One of the many traveling with children questions

The hubby and I are taking #'s 1,2 & 3 to Disney in January. We do not travel light since the weather could be 90 or 10 in January. That being said we will have the double stroller, golf clubs, 3 suitcases (minimum), 2 car seats and an umbrella stroller (probably). Now, we are flying Southwest. I do NOT have a seat for the baby, I am betting on the fact it will not be a full flight (as of tonight there are over 100 seats open each way). I was going to check #2's car seat with #1's booster in the same bag. The baby however, I want him in a car seat on the plane. Would you buy:

A. Another car seat travel bag JIC there are no empty seats and it will be checked $30
B. A car seat gate check bag to keep it clean under the plane $20
C. One of those things that strap to the carry on bag to stroll said baby on the carry on in the car seat $15
D. Both C & B $35
E. Something COMPLETELY different

ETA: Keep in mind I have the umbrella stroller for the baby to ride in IN the airport if necessary

I would just buy a carseat bag and if your DC doesn't get a seat, just have the FA put it under the plane for you. If you don't need to use it, just return it after the trip.
