One of my daycare kids (age 1) flew with her Mom this weekend and had to gatecheck the car seat for the last flight. As they landed in our town of 150,000, the airline said that even gate checked items would be coming through baggage claim, so to pick them up there. So Mom goes to get the stuff and the car seat came through on the side, with the top part AND the bottom part of the cover pulled up/off, and all the EPS foam cracked/breaking off. It is a late 2005 Comfortsport. They are hoping the airline will re-imburse them for it, but if they don't, and the family buys new EPS foam, could the use it in their second car (rarely used - like once every 2 weeks for 2.5 miles).
It was the first trip they used the seat for - she still fits in her Graco Snugride (at 15 months!). So even though it's not anyone's favorite seat, it's still a bummer it got a bit wrecked.
