anyone flown with a BOB?

BSE

trying to decide if we should take our BOB or an umbrella stroller on our SW flight to denver- i've only ever flown with the snap and go. i think it'd be nice to have the BOB once there but it's so big so i'm not sure if it's worth it and i don't want to have to worry about it getting damaged. But if you have flown with your BOB did you gate check it? have some sort of bag to put it in? thanks!
