I've used THIS CAR SEAT COVER for traveling with my pack and have been very pleased with the result. Slide your pack in, cinch it up, and you're done. TSA recognizes them so they don't freak out and tear things apart. PLus at under $11 with Prime, they're pretty cheap
I've done long road trips and we took our 4 month old from charlotte to newark on the plane in November.
Air: Be prepared to act like a sherpa, security is going to take a while. There are often family lines that allow you to skip the main junk so someone can help with all of the extra stuff like a stroller, and car seat, etc. There are red gate check bags that are worth buying because they make it easy to spot and we noticed our stuff came out first & unharmed.
Try to get a bottle going right before the flight, my kid passed out right after and stayed asleep for most of the flight. Bring things you can use as suckers to help with the ear popping.
Car: Make frequent pit stops, every hour and a half worked for us. Sometimes her mom had to sit in the back to soothe her. That probably won't work for you, so stopping often will help everyone. It'll just take a while to get places. Sucks, but you gotta do it.
Can check the car seat for free. They sell gate check bags online that can help protect the seat. If you take your stroller, I would get gate check bag for it. When I flew with our stroller they just threw it down a shoot onto the ground. It got pretty messed up.
We just flew Delta with my son last week. They were great with our luggage, but I'd still recommend putting your checked items in a bag. There's just so much... crap... and debris... and elements on the plane.
For our umbrella stroller (Summer Infant 3D Lite) I used this check bag and it worked great. We wheeled my son around the airport in the stroller once we got through TSA and right up to the gate - stuffed it in the bag and left it at the door. It was waiting there for us when we got off the plane.
Sounds like you're taking a full sized stroller/travel system? I'd go with this bag for the stroller, and then this one for the bucket seat.
The bags are super thin, so they're not going to protect your items if they get tossed around - but they will save the fabric from grease/oil/gunk.
I have a 60L pack and this car seat cover gets the job done. JL Childress Gate Check Bag for Car Seats, Red https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000RRD7UG/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_FBCACb28W6K70
We bought these to gate or baggage check our carseats. They don't actually work too well for baggage check but do a great job for gate checking to protect against dirt. (They're soft-sided, though, so don't expect them to protect against anything more than dirt).
I got one of These
Either way if you don't bag it up somehow it will prob get dirty. I didn't want to have to worry about cleaning the seat after arriving.
Always ask the gate agent about booked flights. I wasn't allowed to use my seat on the plane but always get my own row. I just tell them I'm worried about the baby disturbing people. They also carry the car seat and stroller for me when I check them if I ask for help.
