Summary

Highlight any text to annotate
This bill directs the Federal Aviation Administration to create new regulations requiring all airlines to include strollers in their contracts of carriage and to tag strollers for careful handling. The legislation also sets a specific liability limit of $2,175 for damage to strollers during air travel, which falls within existing baggage liability limits. The FAA must issue these regulations within 180 days of the bill's enactment and must ensure the new rules are consistent with international aviation agreements, specifically the Montreal Convention. The bill affects all air carriers and families who travel by air with young children, establishing clearer protections and compensation limits for damaged strollers. There is no specific funding appropriation mentioned in the legislation, as it primarily requires regulatory action by the FAA.
