Carry-on details
Allowed. Small, collapsible strollers may be brought to the gate. Most airlines allow strollers to be gate-checked for free, meaning you use it right up until boarding and it's stowed in the cargo hold for the flight, then returned to you at the jet bridge on arrival.
Checked-bag details
Allowed. Strollers can also be checked at the standard baggage counter if you prefer not to use it up until boarding.
Special instructions
Gate-checking is typically free and doesn't count against your checked-baggage allowance — confirm your specific airline's policy.
