I know that everyone here recommends carrying on your car seats/boosters when traveling. We'll be flying for our first time in April and will be taking two Parkways and I'm going to buy one scenera for my son(if he doesn't grow 1/2 inch before our trip). I'll carry on the Scenera for my son to use on the plane but had planned to check the Parkways. I have the boxes that they were shipped to me in from Britax. Do you think that the airlines handle them worse than Fed Ex or UPS? Why do you recommend gate checking vs curbside checking them? With the original packaging would your answer be different? I'd rather not hassle with three kids, one stroller, two carry ons and three car seats through the airport but will if it's much safer.
Thanks!
Thanks!
