I know there are several discussions about collapsible wagons and that they are acceptable to gate check. I have this particular collapsible Veer wagon and it is pretty bulky when it is folded, maybe a little bigger than a large stroller when it is folded. Is this acceptable for gate check? I just want to be sure, as I will be traveling with 3 kids under 5 and this is the easiest mode of transportation for us. Appreciate any help! Thanks!

Hola!
I'm aware that foldable wagons like the one you're describing are treated like a stroller and I don't see any issue of checking it at the gate. I would strongly suggest bringing a protective cover. SW sells blue covers:

Just be sure the specified dimensions of the bag fits the device before purchasing.
When going through the TSA checkpoint, the folded wagon would go through the X-ray machine with your luggage and belongings if it fits; otherwise, the TSA agent would do a visual/physical inspection of it.
Hope this helps!

Concur, throw it in a blue bag - if it fits, it flies!

Thanks everyone for your replies! We had no issues gate checking it!
