This helps so much! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/will-us-airways-let-you-gate-check-a-stroller-plus-a-carseat#post-2031856 Mon, 19 Jan 2015 23:53:45 +0000 BabyPenguinXO 2031856@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Personally I would just check it at the counter. I just flew delta and it all goes in the same spot anyways I watched load it all. The difference is you have to carry it around until you board the plane vs check it at the counter and have a free hand. I was the only one of my flight who checked it at the gate and there was 5+ other car seats. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/will-us-airways-let-you-gate-check-a-stroller-plus-a-carseat#post-2031847 Mon, 19 Jan 2015 23:40:07 +0000 MamaCate 2031847@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@poundcake: we did it! On us airways we hate checked our chicco and the snap and go. They gave us tags for each and it was no problem. This was over two years ago but I don't think there is any reason it would have changed. Good luck! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/will-us-airways-let-you-gate-check-a-stroller-plus-a-carseat#post-2031834 Mon, 19 Jan 2015 23:20:41 +0000 wheres_c 2031834@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yup shouldn't be an issue!<br /> I would check in at the counter and ask if the flight is full. If it's not, ask politely to see if they can block an empty seat next to you and bring the car seat on and let your LO sleep. My LO would sleep the entire 9 hour flight to London in the car seat. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/will-us-airways-let-you-gate-check-a-stroller-plus-a-carseat#post-2031829 Mon, 19 Jan 2015 23:09:26 +0000 poundcake 2031829@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hi fellow mommas, </p> <p>So this is our first time traveling with our 9 month old and I'm starting to get a little nervous about the logistics. </p> <p>We are bring our usual stroller (Uppababy Cruz) rather than an umbrella stroller because LO naps well in it. We're also bringing our Chicco Keyfit 30 for use once we arrive at our destination. We won't need it on the flight since she'll be sitting on our laps. </p> <p>Does anyone know if we can check both items? I've scoured the US Airways site and only found an answer for the stroller. </p> <p>Any other wise tidbits of advice on traveling with an infant? We'll be going from the East Coast to the West Coast so it's about 8 hours of travel. </p> <p>Thanks in advance! </p>
