Travel Strollers Measured Against a 22 x 14 x 9 Inch Carry-On Limit

1 of the 43 strollers here, including the ones sold as cabin or IATA size, fits a 22 x 14 x 9 inch box by the maker's own folded measurements (the Cybex Libelle). The closest miss is the Inglesina Quid3, over by 1.5 in (2 sides over). Airlines set their own rules for strollers, separate from their rules for bags, so check your carrier's policy before you fly.

How this list is ordered: Every compact, travel or umbrella stroller whose maker publishes folded dimensions, sorted largest side first and compared with 22 x 14 x 9 inches side by side. Ordered by the largest overage, smallest first. 43 of the catalog’s strollers qualify. 2 of them are named in a CPSC recall — Stokke YOYO³, Joolz Aer² — which covers only some units or parts; the model’s page says which. They stay in the list, marked, because the specification that put them here is still true.
