Planning the first holiday with the baby, wanted to know if anyone has actually travelled with their Bugaboo Bee on a plane? If you have did you have to check it in with baggage or was it taken to plane doors?


I have seen lots of posts about good light strollers to take on traves but to save some money would like to get away with the bee ( if possible and practical)


Look forward to your responses!

Its fine to take the Bee on a plane! You can check it in with baggage if you want, and carry your baby around until you get on the plane, or you can take it to the gate and fold it up and hand it over when you board.


Bear in mind that if taking to the gate, you often have to fold the buggy up at security and put it through the scanner.

Yes, ours has been all the way to NZ and back, which is a total of 6 separate planes. We took ours right to the gate as had a few hours in transit, and checked it for our final internal flight in NZ. It's a great buggy for travelling with.
Yes we've done it lots of times. Not all airlines/airports let you take the buggy to the plane though so check this before you travel. Also being able to take the buggy to the gate doesn't always mean you then also get it straight back as you disembark, you may have to collect it with the luggage. Had a great flight from gatwick where they let us go though the 'assisted' security check as we had the buggy which meant no queuing and lots of people to help. Don't make my mistake and take baby forks or knives through security as they will be confiscated - que toddler meltdown...
Not with a bee but we once took a travel bag for our baby jogger - although it protected it it was quite a hassle to get to the gate and then have to put it in the bag (and carry bag around with us). Since travelled with our 2 part phil and teds, no bag, all fine...

We are travelling with a micralite in a bag and also a carseat in a sunshine kids bag. I'm glad we have both as everything does get thrown around a bit. If there are 2 of you travelling its not too much hassle getting it into the bag at the gate, though we have decided to just check he pram from now on and stick with the sling.


I think the sunshine kids carseat travel bag would fit the bee, by the way. It's huge.

Our stokke xplory had a bit snapped off it when we picked it up the other end.it was really sharp and I was nervous about using it.the airline was great and repaired it, but as it was Christmas we didn't get it back until we returned to the uk.they gave us a replacement buggy which took 5 days to show up, but it was pretty abysmal and our 1 year old wouldn't sit (never mind sleep) in it. So we had no buggy for the three weeks :(. I don't know if there are bits that tend to get broken off thee bee (the airlines said they had the same thing happen on loads of stokkes), but I would be nervous if we still really needed a buggy on trips.sorry to give a negative story but it can happen and it sucked big time! Maybe you could put some bubble wrap on any vulnerable clips and cross your fingers!

    • And the latest shocker, Inflation this morning was 2.3% up from 1.7& the previous month, a 0.6% increase in a month, that is dreadful. So Robber Reeves plan is already working (NOT). Inflation has begun to increase and will continue to do so, I predict the next set of unemployment figures will show a rise. Neither of these things can be blamed on the last Govt, it's down to the inept budget and impact it is having already.
    • Andrews and Arnold are brilliant https://www.aa.net.uk/. If there's any problems someone picks up the phone on the 2nd or 3rd ring and several times they have rung me immediately after I sent an e-mail. As they are primarily B2B, their support is excellent and there are a lot fewer miscommunications with OpenReach. Go to their website and enter your postcode which will show you exactly what type of broadband is available in your area.
    • Because they have been awful - scoring own-goal after own-goal. You cannot be an apologist for their diabolical first 100 days on the basis that the previous lot were worse - in the same way the whole of the 14 years of Tory rule was tarred with the brush of despair about their very worst behaviour in the latter years Labour run the risk of their government being tarred with the same brush on the basis of their first 100 days. It has probably been some of the worst 100 days of any new government and Starmer's approval ratings aren't as low as they are without reason. You know they are in trouble when MPs start posting the good bits from their first 100 days - it's a sure sign they know they have a problem. And when this government have a problem the frontbenchers disappear from media interviews and they roll-out the likes of Pat McFadden to provide some air cover. Yesterday it was farmers. Today it is the pensioners being pushed into poverty by Winter Fuel payments. It's a perceptual disaster and has been since day 1 - they have to get a grip on it else this leadership team is doomed. You highlight the very problem here. Farmers are not being gifted money. They are being gifted assets. Assets that they don't realise as they continue to work those assets to provide food for the country. Most inheritance is cash or an asset (a house) that people sell to generate cash. Passing a farm to younger family members is very different. On the news they interviewed a farmer whose family had owned the farm since 1822 and he broke down in tears when he spoke about his 13 year old son who was working in the farm to continue it - no doubt in the realisation that his son would be hit by a tax bill when he took it over. Given farmers are not cash rich then the decision would likely be that they would need to sell some of the land that generations had worked hard to build to fund the tax bill - and so many farms are on a knife's edge that it might be enough to send them over the edge.   There are many valid reasons why the government are doing what they are doing but those reasons are not cutting through and they are losing control of the narrative. That is a massive issue for them.  
    • Another great job by Simmonds Plastering. This time he decorated the newly plastered living room and added a pantry cupboard in kitchen.  He is reliable and works really hard.  Highly recommend 07949 180 533
