Backpack stroller is basic but portable enough to carry on a plane
Anything that makes flying with children easier is worth a look, although this one is pricey.
The QuickSmart Backpack Stroller features a streamlined design, with a lightweight but sturdy aluminum frame, five-point safety harness and retractable hood but few other bells or whistles. It folds down to about 23-by-12-by-13 inches.
Stashed in the included backpack, the 11-pound stroller meets most airlines’ carry-on dimension limits, fitting in the overhead bin, although smaller commuter planes may be an exception.
The stroller’s six wheels (one pair centered in the front and two pairs flanking the back) are 4 1/2 inches in diameter, not so hot on rough terrain but manageable along airport corridors.
The stroller is designed for children 6 months and older weighing up to 45 pounds. It comes in black or a navy blue-and-white pattern and costs $220.
