Gate-checking your stroller is the most convenient option. Upon arriving at the gate, you'll be given a tag, then simply leave the stroller at the aircraft door. Upon landing, it will be waiting for you at the gate. For small collapsible strollers, you can usually store them in the overhead bin, depending on airline policy. Always check with your airline beforehand to ensure you're complying with their specific regulations.
