If you plan to carry your child’s car seat through the airport, to the plane, you’ll want to bring both the car seat and stroller and then gate-check the latter. If you’re carrying your infant or you have a toddler who plans to sit on your lap, however, you will want to check their car seat.Įither way, make a plan for each kid before you get to the airport, so everyone knows what they’re carrying and which bags are being dropped at each stopping point. These are especially helpful for kids who are in the gray zone of not quite needing a car seat on the plane, but still needing to adhere to safety measures. There are also folding travel seats for toddlers-like the WayB Pico-which can work well for little ones on international flights. Most children under 40 pounds should use a child restraint system of some kind if they have their own seat on an airplane (which will be the case when they turn 2), according to the FAA.
You’ll have two options: Check your car seat when you check into your flight-for free on most airlines-or carry it through the airport with you, to the plane. Planning ahead is the key to easier travel.
