Airline Luggage Policy for Children

Every airline has a different policy for luggage for both adults and children. It's worth checking ahead of time to make sure you don't get stuck with any unintended baggage fees. Most airlines will, however, check at least one infant item -- a stroller or carseat -- for no fees, and some may even check both for no fees. You might also want to check if what the airlines' policy for gatecheck is; if you do plan to gatecheck, you might want to get to the gate counter a few minutes prior to boarding to get the special tags for your items. It will save you and everyone else time for boarding.

In addition, if you have frequent flyer benefits with an airline, you might find that you get more than your regular baggage allowance and you can check additional items like carseats and strollers for no additional fee.

Note that baggage allowances vary by international and domestic flights and that if you are flying internationally and are planning to take a regional flight in-country, you might find the regional airline will have a different fee structure, especially if it's a discount airline like Spirit Air.
