Flying with kids is hard enough without the guesswork
It's 11pm. Your flight is tomorrow. You've been down a rabbit hole of airline webpages and forum posts from 2019. Your toddler is finally asleep on your shoulder and you still don't know if you can gate-check your double stroller.
“The gate agent says your stroller is too big to gate-check”
You measured your UPPAbaby VISTA twice. The airline website didn’t mention anything about size. Now you’re standing at Gate B12, toddler screaming, trying to argue with someone who’s already moved on to the next boarding group.
“Your partner says ‘just Google it.’”
You’ve been Googling it for three days. A Reddit thread from 2019 says one thing. A mommy blog from 2021 says the opposite. Delta’s website redirects in circles. You still don’t know if your Nuna RAVA will fit on the plane.
“The airline website says ‘contact us for car seat policy.’”
You’ve been on hold for 45 minutes. The hold music is a jazzy loop that’s permanently lodged in your brain. Your flight is in 36 hours and you still don’t have a straight answer.
“Is this car seat even allowed on the plane?”
FAA-approved, TUV-certified, airline-compatible — what’s the difference? You just want to know your child is safe, and nobody gives you a straight answer about your specific seat on your specific airline.
If you're nodding right now, you're in the right place.
What if you could walk into the airport knowing everything was handled?
That's why we built Velivolo. One app that replaces hours of Googling with verified answers in seconds. Every policy is reviewed by a real-life travel expert before it reaches you.

“I wish I had this app on our first flight”
We hear this every week from the 7,000+ families who use Velivolo. Here are some of their stories.
SFO → NRT“We were dreading our 14-hour flight to Tokyo with a toddler. Velivolo told us exactly which car seat ANA accepts and how to request a bassinet. We actually enjoyed the flight.”
SSarah Morrison, 34
Flies SFO→NRT twice a year with her girls (4 and 1)
ORD → MCO“First flight with our 8-month-old. I was terrified. I video-called a CPST through the app the night before — she walked me through installing the UPPAbaby MESA on the plane seat, showed me how to thread the belt. I cried a little. Worth every penny.”
DDavid Kowalski, 29
First-time flying dad with an 8-month-old
LHR → DPS“Before Velivolo: our stroller got mangled at the gate on a Ryanair flight. Nobody told us their gate-check policy had changed. After Velivolo: three flights since, zero surprises. We knew exactly what to bring and what to leave behind.”

I'm Lia Tuso — a certified Child Passenger Safety Technician specializing in aviation safety. I built Velivolo because I saw too many families struggling with conflicting airline policies, confusing car seat rules, and gate agents who didn't know the regulations. I made it my mission to bridge the gap between best practices and real-world air travel with kids.

Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about Velivolo and family air travel.
How is Velivolo different from just Googling everything?
Google gives you a 2019 Reddit thread, a mommy blog that disagrees, and an airline website that says ‘contact us.’ Velivolo gives you the verified, current policy for your airline in one tap — reviewed by vetted Travel Experts, updated weekly. No conflicting info, no guesswork. Parents tell us it saves them 3–5 hours per trip.
My toddler needs a car seat on the plane — is that even allowed?
If you’re flying on a U.S. or Canadian Certified Air Carrier, you can bring your aircraft approved car seat onboard. International Airline rules vary. Passengers should always review the airline policy on child restraint system use before travel — some have age limits, some only allow forward-facing car seats, and some require advance notice. Velivolo shows you the exact policy for your airline, and if there are any important restrictions to know about!
How do you keep airline policies up to date?
We have a dedicated team that monitors airline policy changes weekly. Every policy goes through our 4-step verification process: we find the airline’s source document, our team reviews it, a certified Child Passenger Safety Technician cross-checks it, and then it’s published in the app. When airlines update their policies, we typically have the change reflected within a week.
Who are the people behind Velivolo?
Velivolo was founded by Lia Tuso, a certified Child Passenger Safety Technician (CPST) specializing in aviation safety.

The Velivolo team also includes certified CPSTs, family travel advisors, and parents who fly regularly with their kids.
Is Velivolo really free?
Velivolo has a free tier with basic features. Our Premium plan ($9.99/month — less than one Uber to the airport) unlocks unlimited policy lookups, the full tip library, expert consultations, and our community forum. Start with a free 7-day trial. Cancel in the app in 2 taps.
