If you check in the stroller at BA's check-in counter at CDG, the stroller will likely be tagged to MIA with no need to claim it at LHR. Check your claim tag in that case to make sure it says MIA (and LHR for a CDG-MIA-LHR routing) and that there is nothing about "gate-delivery" on the claim check, check-in tag for the stroller, or otherwise.

If you want to gate check in the stroller and have the stroller tagged for delivery at MIA baggage claim (but not tagged for delivery at LHR), there is a risk of a mess up unless and until you're given a claim check of sort that mentions that the bag is to be delivered at MIA. In such case, make sure it has no gate-delivery tag/instructions on the tag/stroller, or there could be the unfortunate problem of the stroller being gate-delivered at LHR and you not knowing about that until it's too late.
Very helpful - thank you.

I will discuss the options with Mrs BB and see what we think is best.
