Any tips re taking Maxi Cosi/Quinny Zapp combo on long haul flight to USA?

[drr]

I want to use the Maxi Cosi baby car seat with quinny zapp wheels as my pushchair and car seat when in the USA. Will the baby seat and/or wheels fit into the overhead lockers? Will I have to put the seat in the hold?

Has anyone done this before? Any tips for me?

you will have to put it all in the hold at the gate

buy a travel bag for the buggy

thanks EldonAve. do i need to protect the car seat too for the hold?

If you have bubble wrap that works well
Depending on who you fly with they may provide a plastic bag

We have taken the zapp part in its bag as hand luggage on to the plane...
