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

Product Information

is a perfectly reasonable weight for carry-on luggage, especially if you have an additional personal item.

What really pisses me off are the jerks that take bigger than allowed bag, more than one small and one personal and the biggest jerk of them all the ones that decide its fine to put their bags in the first/business/premium economy/preferred seats and stroll to the back. If you are on a connecting flight and your bag was gate-checked for the first leg of a trip, be sure to verify with the agent checking your bag whether it needs to be picked up and re-checked or collected at any point along your travel route. This is different from regularly checking your bag, as the process is normally completed at a check-in desk/ticket counter pre-security, rather than at the departure gate before you board your flight. However, we're traveling with carry-on size bags to join a tour in Germany and won't be hanging around the final destination (FRA) for very long.In most cases, gate checked bags will be sent to the baggage claim along with all the paid, checked luggage. Yes the meaning of those words "gate check" have been strained by the airlines when dealing with mainline aircraft.

The JL Childress Bright Red Gate Check Bag for Car Sears has been a go-to travel bag for parents for over a decade. I fly frequently and believe that the people who habitually try to bring in a roller bag, a backpack and a briefcase or large purse and a carry on are total douchebags.

After it fit the gate manager probably did not like my smirk and still insisted the bag be gate checked. The Lufthansa carry on size requirements are almost identical to United's (1cm shorter lengthways but slightly longer for the other dimensions). Protecting your child’s car seat when you gate check it is made easy by the bag’s large size (fits almost ALL car seats), lockable draw-string closure, carry handle, reinforced seams and attached stretch pouch that makes unfolding and refolding quick and easy.

It's the weight requirement that's strict (8kg limit on Lufthansa vs 18kg with United), and LH does weigh them.

I fly often for work and the amount of times my flight has taken off late because no one will volunteer to gate check their obviously too large "carry on" suitcase is infuriating. We had packed medical devices in those cases, rather than carry them separately, for convenience whilst rushing to connections.If an airline adds 15lbs to every passenger’s estimated weight to cover carry on bags, but you encourage them to sneak on an extra 5 or 10lbs, those calculations will all be off. A storm came up before boarding and several flights were then combined into one for her first plane and her flight was the last to be loaded. Since my issue is not one of wanting convenience (I always have to check a bag with my clothes anyway), but rather a matter of life or death at worst, or at best a totally ruined vacation if I land in the hospital, selfish flyers totally pass me off.
