Flying soon - ?? about carry-ons, ID for kids, and gate checking strollers

[Barb D]

We'll (hopefully) be flying in a little over a week.

1. The kids had already planned what they were taking in their carry-ons (stuffed animals, books, electronic games, travel games, etc.) I need to take some things for my toddler (Pull-Ups, a sippy cup, toys to keep her occupied.) Will limits on carry-ons be so strict that any of these things will be a problem? (Is the rumor true that only women's purses and hip-packs will be allowed?)

2. Do I now need birth certificates for all my kids? How about photo ID's?

3. Can I still gate-check my stroller?

right now carry on is limited. they are thoroughly checking them. at least here they are. we may bring a small bag with things for little ones to do on the plane. as for gate checking they told me that now we can do it. your stroller will be searched. nothing yet on id for the kids but it might not be a bad idea to get it or take the birth certificate.
