Child seats on your flight
Aer Lingus
A fully collapsible push-chair/stroller is allowed free of charge for an infant or child booking, plus one of the following items: car seat, booster seat, or travel cot. If the push-chair/stroller is checked in at a desk, it will only be available on the baggage belt when you land. If the push-chair/stroller is handed in at the boarding gate, it can be collected at the applicable collection point at your destination.
British Airways
If you’re travelling with your child (over 2 years), you can bring your own single-piece car seat to attach to their aircraft seat, providing it meets the airline safety requirements. You can take the car seat on board the plane if you've booked a seat for your infant or child and intend to secure the car seat on board. Alternatively, your car seat must be checked into the hold as one of the two free essential extras allowed for children, even on a hand baggage only (Basic) fare.
EasyJet
EasyJet can carry up to two additional items for your child in the hold for free. These include a travel cot, pushchair, car seat, collapsible or non-collapsible pram, booster seat and/or baby back carrier. Infants sitting in their own seat will need to use a car seat for take-off and landing, and any time when asked by the crew. If you don’t intend to use your car seat on board, please check it into the hold at the Bag Drop desks.
First Choice
if you need to take a car seat, most airlines will carry it free of charge and will also let you check in pushchairs as hold luggage for free. You can usually take the pushchair to the boarding gate before handing it to a member of staff and they’ll check it in for you. Just ask the airline to confirm this when you get to the check-in desk. As well as a pushchair, most infants under two years old will get their own hold baggage allowance.
Jet2
If you’re travelling with an infant or child, a collapsible pushchair and/or a car seat and/or a travel cot can be carried in the hold free of charge, as long as the total weight of these items doesn’t exceed 10kg. You can check in car seats up to 10kg into the hold for free. Alternatively, if your car seat is for a travelling infant aged between 0 and 2 years old and is suitable for use onboard Jet2 planes, it can be taken onboard.
KLM Royal Dutch Airlines
For each child, you can bring a car seat or Child Aviation Restraint System (CARES) without any additional costs. If you’ve booked a seat for an infant (instead of travelling on your lap), they can sit in their car seat. Because of limited seating options when using a car seat, you need to make a reservation by contacting Virgin Atlantic at least 48 hours before departure. The car seat may show no defects, needs to be visibly certified for air transport, and needs to fit between the armrests of the aircraft seat, which is 42 cm wide.
Ryanair
You can bring 2 items of carry-on baby equipment for free. This can include a pushchair/buggy, car seat, booster seat or travel cot. These will need to be tagged at the check-in desk or at the boarding gate. You will be able to use your pushchair/buggy until you get to the steps of the aircraft. If you bring a car seat for an infant under 2 years of age and wish them to sit in this car seat for the duration of the flight, you will need to book an extra seat for them. You may bring a car seat on board for an infant or child if it is approved for flying.
TAP Portugal
Up to 10kg of hold luggage is allowed for children less than 2 years of age. Excess baggage will be charged by every kg over the limit. Use of a baby seat of the car baby seat type is required on flights operated by TAP (only applicable in cases in which you wish to reserve a seat for your baby). A car-type infant seat is accepted and placed on a regular cabin seat (front or rear facing), subject to the conditions outlined on their website.
TUI
You’re able to check pushchairs and car seats into the hold for free (pushchairs and prams must be collapsible). You can use your pushchair up to the gate if you wish before hanging it to ground staff to put in the hold before you depart. Car seats must be a TUI approved size - less than 40cm wide to fit in the plane seat. If your pushchair or car seat is no more than 55cmx40cmx20cm and weighs no more than 10kg, you can bring this into the cabin as your large piece of hand luggage.
Virgin Atlantic
If you've booked a seat for an infant (instead of travelling on your lap) they can sit in their car seat. They must be next to an accompanying adult or young adult age 12 or over. If you have two children in car seats, you’ll need to have them either side of you. Booster seats are fine to use onboard, but they'll need to be stowed away in the overhead compartments for taxi, take-off and landing, and when the Fasten Seat Belt signs are on.
