Flying with a toddler and a stroller-trike

The short answer

The Wonder™ range is carry-on approved and designed for the overhead locker: it folds to one piece, 54 × 25 × 34 cm on the Wonder™, under 7 kg on every model. Cabin allowances vary by airline and fare, so check yours against the folded size before you fly. If it goes in the hold, it travels as a stroller.

Before you book

Find your fare's cabin allowance and compare it with the folded size of your model: Wonder™ 54 × 25 × 34 cm, Wonder+™ 52 × 25.5 × 41 cm, Wonder max™ 54.5 × 26.5 × 38 cm. We do not list airline allowances here because they change; the airline's own page is the one to trust.

At the airport

  • Ride it to the gate. Security will X-ray it folded.
  • Fold it at the aircraft door. Three seconds, one piece, nothing to reassemble.
  • Into the locker, wheels in first. Unfold at the arrival gate.

If it goes in the hold

It travels as a stroller, which most Australian carriers carry without charge. Ask for a gate check so you have it to the door and get it back at the aircraft.

Which model to take

The Wonder™ at 5.9 kg is the one families fly with most. The Wonder max™ if your child is under ten months or sleeps on the move.

Common questions

Is it really allowed in the cabin?

It is designed for it and carry-on approved. Whether your fare allows a bag of that size is the airline's call, so check before you fly.

Does the Wonder max™ fit too?

It folds to 54.5 × 26.5 × 38 cm. Same check against your allowance.
