We have always gate checked our babies car seat and stroller. This results in our car seat bag waiting for us at the jet bridge at the destination. I believe this is a little different than normal gate checking of normal bags that end up going to the baggage carousel.

But we have never had to do that with a connection. Next week we have a trip to Iceland that has a Layover in Chicago. Will the seat and stroller bags be waiting in the jet bridge in Chicago or since there is a connection and it is international, do they forward it to the next flight automatically (and does it wait there at the jet bridge or at the baggage carouse)

Thanks for the help
