Flying with 11 month old??

Question

I might just call the airline and ask.. 
but figured I’d try here first.. 
can I check her playpen as luggage? It doesn’t have a cover so it would just be a folded up playpen.. 
can I take a small umbrella stroller on the plane? My daughter is huge and there is no way I would be able to walk around an airport holding her..

Answer

You can check the play pen but its going to be ruined if its not in some sort of bag. You could use a garbage bag or something to protect it
You can bring a stroller through security and they gate check it. Meaning you will go to the gate with it and leave it in walkway before gettinf on the plane. They will put it below and when you land it will be waiting for you in the walk way just like you left it.

Answer

You’re going to have to call and ask about the playpen, and get a cover for it so it doesn’t get damaged and break. 
You can take the stroller! You’ll just place it right at the plane door and they’ll put it under the plane and when you get off the plane it’s right there waiting for you :)

Answer

You need to cover the playpen or it will be disgusting. Even just putting it in a few garbage bags all taped up would do it, but you can buy cheap good carrier covers off Amazon too.
Yes, you can gate-check a stroller.

Answer

You can probably check the playpen with luggage. I would put it in some sort of bag. Yes you can take your stroller with you but you will have to check it at the gate before boarding the airplane. You can’t take it on the airplane with you. They will have it out for you when you land to use right away.

Answer

Check with the airline on cost but you can definitely check the playpen, normal baggage fees apply with most airlines. 
Like other have said, you can gate check the stroller. Keep in mind, the stroller has to be folded up to go through the X-ray at security. During that time you will have to hold your baby. I personally use a carrier through security so I have both hands free and put my son in the stroller after.
