    You can take it with you as long as it's not inflated :)

    Planning on taking an inflatable friend with you?! ;)

    For lilos etc I would have though it would be easier on the packing just to buy a cheap one when you are there then chuck it.

    I was going to do that, but then I heard they charge crazy prices, so thought I would just buy them here and take them with us

    While we're on the subject....does anyone know if inflatable airbeds with the pump thingy are allowed in checked baggage?

    Thank you.

    There is nothing in the gov't guidelines or any of the airlines lists to state that airbeds wouldn't be allowed in checked baggage. The only problem might be if the pump is an electric one as these can be fairly big and heavy and it might show up as something suspicious should the bag be x-rayed before it's loaded.
    If it is electric, it would be worth mentioning it to the check in staff.

    If it's one of the plastic foot pumps then I can't see why there should be any problem.
