travel stroller?

I have a trip coming up soon and my LO will be 4 months old. I am flying and I was wondering what kind of stroller to use that would be easy to get around the airport. Thanks!

What car seat are you taking with you? What stroller do you currently have?What is your budget?

We loved our Uppababy G-Luxe while traveling this spring with DS. He was 6 months old at the time and it worked out well for us between flights (we checked it at the gate & it fit in a standard gate check bag for umbrella strollers).  We had a carseat waiting with our rent a car.

Our G-Luxe has been our jack of all trades stroller-we got it when DS was 3 months old since he wanted to look out & he couldn't in his snap in go.  If you are taking your carseat I'd go with a snap in go.  It would be easier all around. If you do get an umbrella with a young baby-make sure it will recline.  A lot of the cheapies won't. Regardless I wouldn't check your carseat with the airlines since they are so rough with everything.

thank you everyone! i'm not purchasing a seat for LO. i planned on using the travel system we have but i wanted to see if there was an easier option. the travel system was a hand me down, so if it gets destroyed, it won't be a big deal.
