[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sorry, why do you have to keep the base?  I strapped in my infant in the snap-n-go w/o the base many times w/o waking her.  I just don't understand why it is necessary.  The base is just about the conveniece of not looping through the seatbelt strap.  What am I missing?[/quote]

If you decide to bring the base it can fit easily in an overhead or you can check it, whichever you decide.  (I don't *think* they'd give you a hard time about # of items, but maybe they would if your DD is traveling as a lap child.)  But I also agree with this poster.  It's a minor inconvenience, but shouldn't necessitate waking your daughter, unless she wakes really easily (though in that case I imagine just stopping and taking her in / out no matter what might wake her.)

[quote=Anonymous]I could check everything and just wear her to the gate, but thought having the seat/stroller w/ me was better for a variety of reasons - [b]a) I know it won't get lost [/b]b) I have the option to not carry her and c) if by some miracle there is a spare seat on the plane, I can take the car seat on board.[/quote]

As for this - you're right your chances are probably better, but take it from me - the airlines are more than capable of misplacing / not delivering a gate checked carseat.  Been there.
