Most airlines let you check in a fully collapsible pushchair for free, but some different restrictions apply regarding the size and weight of the pushchair and where it needs to be stored on the plane.
To avoid being hit by extra charges when you check in make sure you’re aware of the restrictions.
If you're flying with Jet2, for example, you’ll need to make sure that it weighs no more than 10kg. But with British Airways, the dimensions of your pushchair must not exceed 117 x 38 x 38cm.
In Which magazine last month, they published a handy chart that gives details of the requirements for each airline.
