bringing items back

[blossom]

Hi,I wonder if anyone can help me? I would like to bring a lightweight folding pushchair back for my granddaughter ( great bargain from Walmart!)but as it's too big to go in a suitcase, I wondered if I would be charged for checking it in with my ordinary luggage. I know pushchairs are accepted as hold luggage, but as I won't have a baby in tow, would they still let me check it in free of charge?. I'm flying with Virgin.
thanks Kate

Can you not just take it in the box as one of your 2 pieces of luggage. Virgin allow 2 pieces along with most scheduled airlines

I have over the years bought many such items back and as Shirley states just take it in the box as hold luggage[msnsmile2]

I am planning to bring back a bike this trip for my 6 year old and will do the same[msnwink]

Yes Julie I have done the bike in the past too Only thing is, the brakes are on the other side, though not really a problem

before our daughter was born we bought back items still in their boxes so I feel that is a good suggestion for you to do the same. In our case it was a travel cot & a high chair. We fly either BA or Virgin I carnt remember which airline it was but they should both let you.

Thank you all for your help, I will take your advice and keep it in the box.
