When flying with children and the 'special equipment' that comes with them, ie the car-seat and/or stroller, it's always a good idea to check the baggage allowance requirement first. Airlines have been really cracking down lately so it's best to be prepared. I'm bringing this up because of an American Airlines' policy that recently came to my attention (as a note, I do not typically fly American Airlines so I have no direct experience with this policy or how it would affect travel).
According to American Airlines' policy, which can be found here, strollers that are large, non-collapsible or over 20 lbs. must be checked at the ticket counter. There is more detail here and the good news is that it looks like checking a heavier stroller won't incur baggage fees, but you have to check it at the counter. This means if you were counting on using a jogging stroller or a double stroller through the airport, you'll have to come up with a Plan B.
