Going on a flight: stroller?

We are going on a 2 hour flight on Sunday, and are visiting my family that also has ID twin boys!!! :lol:
My cousin said she has a stroller we can use when we get there, so would you bring your own stroller for the airport or let them walk around?

I am just worried to not bring it and them freak out and I have to carry them both! But, if I don't bring it, its one less thing to lug about.

What would you do?

By the way, they walk fine and stay close to me and always hold my hand.

 

Is it just you and the boy?
Which airport are you leaving from?

The stroller will give you a place to put them while you wait in the airport, but then again it is something to have to fold to go through securtiy. But it is a place to hold carryons.

I'm no hlep. lol

 

We've flown a lot with our kids, and we always take a stroller. Even with my nearly 4 year old, we have him sit in the double stroller. It is a pain to get thru security, but so worth it. You can always gate check the stroller, which is easy to do. Good luck with your trip!

 

My children are much younger than yours, but I would take the stroller. Check it at the gate. It's a bit of hassle at security but I'd have it as an option in case one got tired, or you needed to park your excess gear somewhere!

Have fun!

If I were doing it solo, I'd definitely take the stroller. If DH were along, I'd probably skip the stroller but bring their harnesses and uses backpacks.

 

I still use our stroller at the airport!!! I just gate check it! I say take it!! Sometimes you need to go quicker through the airport than they are willing to go! I remember a trip last year that we had to haul from one end of the concourse to the other due to a last min. gate change. If they were walking I would have NEVER made it. They tend to dawdle and look at all the stuff and all the people can be overwhelming!

 

Thanks ladies! I will bring it...good excuse to store more stuff in and also if we have to walk fast. I definitely know what you mean Diane!

Lisa, we are going to GA from LGA. We
HAVE to get together when we get back!

Even if you don't use it while you are there, just having it for the airport will be great!! I think you won't be sorry!! (I Hope!! )

 

We hsvr flown several times and I say bring the stroller, no questions about it.

 

Definitely bring it in case your flight gets delayed and one is sleepy or if one doesn't want to walk, etc etc. Plus like you said you can put your bags in it if the boys want to walk.
