V.T.
I would check with Southwest. A lot of airlines do not allow for the double strollers to be gate checked. I was able to gate check mine because I disassembled it and put it in a bag, otherwise, American wouldn't let me gate check it. I would get a bag for the booster seat, but that's a personal preference, I see people all the time just put it in a clear bag. The car seats should check for free as well as the stroller. With 3 tickets on Southwest, you get 6 free checked bags, not including the car seats and stroller. Is the pack n play going to be one of the 6 bags? If not, there will be a charge of $50 each way for the pack n play. For $100 you can either rent one or buy a cheap one when you get there. Also, Southwest needs proof of age for the baby. When my daughter was 4 months old, they asked for proof of age. I brought her newborn discharge papers from the hospital because I didn't have a birth certificate yet. After that I got a birth certificate and used that.
