Just make sure you have everything at hand easily in your carry on bag. Take a pen for filling in the arrival cards.

Take stuff for Rohan to play with/books whatever. And hope like h*ll that you get some nice airline staff - the stewardesses on the airline we flew with were completely useless.

Oh, and don't leave heated bottles in the parents room and get all the way to the gate and have to turn back when your flight is having its final boarding call!!

Hope it all goes well for you ]]> Tue, 11 Mar 2008 18:54:57 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=14180&PID=322941&title=umbrella-strollers#322941 <![CDATA[Umbrella strollers : Thanks for that - the four wheeler...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=14180&PID=322341&title=umbrella-strollers#322341 Author: Tricia

I haven't even seen the 4 wheeler, but I'm more of a fan of the 3 wheelers in general anyway. You don't kick the back of it when you're walking, and it is so easy to manoeuvre. I think you'll be happy with it.]]> Tue, 11 Mar 2008 08:47:15 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=14180&PID=322288&title=umbrella-strollers#322288 <![CDATA[Umbrella strollers : Is there much of a different between...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=14180&PID=322276&title=umbrella-strollers#322276 Author: Tricia

Hey Tricia,

I would definitely recommend it - I found it invaluable when I was travelling with my son, I took it right up to the gate then just folded it up and unfolded it as soon as I left the plane. There was no way I could have taken all my bags, plus Kyan as well if I didn't have the stroller. So I would say, buy it!!

If you search for "Quicksmart" on Trade Me, you'll find a few on there. Hope this helps ]]> Sun, 09 Mar 2008 22:41:32 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=14180&PID=321502&title=umbrella-strollers#321502 <![CDATA[Umbrella strollers : I was just about to start a new...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=14180&PID=321256&title=umbrella-strollers#321256 Author: Tricia

Hmmm, I haven't really used it yet so I'll have to get back to you on that one! My son has a habit of leaning forward because he wants to constantly grab things, so I'm sure I'll find out pretty quickly! The only thing that annoys me about it so far is that it has no storage capacity at all, so you've always got to have a bag with you (and carry it) which can be a pain. ]]> Tue, 12 Feb 2008 13:38:50 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=14180&PID=300386&title=umbrella-strollers#300386 <![CDATA[Umbrella strollers : Question for you for those who...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=14180&PID=300222&title=umbrella-strollers#300222 Author: AN E

Umbrella strollers are great for being easy to carry around, lightweight etc. I wouldn't worry about the lay-down option too much. Every now and then when Kryssi sleeps in the umbrella stroller, I just lay it back a bit while I'm holding it. She's not usually in there for very long once sleeping - transfer to car seat or home etc.]]> Wed, 06 Feb 2008 21:10:11 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=14180&PID=295732&title=umbrella-strollers#295732 <![CDATA[Umbrella strollers : Hey Pearls - I bought mine off...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=14180&PID=295675&title=umbrella-strollers#295675 Author: Bayley

Heya, it is really easy to steer!! Because it's three swivel wheels it's a total breeze. I highly recommend it. We've used it from when Maddie was around 7-8 months old and it's now our main stroller...we only use the big one when going for walks.

As someone else said...it does take a little practise putting it up and down but I'm so fast now I normally have it sorted before B has Maddie out of the car!

The Deal might not have any left...might need to check out Baby Factory etc...

That is the advatage of our one....small enough to go on the plane as cabin baggage.

But it can be just as easy to hand it over at departure. ]]> Mon, 04 Feb 2008 14:03:20 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=14180&PID=293906&title=umbrella-strollers#293906 <![CDATA[Umbrella strollers : I looked at the childcare ones...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=14180&PID=293900&title=umbrella-strollers#293900 Author: AliaDawn

I looked at the childcare ones - $120 RRP I think, but ended up going with a $70 down from $100 non lie-back one from farmers - we use it as our main stroller now, I got sick of the bulky buggy, and Seb was old enough to sit up... hates sleeping in anything but a cot anyway.]]> Mon, 04 Feb 2008 13:57:22 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=14180&PID=293900&title=umbrella-strollers#293900 <![CDATA[Umbrella strollers : when we took Rhyley to Uk/usa...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=14180&PID=293789&title=umbrella-strollers#293789 Author: AnnC

We are heading to Australia in a few months time Rhyley will be 17 months and I will still take one that lies back - he likes his sleep and it is so much better if you can lie them down.

The childcare pram cost me $99 for memory but you might picko ne up on trademe cheaper.]]> Mon, 04 Feb 2008 12:32:05 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=14180&PID=293789&title=umbrella-strollers#293789 <![CDATA[Umbrella strollers : I had a $30 Warehouse umbrella...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=14180&PID=293785&title=umbrella-strollers#293785 Author: Maya

I had a $30 Warehouse umbrella stroller with Maya, it didn't lay back but it was light and portable and compact which was all that really mattered and I used it almost to death.]]> Mon, 04 Feb 2008 12:30:34 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=14180&PID=293785&title=umbrella-strollers#293785 <![CDATA[Umbrella strollers : I have a cheapy and I love it....]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=14180&PID=293728&title=umbrella-strollers#293728 Author: mummy_becks

I have a cheapy and I love it. It stays in the boot of my car so I always have it with me. I am still not sure if i'm going to use it at the airport with me later this year.

We have a Safety First Quickmart...no lie back option but we haven't needed it...although it is more expensive than some cheaper umbrella strollers it has the advantage that it folds down to the fit in a backpack that it comes with...it also is 3 wheel so we don't kick the back of it which is great!!!]]> Mon, 04 Feb 2008 11:40:34 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=14180&PID=293717&title=umbrella-strollers#293717 <![CDATA[Umbrella strollers : We are traveling to USA in May...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=14180&PID=293708&title=umbrella-strollers#293708 Author: AN E

We are traveling to USA in May when DD will be 11 months. I am thinking that an umbrella stroller would be good, for getting her around airports etc. Is it worth getting one that has a lay-back option?
Any thoughts / recommendations would be greatly appreciated!]]> Mon, 04 Feb 2008 11:31:22 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=14180&PID=293708&title=umbrella-strollers#293708
