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

 

Bringing a travel stroller on a Spirit Airlines flight

 

Yes — you can bring a travel stroller when flying with Spirit Airlines. Spirit allows families to check a stroller for a child; strollers are typically gate-checked at the aircraft door and returned to you at the jet bridge after landing (or picked up at baggage claim if checked at the counter).

  • One stroller per child: You may bring a stroller for each child in your party.
  • Gate-check vs. checked: Small collapsible strollers are usually gate-checked so you can use them in the terminal. Larger strollers may need to be checked at the ticket counter and picked up at baggage claim.
  • Car seats: Car seats are also allowed. If you want to use a car seat onboard, you must have a purchased seat for the child and the car seat must be FAA-approved.
  • Prepare your stroller: Collapse it, remove loose items and detachable accessories, and consider a protective bag to reduce wear and dirt during handling.
  • Confirm before travel: Policies and procedures can change; contact Spirit or check your reservation before your trip for the latest guidance and any airport-specific practices.
