JL Childress Gate Check Bag for Car Seats for Newborn and Above (Red)

Product Information

Musical instruments are also considered a carry-on item and must fit in the overhead bin or under the seat in front of you. However, this allowance does not extend to passengers who try to bring a full-sized carry-on item on board when their fare type does not permit them to do so.

After it fit the gate manager probably did not like my smirk and still insisted the bag be gate checked. L.

This durable yet lightweight bag fits and easily covers most single umbrella strollers, and features a drawstring closure with adjustable lock, reinforced seams and carry handle. USBusiness - you nailed it for me - the weight would definitely be over 8 kg - so husband has reluctantly agreed to regular check our bags.I check 2 bags on every trip (personal stuff and work stuff), and then just have my backpack with computer, headphones.

I once flew with a low-cost airline (Tiger) where all passengers were required to place all carry-on luggage in a sizer before they were allowed into the gate area. I have been told by one airline that I either check my carry-on or miss the flight, even after explaining the situation.Protecting your child’s car seat and stroller from dirt, damage and more when you gate check them is made easy by the bag’s large size, lockable draw-string closure, dual carry handles, and attached stretch pouch that makes unfolding and refolding easy. My guess would be that if LH does weigh them (which hasn't happened to me in my 15 or so intra-EU flights), it would be in the gate. The bag is foldable and stows away in your pram easy making it perfect for local transport too, such as buses etc. This is because these airlines don't always have cabin space for all passengers to bring a piece of baggage with them in person.

It’s possible to take a small bag to fit under the seat in front, if you adhere to the Marie Kondo art of packing.We have never observed gate-checked bags for international, as we've never had them, and the normal jetways do not provide one with a good observation point. In general, gate-checking requires the bag to be tagged, usually at the gate podium, then handed off to an agent at the end of the jetway, or before the boarding stairs. The dual, padded shoulder carry strap allows you to comfortably carry your car seat or stroller, making this a truly deluxe gate check bag. These airlines put service first and offer spacious cabins with enough room to fit at least one piece of carry-on baggage for each passenger and sometimes more. When we had a cheap-o umbrella stroller we didn't bag it and had no problems getting it back at the jetway on arrival.
