Kudos to you for being so diligent as to check the dimensions AC gives! I confess I never did that…though if put on the hot seat I would blame baby-fueled, mind-numbing exhaustion?!
I have been traveling a decent amount with my now 20-month old and gate checking her stroller for much of the last year, and haven’t had any queries about dimensions (and one of our two strollers is a fairly large Thule). My hunch is that you’ll be just fine!
