Stroller and DME - gate check

[tinkerbellmagic]

Hi, I'm asking for my son's family. If they gate check a stroller and are using DME for the rest of their luggage, where do they retrieve the stroller when the flight is over so that they can bring the stroller to stow below the DME bus? Just out of curiousity, where is the stroller stored during the flight? This is their first time bringing a stroller on a flight so not sure what to do. Thanks so much!

They will give you back the stroller when you get off the plane. There will be a group of strollers waiting when you step off the plane onto to the ramp.

Thanks a bunch! That means they can head to DME right after they get the stroller without going to baggage claim.

I'm gonna piggyback off your question tinkerbellmagic. Is it ok to bring a full size stroller for gate check-in or is it limited to only smaller "umbrella" type strollers?

You can gate check a full size stroller. We did. Best to always check on your airline's website. But we flew southwest and gate checked a full size stroller.
