Question 1

What is United Airlines's stroller policy?

Accepted Answer

United is middling for strollers. Compact folding models like the Babyzen YOYO can come in the cabin, but they count as your carry-on item, and anything over 20 lbs must be checked at the counter. Gate check is free for one stroller per child, returned at the aircraft door. If you are also bringing a car seat, only one can be gate-checked.
