Wrap your stroller for protectionYou can wrap it in bubble wrap or plastic wrap. In fact, most airports will allow you to pay a small fee to use plastic wrap and wrap your stroller at the airport.

Children's strollers and child safety seats are not counted as part of the standard baggage and therefore can be easily checked for free. For your convenience, these items may be checked at the curbside, the ticket counter or at the gate. Child safety seats may be brought on board the plane in certain circumstances.
Gate-checking the carseat should be encouraged if and when it isn't possible to use it on board the aircraft for the child. If nothing else, a gate-checked seat is much less likely to be lost than a seat that was checked with luggage.
Standard strollers, folding wagons, and car seats can be used to get to your gate and then checked for free. They'll be returned to you on arrival. Collapsible strollers can be stored in-cabin. Car seats can be used onboard your flight too.
