s experience.
