Most standard strollers will not fit in overhead bins, but some compact or umbrella strollers may. Verify your stroller’s dimensions with airline guidelines for carry-on luggage. If your stroller doesn't fit, you can usually gate-check it at the boarding gate, where it will be stored in the aircraft’s cargo hold and returned to you upon arrival. Check with your airline for specific policies and size restrictions.
