We gate checked our car seat in April but on our Jan trip we checked it at curbside. Delta put it in a plastic bag for us and it was no problem. Airtran didn't provide bags but it was still clean and not damaged. If you are worried about them getting soiled you could always remove the cover. The car seat always came thought he carousel with our luggage undamaged. It really wasn't too bad keeping up with it but I can understand how difficult it could be with 2.

The safety freak in me has to plead with you.... PLEASE don't compromise the safety of your children by not taking car seats!!!!! Get a sky cap... something will work out! If you use them faithfully at home chances are it will be confusing to your children that they don't have to always use them. I believe Florida law states that children 3 & under have to be in approved child safety seats but I could be wrong about that. Mickey had a good suggestion about the built in seats in mini vans. Perhaps a call to the rental co. would help. Safety first!!! Good Luck!
