Air Travel- gate checking car seat

travelingkristravelingkris
in Parenting after a Loss

Hi girls-- we're headed out via airplane in a few weeks, and we will be gate checking our car seat and base (along with travel stroller).

Do I need to buy a car seat bag ahead of time (BRU or Amazon, maybe?) or will they provide a plastic bag at the gate that will suffice?

I'm mostly worried about dirt/grime, and not so much damage, which is why I think a standard trash bag, etc will do the trick.... am I wrong?

    I would bring your own if you are gate checking.  They provide one if you check it when you check in, but I have never been given one at the gate.

    bring your own, it saved our seat and so worth it.  If you gate check it they don't put anything over it.

    we got one for our stroller for $10 (plain red canvas bag that says "gate check") and a large heavy duty black one for our carseat for $20 at BRU.  our carseat one has little wheels on it so that when we have to start gate checking our britax it will be easier!! 

    i would definitely buy your own.
