Peg Perego Pliko on a plane?

[JanBaby]

We are flying several times this spring with DD and the only stroller we have is the PP Pliko. We haven't flown with her now that she's older and I've got everything else figured out (I think). We plan to gate check the stroller. I realize the Peg probably isn't the ideal travel stroller but I hate to buy one since we don't even use this one all that much. Any recommendations for traveling with this stroller?

We've taken ours on 10 flights in 10 months and it has held up great...but we do put it in a gate check stroller bag ($10 at Target).

I once had a wheel broken (even in a bag) but bought a replacement one after a flight. I still prefer to travel with a cheaper stroller except for WDW. Have a great trip!

The first time we flew with it, we gate checked it, but didn't use a bag and SWA busted it up something fierce. It was $150 to fix and I got them to foot the bill. :D

The times after that, we used a travel bag and it came out just fine.
