Can you bring a travel stroller on a plane with Lufthansa when traveling with a baby?

 

Bringing a travel stroller on Lufthansa

 

Yes — you can bring a travel stroller when flying with Lufthansa. Small foldable strollers are often accepted as hand luggage if they fit the cabin baggage size; otherwise you can use the stroller in the airport up to the aircraft door and then have it gate‑checked free of charge. Larger strollers are usually checked with other checked baggage.

• At the airport: You may push the stroller to the gate. Staff will tag it for gate‑check if it cannot go in the cabin.
• On the aircraft: Umbrella or very compact strollers that meet carry‑on dimensions may be stowed in the overhead bin if allowed by the crew.
• Pickup: Gate‑checked strollers are normally returned at the aircraft door after landing; checked strollers may arrive at baggage claim.
• Preparation: Fold and secure the stroller, remove loose items, and label it with contact details.
• Tip: If you’re using a car seat or travel system, check compatibility and tell staff — rules can vary by route and airport, so confirm with Lufthansa before travel.
