Is there damage risk from gate checking? We have to fly in October. Our "travel" carseat is a cheap seat - cost like $45 - would it make more sense to just buy another one and have it shipped to grandma's house to stay...

My neighbors are bringing home an 18 mo old from Ethiopia in a few months (so he'll be 20-22 months) - I think this is a wonderful thing and am so happy for them I am wondering through if I need to be concerned about anything? DS is...
