Carry baby in infant car seat onto plane?

[loveysbydesign]

Those of you who've traveled with an infant (ours will be 5 m.o. when we go to WDW) do you carry them on the plane in their infant car seat and then put it in the overhead compartment? We will need it for our rental car when we get off th plane.

it needs to be checked in, will not go in overhead compartment. You could try to gate check it before airplane entry as we do with our stroller.

PLEASE take the baby out of the car seat! Man, I've heard of frugal, but throwing the kid in the overhead is just crazy. LOL. Just kidding - I know what you meant. It just "sounded" funny.

Sorry, I'm a natural blond-LOL!
I was afraid of the seat getting damaged so that's why I'm unsure of the best way to transport ot to WDW. We put my older kids care seats in a carseat bag this past May but I wasn't sure what to do w/the infant carrier!
