Sorry! American Airlines is no longer gate checking big strollers!

Parents, the party is over...American Airlines will no longer gate check certain strollers beginning June 1, 2011.

Large joggers and non-collapsibles will now have to be checked at the ticket counter. So if you've got a little one in tow and want to roll them right up to the gate, you'll have to bring a collapsible or umbrella-style stroller that weighs under 20 pounds.

Thankfully there's no charge for checking strollers.

American isn't the first to slap families with this rule. United has a similar policy. But Delta, Alaska, and Southwest allow all strollers to be checked at the gate.
