This bill directs the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to issue new regulations within 180 days of its enactment, requiring air carriers to include strollers in their contract of carriage . These regulations will also mandate that all strollers be tagged with a "handle with care" denotation to ensure proper handling during air travel. Furthermore, the FAA must establish a specific liability limit of $2,175 for damage to a stroller by an air carrier, ensuring this amount is consistent with the overall baggage liability limits. All new regulations must align with the international standards outlined in the Montreal Convention , and the bill provides a clear definition for what constitutes a "stroller."
