mamaofami Posted June 15, 2019 #1 Share Posted June 15, 2019 I will be flying to Quebec with my scooter and my husband will use a wheel chair provided by the airlines in the airport. The rollator is for me to take to fold up in a van for a tour in Halifax with Paul. He can't store my scooter. Trying to figure out how to take the rollator on the plane with each of us having a carry on and him in a wheelchair. Any suggestions? I guess he could just fold it up and carry it in his lap in the airport. Anyone done this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catwoman6226 Posted June 15, 2019 #2 Share Posted June 15, 2019 I have, and it wasn't easy, but it worked. I used wheelchair assistance through the airline. They pushed me to the gate, but I had to hold my folded-up rollator across my lap - my cPAP case was strung across the handles of the wheelchair, and I also held my purse and cane. I ended up with bruises on my thighs but it was well worth it to have the rollator on the trip. Good luck, and I hope you have a wonderful trip!

DRS/NC Posted June 22, 2019 #4 Share Posted June 22, 2019 I often cruise solo. I take my rollator, but I need a wheelchair to get thru the airports. Since the escort & I can't handle my carry-on bag & the rollator, I check the rollator with my large suitcase. I have velcro straps that hold the rollator closed. It hasn't been damaged by the airlines -- so far. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Going Coastal Posted June 30, 2019 #5 Share Posted June 30, 2019 I find it a little easier to carry my rollator, whatever model, by folding it and standing the wheels on the foot rests of the wheelchair. I have my carryon in my lap and my hands holding the upper part of the rollator. I have avoided pain and bruising that way. Sometimes the pusher prefers to push me with one hand and the rollator with the other, side by side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
