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!
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.
