There are a few things you need to keep in mind when gate checking a car seat. First, make sure the car seat is properly installed and that the harness is tightened. Second, make sure the car seat is clean and free of any loose items that could fall out and get lost. Finally, make sure the car seat is properly labeled with your contact information.
When you arrive at the airport, tell the agent at the gate that you will be checking a car seat. They will likely ask you to remove the seat from the stroller or carrier. You can then proceed to the gate check area, where you will be given a tag to put on the car seat. Make sure the tag is securely attached to the car seat.
The car seat will then be loaded on to the plane and stored in a special area. When you land, you will need to retrieve the car seat from the gate check area. Before you leave the airport, make sure the car seat is properly installed in your car.
