What it does

The bill would require the Federal Aviation Administration to issue regulations within 180 days of enactment that mandate air carriers to include strollers in their contract of carriage and to tag strollers for careful handling, while also setting a specific liability limit of $2,175 for damage to strollers under existing baggage liability rules. These regulations would apply to all air carriers and must align with the Montreal Convention for international flights. The bill defines a stroller as a collapsible carriage for pushing a small child or any similar device used to transport children.
