    How are you guys flying? When my kid was an infant, we used to have this car seat/stroller combo so I would detach the seat and use it in the car, and put the stroller in the trunk. And when we wanted to use the stroller, the car seat would click into the stroller making it a breeze. Now that the kid is a toddler, how do you guys make taking a toddler car seat and toddler stroller more efficient? Any advice appreciated.

    You can’t. Just buy more strollers and car seats. I think I have 10 in various stages.

    My toddler just learned to walk. How'd you get yours to fly?

    I can't put my fingers on it, but McGruber looks a bit off.

    We rented a car seat with our car rental so to avoid having to lug one around at the airport. But if you aren’t renting a car I would just baggage check the car seat.

    We also rented a stroller from the place where we stayed but it was a resort so that’s pretty common. otherwise, I’d buy a cheap stroller when you get there...Or just make that little F’er walk!

    Buy the lightest stroller you can find. Wheel everything.

    Renting the car seat is more than the actual car rental

    I've found it easier just to check them in as baggage.

    If it was just one kid, I would agree. But when you have more than one, it’s worth it.
