Re: Taking pushchair on flights.
Father in law is flying over the Tuesday before and then escorting Mich & girls on their flight to the UK 2 days later..
So that gets over the flying alone bit...Madness and a waste of money if you ask me, but they insisted he came over!
And Mich is a bit happier about it all to, so maybe it is a good thing...

Re: Taking pushchair on flights.
After 7 years of marriage (and only a few days apart), and kids for almost half of that time, it will be pretty lonely being home alone...

Qantas lost our double pram even though we gave it to them at the aircraft door - it didnt turn up for 5 days.

I think its also very hit and miss on whether you get the buggy on the front hold or in main hold. Try putting your arm in a sling to get sympathy

Re: Taking pushchair on flights.
True, but fair play to him for offering to do it...
Sounds great in theory, but I think I will be pretty bored and a bit sad, to be honest
I have just realised that the new security measures either just have, or are about to come into force (limits on liquids etc), so they may be right in saying I have to put the pram in the hold for security reasons...

Re: Taking pushchair on flights.
Watch out in Auckland they make you weigh the buggy with the rest of your luggage - bit of a bummer when you have buggy weights on the front wheels to stop it tipping over

Re: Taking pushchair on flights.
You can't use your car seats legally in Oz as the standards are different
www.toteatot.com
If you do a search on this site you should find some info and debates re: car seats etc.
Good luck.
p.s I didn't read the rest of the thread.
