flying with the boy

so any of you moms that have traveled with your little I have a question.

I was just going to bring my carrier and wear the boy through the airport but Step suggested I bring the stroller with me and gate check it.

do you think the stroller/carseat would get damaged under the plane if we gate check?  I was going to check it at baggage I have a cover to put on it.

I've started packing and just bought diapers for the trip the other night...need to figure out what the heck i'm going to fit into for the wedding. 

Re: flying with the boy

  • This was forever ago, so it's hard to remember all the details. I flew with A by myself when he was around 2 and a half months. I didn't bring a stroller but I did check in his infant carseat and nothing happened to it on the way. On the way home, I booked him his own seat and brought the carseat on with me.

  • I've never flown with T but my SIL has flown with her son and they always check the car seat/stroller. I don't think they've ever had a problem.

  • I feel like I would want the stroller just in case, but i'm worried it will just be annoying and get in the way. we have a rental SUV but you never know what kind of car they're going to give you and we'll have Ben's parents with us too 

  • I'm just seeing this...what did you decide? We have always brought the car seat,base, and stroller. We gate checked the stroller every time and the car seat once or twice (when there wasn't room to just keep it on the plane). I won't say our stroller hasn't had damage, but its definitely been nice to have the space on the stroller to put my pump, diaper bag, and all the other crap we have to carry through the airport
