do you have to check a stroller or can you bring it on board

Has anyone tried to flatten the famous rolling cooler? I'm not sure how this would work if it can't be flattened and placed in the checked luggage for coming down and going home. I am flying solo and being a chronic over packer I don't know how this could be a carry on.

What do you want to know? I can take pics or measurements if you need.

It's nice, but if you are thinking Mother's Day it looks very "winter", not springish enough.

You can take a stoller on the ship.

I brought my stroller last time. No problem bringing it one, but I have a very small Maclaren. My husband said we got lots of judgemental looks. Appearantly it is not socially acceptable to have a 4 year old in a stroller.

oh that's very pretty i'd love to get it but dh would kill me if i spent 200US on a purse. that would be about 250CDN -

How about this one?

Prolly by people that don't have kids. Who cares! My 8 yo climbs in the stroller on occasion!

Much better! I like the orchid.

 

[Kurby]

who cares what others think - people look at me like i'm abusing my daughter when i have her "leash" on her in very busy places but i dont care - i know where she is and she can't just take off on me but she's able to walk around and be save.

I was thinking the Lily since we have a daughter with that name. What do you think about size? Medium or Large?

Very cute...

I agree! I prefer black purses in the winter/fall, but I like colorful purses in spring/summer!

How about this one?

Very, very cute!!

Me too!

How much stuff does she normally carry? That determines what size would be more appropriate...

I like the Lily.

The Lily was my second choice, but for her it's perfect.

Hmmmm, depends, does she normally carry a large bag? If not, I say the medium. I find that the bigger the bag, the more junk I put in it.

I wish my real DH would surprise me with something like this! She doesn't read the boards, does she?

No, and there is no way should would venture into this thread!! She might read the cruise thread once in a while to check on excursions.

Ok...need opinions...since this seems to be an opinionated day...

Here are some of the contenders for my new luggage. What do you think?
Brown w/polka dots I like this set, but it's not getting good reviews for durability...but the suitcases are awfully cute...

Pink Hardside Oh so girly...

Brown & Pink

Argyle Brown or red?

Monte Carlo

I swear by TravelPro. Expensive, yes. But the brand new cheap stuff I had was nearly destroyed after three back-to-back trips (France, Spain and Atlanta). I have an older version of the current Crew line. Love it! It's durable and has held up well for the past 5 years.

We use TravelPro as well - still going strong after 10+ years. A few years ago, the seam broke on our large suitcase (which I regret getting - 2 meds would be much better for us). The case was a few years old then but I decided to test their warranty and took it back to TravelPro. I thought they'd fix it but they said that fabric wasn't on their production line so just gave me a brand new one in the same size. No hassle at all. Of course being newer, it had better features, etc. Score

We carry a hardsided small roller than we can take on as a carry-on. It's protected many a fragile item and I love it.

cheers,
