We travel a bit with our baby and have found that the stroller gets filthy if you don't have a bag for gate check. Using a cheap stroller isn't an option as we use the stroller heavily at our destinations. It is really expensive, yes, but worth it to us. Added bonus is that we normally add other carry ons, like heavy coats, in the travel bag before we gate check it.

We bought this thinking we would use it to travel a lot with our Quinny.
