Tips on transporting a car seat through the airport

In the past, I've transported the car seat in the airport on top of a rolling carry-on. We're flying Frontier this time and won't have a rolling carry on. We will have a smallish Kolcraft Cloud Plus stroller that we'll be using for transport of my 2-yr-old, but I don't think I can haul the car seat on that.

How do you guys do it? Some sort of wheel/handle contraption? Straps and wear it as a backpack? We're taking her travel car seat - a Costco Scenara.

Thanks!

Do you need the stroller at your destination or is it solely to get through the airport? Walmart sells a luggage cart for like $15-$20 that you can attach the car seat to and use as a make shift stroller through the airport. Then it folds to fit in an overhead bin and you can use the seat on the plane.

That's a idea. We do use the stroller all the time at home. My daughter has food allergies that are contact reactive. So, it's easier to just plop her into the stroller than to put her in a grocery cart where kids have been spilling her allergens (egg/milk/peanut). We could get the cart and still take the stroller, though. How to airlines view the luggage carts? Is it a personal item, or just a freebie?
