Flying into T4 at 3pm but departing flight is at 9pm out of T2. It's an awful itinerary and I'm flying solo with kids. If I go thru immig and customs, claim bags, do I then head to T2 to recheck bags? Assume have to take all bags onto airtrain, yes? No easier way to get there? Btw, does anyone know if there are smart carts avail and do they allow onto air train? Thanks for any info provided.

Assuming your bags are tagged all the way to your final destination (which they should be able to do for you at NRT), you should be able to recheck your bags at T4 right after you exit immigration and customs. If you need or want to take them to T2, you will be able to take a smartcart on the AirTrain with you.
