Traveling with young children is a wonderful adventure. However, standing in your driveway with a mountain of bags, two tired toddlers, and a vehicle that is suddenly too small is every parent’s worst nightmare.
When planning a family trip to Pearson Airport, booking the right vehicle is just as important as remembering your passports. At VVIP Toronto Limo, we have spent 15 years handling complex family logistics. Our customers trust us to treat them like our own family, and we know that a stress free start to your vacation depends entirely on having enough space for your children, your bags, and your baby gear.
The Reality of Traveling with Baby Gear
Standard vehicle capacity charts can be very misleading for parents. A standard car trunk might advertise that it holds four suitcases, but adding a bulky double stroller changes the entire equation.
Unlike soft duffel bags or clothing, baby equipment has rigid frames, hard plastic wheels, and fixed dimensions. You cannot simply squish a premium double stroller to make it fit into a tight space. This is why understanding the actual cargo capacity of your airport transportation is critical before you book.
Luxury Sedans vs. Executive SUVs
When choosing your vehicle, you must match the car to the gear. Here is how our fleet handles family travel.
The Limits of Luxury Sedans Luxury sedans are excellent for corporate travelers or couples. However, they are highly restricted when it comes to family baby gear. A standard sedan trunk can comfortably fit one compact umbrella stroller and two medium suitcases. If you are traveling with a full size stroller or multiple large bags, a sedan will simply not work.
The Executive SUV Advantage For families, our Executive SUVs are the mandatory choice. Vehicles like the Chevrolet Suburban or Cadillac Escalade offer massive cargo areas designed for heavy travel. Even with a third row of seats occupied by children in car seats, the deep trunk and wide frame provide the necessary room to stack large suitcases next to heavy baby equipment safely.
Will Your Specific Stroller Fit?
To help you plan, our professional chauffeurs have packed hundreds of different premium strollers. Here is how three of the most popular luxury models fit into our Executive SUVs.
UPPAbaby Vista
The UPPAbaby Vista is a favorite for growing families. While it folds down neatly, the frame remains quite long. In our Executive SUVs, the Vista slides perfectly flat into the cargo area, leaving ample room to stack three to four large suitcases next to it and on top of it.
Bugaboo Donkey
Known for its side by side seating, the Bugaboo Donkey is one of the widest strollers on the market. It requires the extreme width of a full size SUV trunk. Our SUVs can easily accommodate the Donkey without you needing to remove the wheels, saving you valuable time in your driveway and at the airport drop off zone.
Nuna Demi Grow
The Nuna Demi Grow features a unique stackable design that utilizes vertical space. Because our luxury SUVs have high interior roofs, this stroller fits standing up or laying flat, allowing our chauffeurs to easily arrange your luggage around the frame without any damage.

Frequently Asked Questions About Limo Luggage Space
Does my double stroller count as one of my allowed luggage pieces?
We do not strictly count a stroller as a standard suitcase. However, because a large double stroller takes up the physical space of two large bags, you must factor its overall size into the total trunk capacity. When deciding between a sedan and an SUV, always count the stroller as two heavy suitcases to be safe.
Are there hidden fees for bringing bulky baby gear?
There are absolutely no hidden fees for bringing your stroller or travel cribs. The only cost variation is the base rate difference between booking a standard luxury sedan versus an Executive SUV. We always recommend the SUV for families to guarantee everything fits safely without forcing you to pay extra at the last minute.
What happens if I book a sedan and my luggage and stroller do not fit?
This is a highly stressful situation we want to avoid at all costs. If your items physically cannot fit in the trunk, the chauffeur cannot legally or safely place heavy luggage in the passenger cabin with your children. You would need to wait for a larger vehicle to be dispatched, which could cause you to miss your flight. This is why booking an SUV is the smartest choice for families.
Do I need to remove the wheels from my stroller to make it fit in the limo?
If you book an Executive SUV, you rarely need to remove the wheels. Vehicles like our Chevrolet Suburban have wide cargo areas designed to handle bulky frames. If you attempt to use a smaller sedan, removing the wheels might be required, which adds unnecessary stress to your trip while standing in your driveway.
We have twins and need two infant car seats plus a large stroller. Which vehicle is best?
You must book an Executive SUV. A luxury sedan cannot safely hold two car seats in the back row while also leaving comfortable room for an adult, and the trunk will not hold a double stroller alongside your suitcases. An SUV provides the extra seating and deep trunk space required for this exact family scenario.
Expert Packing Tips for a Smooth Airport Transfer
As professionals who manage family airport transfers daily, we want your trip to be as smooth as possible. Here are a few packing tips from our top chauffeurs:
- Collapse the Stroller Early: Fold your stroller before the chauffeur arrives. This allows our driver to immediately pack the largest and heaviest item at the base of the trunk.
- Keep the Diaper Bag Separate: Do not pack your main diaper bag in the trunk. Keep it with you in the main cabin so you have instant access to wipes, bottles, and snacks during the ride.
- Count Your Bags: Give our dispatch team an exact count of your suitcases and your specific stroller model when booking. We use this information to guarantee the perfect vehicle arrives at your door.
At VVIP Toronto Limo, we take the guesswork out of family travel. We handle the heavy lifting and the complex packing so you can sit back, relax in a climate controlled cabin, and focus on making memories with your children.
