I will be flying next week with 10 month old twins and a four year old. I have a foldable wagon that seats four kids and the seats have to come out for it to fold. Is this something I can gate check? I have seen other discussions about foldable wagons but I haven't seen anything about what the policy is if the seats have to be removed in order for it to collapse.
Hola!
This subject was discussed and addressed before in a prior post. I assume transport of the removable seats would be accommodated but I would send the link of the model to SW Customer service to be sure:

Here's what @DancingDavidE mentioned in the prior thread:
If it folds up like a stroller then it would be treated like a stroller. Particularly if the manufacturer advertises it as airport friendly you should be fine. Send a link to the specific model if you still aren't sure.
For instance - if you put it inside one of the Southwest blue bags to protect it from scuffs, and no one would know whether it was a wagon or a stroller inside the bag - then it is equivalent to a stroller.
This is the website: https://www.southwest.com/html/customer-service/baggage/carryon-bags-pol.html?CLK=SITESEARCH

-> they describe "any type of stroller" which the wagon seems to be equivalent as long as it folds up and is able to be carried by the baggage handler.
Hope this helps!
