Can I bring a child backpack carrier on an airplane?




Mamaof2


We are going on a flight to Hawaii aboard Delta and I want to use a backpack child carrier (Chico brand) through the airport as opposed to an umbrella stroller. Will Delta let me carry it on? Its a little bulky when fully extended, but the legs fold inward. Its about the size of a small suitcase when compacted.


Answer
See whats they said

Strollers & Child Restraint Seats
Strollers will be checked for free and are not counted as part of the standard baggage allowance.

Strollers may be checked at curbside, the ticket counter, or at the gate.

If you want to use a child restraint seat or stroller to transport your child through the airport, that's fine.

Strollers need to be checked at the gate by a Delta agent. Child restraint seats may be checked, or in certain cases, they may be brought on board:

What if there is an open seat on your row?
If there's an open passenger seat in your row, you may place your child in an FAA-approved child restraint in that seat during take-off and landing

However, Delta can't guarantee that a seat will remain open. If you want to be sure a seat will be available, you'll have to purchase a ticket. If an empty passenger seat is not available for your child restraint, the child restraint will have to be checked at the gate by a Delta agent.

Do backpacks affect children's back or spine?

I'm wondering if someone wears a backpack, will it affect their back or their growth? I am conducting a small experiment to see if people with rolling backpacks are taller than people with regular backpacks.

What I know about spines and backs is that they are made up of about 30 little squishy pads. If a backpack is worn properly, can it not damage your back? How does it affect your back? Also, is there a way to develop a new type of backpack that can protect your back better?

Thanks in advance for answers!



Answer
Well I don't know about developing a new type of back pack but I do know that studies done in all most every country have shown that children in this age are carrying far to much weight on their backs just due to back packs.

When I think about what I used to carry to school and now what my child carries to school I all ways take the load off of her back.

Which is ridiculous if you think about it.
