To direct the Administrator of the Federal Aviation Administration to issue regulations to include strollers in the contract of carriage of air carriers and set a liability limit for damaged strollers, and for other purposes.
Airline Stroller Protection and Damage Limits
This bill is currently in the early stages of the legislative process and is being reviewed by the House Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure. No further actions or hearings have been scheduled at this time. The bill is considered active as it has been introduced and referred to committee.
Legislative Progress
While the bill has support from both parties, most individual bills like this struggle to pass unless they are added to a much larger package of airline laws.
Key Points
- This bill would require the Federal Aviation Administration to create new rules for how airlines handle strollers. Airlines would have to officially include strollers in their travel contracts and put special tags on them that say handle with care.
- If an airline damages your stroller, they would be responsible for paying up to $2,175 to fix or replace it. This gives parents more protection if their expensive baby gear is broken during a flight.
- The rules would apply to any collapsible carriage for a child or other devices used to move children. The FAA would have about six months to put these new requirements into place after the bill becomes law.
