You got this! I've done this!

-baby strapped to me in her carrier
-backpack of baby stuff i need accessible on my back
-rollaboard full of stuff i needed for my layover
-carseat in a sack balanced on the rollaboard.

As someone mentioned, I COULD have done it all alone, very slowly. However, as I inched pathetically along, FA came to help and carried car seat on. On my connecting flight (in Dubai) FA refused to help and said she wasnt allowed. In that case, a passenger (female police officer as a matter of fact) helped me. I didn't ask, she offered. BUT, at that point I would't have been shy to ask. Its ok!

Car seat (Cosco Scenera) on brica roll n go obviates need for stroller.

Baby is either worn or rides in car seat through the airport.

If baby is worn, car seat is wheeled and doubles as luggage cart for diaper bag and suitcase.

If baby is in car seat, diaper bag is carried or strapped onto suitcase, which is pulled behind.

I was rarely offered (or needed) help.
