Silver Cross Jet 3: Airline Compatibility
The Jet 3 has one of the narrowest folds in the travel stroller world at just 30 cm wide. It slips into overhead bins sideways where wider strollers get stuck. Lightweight at 5.9 kg with a decent recline, it is a strong pick for frequent flyers who prioritize fitting in the bin above all else.
How It Ranks
See full rankings →Traveling with the Silver Cross Jet 3
At the airport
The Silver Cross Jet 3 is impressively light at 5.9 kg and folds to 55x30x20 cm. The fold is compact and the stroller includes a carry handle that makes it easy to lug through security and along jetways. Under 5.9 kg, it is one of the lightest full-function travel strollers you can buy. The slim profile when folded means it fits easily on the X-ray conveyor belt.
On the plane
The Jet 3 fits in overhead bins on many airlines, though the 55 cm length is at the limit for some carriers with strict size policies. Parents report reliable success on wide-body aircraft and major international airlines. On smaller regional planes, gate checking is sometimes necessary. The included travel bag protects it during gate check and doubles as a convenient carrying case.
Good to know
The Silver Cross Jet series has a loyal following among British and Australian traveling families. The Jet 3 rides well for its weight and has a decent recline for naps. The canopy is adequate but not class-leading. It is less well-known in North America than the YOYO2 or Cybex alternatives, which can actually be an advantage since it is often available at a lower price. A solid choice for families who prioritize light weight.
One of the 10 lightest travel strollers we track. See the Silver Cross Jet 3 on Amazon.
