Do you really need a stroller at your destination? I would probably just do a carrier for the baby and either nothing or the Maclaren for your toddler.

When I traveled with my boys I carried one and used an inexpensive umbrella stroller.

hi all--i am bumping up this older thread as i have a similar, but slightly different issue. also traveling with a 2.5 year old and 3 month old. in our case, we are going to be driving a lot where we're traveling to, and after several bad experiences i'm fairly set on bringing our own car seats and using them on the flight. plus, the baby is pretty good in her car seat (so far) so i'd like to be able to hopefully have her sleep in there during the flight. however, we really will not need or want strollers where we're going. so question becomes, how to maneuver through the airport.

we currently have a single mountainbuggy nano and an UB vista. we have a chicco keyfit and a cosco scenera next.

do we:
-put the baby seat on the MB nano, have the toddler walk and one of us schleps the cosco scenera through the airport?
-put the baby seat on the UB vista, have the toddler ride, check the vista and still have one of us schlep the cosco scenera?
-get a second travel stroller (ugh the cost!)
-use an immi go or other even lighter option than the cosco?
-some other combination of options i'm not considering?

would appreciate any suggestions from experienced travelers!

@nwm: If you really don't want a stroller then I would recommend wearing the infant and using a car seat cart for the oldest. We just got this (https://www.amazon.com/Britax-Seat-Travel-Cart-Black/dp/B005CNEQK0) for a trip with a 1.5 yr old and 4 year old. We put the 1.5 yr old in a stroller that we gate checked and toted the 4 yr old around in this.

We often use our travel/lightweight single stroller but just load it with the two car seats and diaper bag. I was able to fit the two car seats on top of each other in one of those travel bags and then balance it on the stroller. I’d wear the baby and then let the toddler walk
