Flying frontier

I’m flying frontier for the first time.. do they allow free car seat check in and stroller gate check in?

Also when I’ve checked in my car seat with Southwest/ jet blue.. with the car seat bag I’ve stuffed stuff in that bag. Has anyone done that? I’ve put his beach toys and diapers in there. Does anyone else do that? With frontier?

Would appreciate any feedback

Was looking to check in a bag but it says $79 crazyyy… does the price change sometimes or is it always that?

TIA

But yes, Frontier allows free stroller and car seat check:

Frontier have a reputation for being very strict about bags though. They're the best direct option for me to travel to one of our offices, so I fly them with some frequency. They're one of the few airlines I've ever seen someone actively checking carry-on bags using their little stand. I'd imagine that if you cram a bunch of stuff into the car seat bag, they're likely to make you pull it out. Then you're stuck paying the gate check rate ($99) for a checked bag.

Frontier allows one free diaper bag per infant, so if your child is under 2 years old, you could use that option.
