Travelers with kids would get up to $2,175 for damaged strollers on flights.

This bill would make airlines more responsible for strollers. It would require airlines to include strollers in their official baggage rules and tag them for careful handling. If a stroller is damaged, airlines would have to pay up to $2,175, providing a set amount for damages.

What Would Change

Today, airlines are not specifically required to include strollers in their main baggage rules, and there isn't a federal payment limit for damaged strollers. If this bill becomes law, airlines would have to include strollers in their baggage rules, tag them for careful handling, and pay up to $2,175 if a stroller is damaged. These changes would take effect within 180 days of the bill becoming law.

Key Provisions

Requires airlines to include strollers in their official baggage rules.
