We are traveling with our daughter and will need the stroller at our destination, but don't really need it for getting around the airport (it might actually be a bit of a hindrance if she want to be carried around the airport since we will have her care seat with us).

Which is more reliable and less damaging on the stroller, gate checking or desk check in. Oh and the stroller has a bag if thy makes a difference, but it's not obviously a stiller by the bag.

We have 1 connection in Dallas.
