I got it for $5 used and every time we use it, it comes back with huge black stains that would have gotten on the stroller. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/question-about-gate-checking-umbrella-stroller#post-1266671 Sat, 07 Dec 2013 10:21:45 +0000 betsyboop 1266671@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lemondrop: @sorrycharlie: Ooh didn't even think about that, thanks! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/question-about-gate-checking-umbrella-stroller#post-1266668 Sat, 07 Dec 2013 10:21:31 +0000 mediagirl 1266668@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not for the umbrella stroller. I did for our regular stroller. Both came out just dirty. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/question-about-gate-checking-umbrella-stroller#post-1266663 Sat, 07 Dec 2013 10:18:27 +0000 sorrycharlie 1266663@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I gate checked our city mini bagless and it was totally fine (flew Southwest). But, @lemondrop has a good point about weather..we were lucky to have sunny skies both times that trip. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/question-about-gate-checking-umbrella-stroller#post-1266660 Sat, 07 Dec 2013 10:16:57 +0000 dolphin 1266660@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't use a cover when I gate checked and it was fine! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/question-about-gate-checking-umbrella-stroller#post-1266659 Sat, 07 Dec 2013 10:16:22 +0000 lemondrop 1266659@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, I always have, but I always seem to be flying through crappy weather, and my bag usually comes in soaked. I bought a $15 red "gate check" bag and am happy I did with my luck. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/question-about-gate-checking-umbrella-stroller#post-1266651 Sat, 07 Dec 2013 10:12:13 +0000 betsyboop 1266651@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If you gate checked your stroller, did you put the stroller in a protective cover? </p> <p>I will be traveling alone with LO next week and she's too big for our carrier, which is what I used in the past and always checked the stroller in the cover at ticketing. This time I'll need to use our umbrella stroller to get her through the airport but I'm wondering if I need to cover the stroller before checking it at the gate. Any tips or thoughts please? Thanks! </p>
