P&T ok to take on flights?

I'd suggest a bag, definitely. We have taken our BJ City Elite on 8 flights so far and it hasn't been an issue but we have got a proper BJ travel bag for it. Friends of ours borrowed our cheap stroller for a holiday and had to replace the padding on both handles as they'd been damaged by the airline.

We have just returned from Singapore and one of our good suitcases was slightly damaged and that isn't the first time - one of the wheels was broken on our last holiday in September. I just don't trust the airlines when it comes to 'handling with care' It would be most frustrating to arrive at your destination only to find your pram is damaged. Not a great start to your holiday

Belfie - we just came back from Melb today and I noticed that just inside of T2 near the International Check in counters there is a shrink wrap service for bulky items - it costs $10 but for things like expensive prams etc, it might be money well spent. A gf of my had her Strider trashed by the virgin luggage handlers due to poor handling (eg dragging it along concrete and throwing it about while loading etc)

Yep thats my worry to the point we are thinking about buying a cheapie stroller or something just for the holiday, i would hate to think what my P&T vibe might look like after the flight. We were at Melbourne airport near the windows where you can see them with the conveyor belt loading bags etc and one handlers was throwing luggage up to high on the conveyor that you could just see what was going to happen and the suitcase kept falling off and he kept doing the same thing in plain view of passengers. Even most suitcase aren't cheap and you don't need to be having to replace them everytime you travel.
