Mountain Buggy Nano Questions & Answers

Hi kat did this happen to you?

I have taken it on board with Jetstar, Virgin and Fiji Air multiple times.

My daughter has the nano. Brought it to Singapore but it was on Singapore Airline. No problem as check in as hand luggage. Not sure about jeststar as it is a budget airline. Suggest you call them but make sure you ask for confirmation To prevent any problem when you check in at the airport.

Personally . I'd probably go for a yoyo (yoya is relica you can get from AliExpress about $200) or maclaren ( age 0+ ) but you can't take Maclaren onboard with you which is a pain sometimes.

I love my nano but I don't think its suitable for tiny bubs due to flimsy looking harness.

I have a 6.5kg 4 month old and she is definitely not ready for our nano. Not comfortable at all for such a small Bub, it doesn't recline enough

Thanks!
I went for the yoyo in the end and figure he will grow soon, might just have to watch how much time he spends in it.

Yeah Im interested in this too. Our 1 year old daughter is tall too.

I just took two domestic and two international Jetstar flights with absolutely no issues. Compared to some people's GIANT carry on luggage, this pram looks tiny, especially if you take the wheels off too. If they see you with an infant they'll probably ask if you're checking in a stroller at the gate, but just tell them it folds down to carry on size. Remember it forms part of your carryon allowance, so you can only take one other small bag - but you can stow a fair bit of stuff in the carry bag with the pram (e.g. a whole 30 pack of nappies).

Best advice is to actually phone the airline you're going to fly with and ask if the accept the mountain buggy as carry on luggage. We flew on Saturday to New Zealand with Emirates. The lady at the check in desk said that they accept the Babyzen yoyo as carry on luggage for the overhead locker. I didn't ask about the mountain buggy as I don't own any of these two brands of strollers. Hope that helps you. Enjoy your trip

We travelled from Hobart to Melbourne without a problem. But at Melbourne airport on the way home I made the mistake of folding it up at the gate. They saw me do it and made me put it in the suitcase rack to see if it would fit-it didn't... They tried to make us check it in but we argued that it is designed to go on board and it fits in the overheads and they eventually let us. But...the dimensions of the Nano are actually bigger than Jetstar state their allowance is, so they were right, but it does fit. Makes me nervous to travel again, which is what it is designed for.

Thanks Sarah didn't ended up taking it :(

Had no problems with the mountain buggy nano carry on travelling business class qantas to or from Melbourne or Auckland. But was told in Sydney at the check in desk travelling to Melbourne I had to check it in because they have different rules to other ports and only allow the yo-yo zen onboard. That was really annoying with a toddler and 2 kids in tow.

I have a Diono Buggy Buddy which fits but isn't the greatest if transporting take-away coffee. It difficult to say if the brica one would fit - if it's the 'plus' version is say yes. I got the Diono one because it's not rigid and when I collapse the pram it can still close completely.

It does not lay flat (recommended for 6months+) but flat enough for a nap.
I don't know about KLM. Jetstar has refused it as cabin luggage for me on one leg and accepted it on the return leg.

The Nano doesn't fully recline to a flat position but it does recline enough to make it suitable for sleeping. Re KLM, not sure but we had no problems with Luthansa, Qatar, Emirates and Qantas if we demonstrated that it folded compactly into its cover. To be sure, we removed the front wheels and stored them with the stroller.

Thank you so much for your answers! :-) I just purchased my Nano yesterday and after giving it a try in the babyshop I loved it! So did my baby, as a first view! :-) The front wheels can be easily removed, it is quite light and easy to manover. I love the shopping tray under, large enough for my needs :-) and all in one very comfy! :-) Looking forward to use&enjoy it a loooong time,on travel as well as on shopping trips around town! Cheers :-)
