Can I carry on/check in a child's car seat for free for a flight?
I am not flying with my child. Instead, I will meet my child at the destination of my flight. I have a small backpack and one carry-on bag, which is free for most airlines. Can I carry on additionally a child's car seat? In fact, it is a booster seat. It will not be used during the flight, but will be used in a rental car in the destination city.
To be more specific, I will fly with Delta and JetBlue this time. If checking in the booster seat would be free, that should be the best solution for me. Can I?
Best Answer
According to Delta's Baggage page you can check the child seat at curbside and doesn't count as standard baggage allowance. For JetBlue it's the same thing.
If the child doesn't fly with you it will count as baggage allowance in a standard way. They definitely won't let you bring it aboard the aircraft but they may not even let you bring it through security if they don't see a child with you.

Answer 2
My experience with Jet Blue that first baggage is free plus they allow to check in a car seat and also a carriage they even let you walk with the baby in the carriage till the flight for your convenience and over there they take it over and you getting it back right when exiting flight.
All The Best!
