Hello all... We are planning to take a vacation in January. We have twin boys who will be under 2 at the time of the trip and we are considering flying with them as lap passengers. I've reviewed the official southwest literature and I've checked the discussion boards as well about the general policies of flying with young children, but i still have some questions... hopefully someone can help me out. Here is what i know so far. They are required to have their birth certificates for proof of age, I am allowed 1 car seat per child and 1 stroller per child that can be checked in and placed with the other luggage, and i am also allowed 2 bags per adult (within the size & weight limit) that can be checked as well with no extra fees. Am i correct? If that is the case, what is the max weight/dimensions of the stroller? I have a double wide stroller. It is not obscenely big and folds in half, but it is bigger than a singleton stroller. I dont want to find out at check-in that my stroller is too big to fit. Also, we are meeting family at our destination, and they will be providing us with a vehicle to use while we are away from home. The car seats come with bases that attach and lock in to the seat itself. We planned to use both the car seats and bases while on this trip. Can I attach the base to the seat and have it be stowed away as one piece? Finally, there is a good chance that we will be flying with buddy passes (pending the flights look empty enough), I assume all the policies that apply to ticketed customers still apply to those flying stand-by/budd pass, but would there be any additional restricitons since we wont have physical tickets? And, if the flight is open and we recieve seats, will we be able to board with the family group? Thanks in advance
