[quote=Anonymous]Am I supposed to put her in a car seat on the plane? [b]Completely up to you.  I did from 18 months (when we got them their own seat) until about 3 (when they got too tall and started kicking the crap out of the person in front of them).  It keeps them in their seat and if they are a kid that falls asleep in the car they may fall asleep here too.  Either way, they can't try to roam around the plane.  Make sure you know that your seat is FAA approved for use in aircraft (there should be a sticker, it may be hiding under the cover) because they almost always ask to see it.[/b]

I have to take the car seat for use at our destination but I was planning to check that. Can I check a car seat curbside or can I only check it at the gate? I also need her stroller, can that be checked curbside or only at gate. [b]Both can be checked at the gate, but unless you plan on using the seat on the plane (which I'd highly advise, see above) then it seems easier to check it curbside.

Im trying to minimize carrying stuff through security other than my toddler and diaper bag. When she was smaller we gate checked both stroller and carseat but now I don't know. Plus its just me having to handle all this bulky stuff through security and manage a very active toddler!  She is a big kid and I can't put her in a carrier so I either need to hold her or keep her in stroller to get through security. Or do I buy one of those rolling adapters for the car seat, put her in that through the airport? [b]We had one of the rolling adapters which is a good way to go.  If you want to do a stroller but also use the car seat on the plane I'd get a car seat bag so that you can carry it over your shoulder while pushing the stroller.  I'd also suggest having one bag double as diaper bag and purse, one less thing to carry.  [/b][/quote]
