Ryanair and buggies - how collapsible?

m0neymagnet

Our pushchair collapses flat but not umbrella style size. Anyone had any experience of "fully" or not quite so fully collapsible?? Thanks travelling very soon.... It is by Hauck, a sport I think.

Travelling with Ryanair from Bournemouth with a 3 month old and the umbrella buggies seem to be 6 months onwards...

Any help or advice gratefully received.

hi, have you phoned the airline and asked their advice. Personally i wouldnt put a 3mth old in a buggy.

The buggy says it is from 3 months plus and our son is 14 weeks old on the day before. We are also using the head support from our car seat as this fits very well and will give his some support left and right. We are taking a Baby Bjorn original carrier but don't fancy carrying him for 7 days in that...

The buggy, Hauck Sport, goes almost horizontally flat. As I say the main problem is that it does not fold or collapse width wise only height wise.

I just flew by Ryanair with a Hauk buggy: it wasn't an umbrella style, but was fine to take on *free* (they put it in the hold after you leave it at bottom of steps to plane, then leave it out same position when you arrive so you have immediate use). You could perhaps consider a baby sling and a 2-piece pram to check in if you're worried about the young age of your baby in a pushchair.
