The bag has come bag super dirty and torn! I just wish they would flipping remember it's a gate checked item. It even says so on the bag and it's tagged as such, but every flipping time, someone has to hunt it down. They return it to us and say it was on its way to baggage claim. Ugh!!!!</p> <p>We've flown AA, Virgin, and Southwest. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-use-a-carseat-bag-if-you-gate-check#post-1439691 Fri, 21 Feb 2014 07:07:15 +0000 looch 1439691@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, I've used one. It's good for keeping the seat clean and making sure all the straps stay in place. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-use-a-carseat-bag-if-you-gate-check#post-1439627 Fri, 21 Feb 2014 02:09:54 +0000 BabyMats 1439627@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>First flight for us last week and we used a gate check bag for the car seat </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-use-a-carseat-bag-if-you-gate-check#post-1439586 Fri, 21 Feb 2014 00:57:03 +0000 shopaholic 1439586@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes and No. I've always brought the car seat bag, but we've had to use it as a spare luggage a couple of times! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-use-a-carseat-bag-if-you-gate-check#post-1439578 Fri, 21 Feb 2014 00:49:37 +0000 lemondrop 1439578@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, but we always seem to get luck of the draw and fly in either rain or snow. Our bag was soaked, but the stroller and car seat were dry and in great shape! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-use-a-carseat-bag-if-you-gate-check#post-1439320 Thu, 20 Feb 2014 22:26:26 +0000 Zbug 1439320@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hmm didn't think about using a garbage bag.

Neither have been damaged but I'm wondering if we have just been lucky! Do you use some sort of travel bag for protection, and is it easy it get the car seat and/or stroller in and out of? I have a few flights coming up with just me and LO (planning on wearing her while boarding so will sort of have two hands). </p>
