Travelling with little ones is stressful enough without worrying about damaged or dirty baby gear. Car seat and pushchair straps often get tangled in airport equipment, causing delays and mess. A simple solution? Bagging or wrapping them before checking in.
Wrapping protects against dirt, germs and potential damage, while also making it easier for baggage handlers to process them efficiently. Non-bagged items risk arriving last due to equipment jams, and exposed straps can lead to unnecessary delays. Using a durable travel bag or a heavy-duty plastic wrap can provide extra security and keep everything in place.
For best results, remove any loose accessories before wrapping, secure all straps inside, and label the bag with your contact details. Many airlines provide plastic bags at check-in, but investing in a dedicated travel cover ensures better protection for frequent flyers.
Though not mandatory, wrapping ensures a smoother travel experience, keeping your child’s essentials clean, intact, and ready to use upon arrival.
