Amazing video. Thank you for the information. Helped me a lot

[@dashexplore]

Thank you so much!! It was the content I was looking for when planning our trip so I’m glad that others are finding it helpful too!

[@batshevanivylerner8582]

what strap did you use to attach the car seat to your luggage? A regular luggage strap?

[@jonathanlouie517]

Hi! Which glider board did you end up purchasing to pair with the Babyjogger?

[@dashexplore]

Hi! I actually found ours on Facebook Marketplace, but from what I can find online, it looks like it is the Baby Jogger brand. It’s fits on our City Mini 2 and City Tour 2

[@heatherwellman947]

Hi! With your glider board, did you pack that in the stroller bag or put that in a checked bag? Just curious of your strategy as we JUST ordered this same stroller but I had no idea a glider board could fit!

[@dashexplore]

Yep! We were able to fit it in the bag! We had to take the wheels off the glider board to get it to pack nicely, but it all fit! I believe our glider board is baby jogger brand as well, but we got it on Facebook marketplace so I’m not 100% sure. The glider board definitely fits better on our City Mini 2, but we were still able to easily use it with the City Tour! I hope you love this stroller as much as we do!! It is so great!

Hey!! Did u have to pay a fee to bring the stroller in the bag to put in the overhead bin?

[@dashexplore]

We did not. We checked our suitcases, so we brought it on as one of our carry ons. We also had a pretty empty flight so I don’t know if things would’ve been different with a really packed flight.

I have an international trip coming up and am debating whether I should use the car seat in the airplane. I'm 💬 ng he might be able to sleep longer (8+ hours) if he can lay flat using one of those inflatable beds or booking a business class and sleep with me? Was your baby able to sleep in the car seat for a long time? 5+ hours?

[@dashexplore]

She is usually a great sleeper and to be honest she didn’t sleep that well on the plane (maybe 2-3 hours). We tried to use the airplane bassinet, but she just was not having it. I thought about the inflatable bed but I would definitely do some research on your airline to make sure they allow them but I’ve heard that some do not. Our kids have also never shared a bed with us so we didn’t think that they would want to sleep with us. I’m very glad we brought the car seat so that she was contained and not trying to move all over the place, but every kid is different so do your research (which it seems like you are already doing!) and make the choice that is best for you!
