    Gate agent here; Just keep in mind. This “hack” doesn’t work with American Airlines, you will be charger a baggage fee. When checking a car seat or stroller you can’t have additional items inside the travel bag. The agent will ask you to remove the items or a baggage fee will be collected.

      Interesting…we’ve done it on all major airlines including AA…I would say just don’t abuse it and stuff it too the brim haha

      I’ve done it with American Airlines but didn’t pack it full/heavy or anything. They didn’t ask to check so I guess it just depends!

      We bought a standard $10 bag off Amazon (shown in video) and it worked fine. BUT we didn’t travel with the base. So that might make it harder

    Can you tell me do these bags are provided by airlines or we have carry them separately. Do airlines accept stroller plus car seat?

    • @TheAdventureBuddies
      @TheAdventureBuddies  Год назад +3

      Bags you bring on your own. We have ours linked in our Amazon storefront if you’re interested (cheap). But most airlines are different but many allow you to check both your stroller and car seat for free.

      We love the j Childress black canvas stroller bag because it lasts forever and is HUGE! We can fit a stroller and TWO car seats inside! The red bags get shredded in just a flight or two.

    If you have a connecting flight, will the car seat go all the way to the final destination or get dropped off after the first flight?

    • @TheAdventureBuddies
      @TheAdventureBuddies  Год назад +3

      I would ask at the gate. Believe they can do what ever you wish. Some may want the stroller/items in between flights while others may want it to go all the way.

    This depends on the airline. JetBlue asked me to open the bag and check inside and charged me an extra check in because it had more than the stroller.

    Do not do this. You're going to overweight the bag and possibly hurt one of the Ramp agents.

    If you gate-check the car seat, you might as well throw it out when you land, because it’s going to get abused.
