Will my stroller get damaged on planes?

That being said, anything that you hand over to the airlines in the way of baggage or strollers, wheelchairs, walkers, etc. will be at risk of getting damaged, especially if there's anything on the item that sticks out. This is why the airlines don't cover things like handles, wheels, and other such protrusions.
