Strollers, buggies and other child / infant baggage
For children (2-11 years), the same baggage regulations apply as for adult passengers. In addition, you can check in one 23 kg piece of baggage free of charge per infant (0-23 months), regardless of the fare.
Two of the following items may be carried and checked in as baggage per infant/child free of charge:
Stroller
Baby buggy
Child car seat
Travel cot
Child carrier
Foldable children’s wagon
Please drop off larger items such as strollers directly at the check-in counter along with your regular checked baggage (not at bulky baggage or kiosks). The label for the stroller will be provided at check-in. In most cases, the stroller can be taken to the gate (this may vary depending on the airport). Carriage of non-foldablerigid handcarts (as alternative to a foldable children’s wagon) is not allowed.
Further items of baggage must be booked at extra cost. It is not possible to take strollers or buggies (except “pocket buggies”) on board the aircraft.
Pocket Buggies
You can take “pocket buggies” instead of one large cabin bag (max. 8 kg) on board, e.g. if you have booked the SMART fare.
Booster seats
If your child is to sit on a booster seat in the cabin, this must first be examined at the check-in counter to ensure it is suitable for the flight. For this reason, web check-in is not available for passengers bringing a booster seat. Learn more about child seats here.
Comfort Devices
So-called “comfort devices” that are attached to the passenger seat or placed in the footwell (e.g. inflatable items, seat extenders, etc.) may not be used on board of Eurowings flights for safety reasons.
Baby Carriers and Baby Slings
The use of baby carriers and baby slings is not permitted during the flight. Infants must be properly secured and fastened, either in an approved child restraint system or with an infant safety belt.
Travelling with infants (0-23 months) in the BASIC fare
If your infant is travelling on your lap, you can take two small pieces of hand baggage (40 x 30 x 25 cm) on board. These must be stowed under the front seat.You can find more information on hand baggage in the BASIC fare here.
Children may use a booster seat, provided you have booked a separate seat for your child (bookings for children under the age of two can only be made via the call centre or at our airport counter).
You can take your own booster seat on board. Neither Eurowings nor its partner airlines provide booster seats.
Please note that you must check in at the airport counter if you intend to use a booster seat in the cabin. As a representative at the check-in counter will make sure the booster seat is suitable for your flight, online check-in and self-service check-in are not possible.
If you would like to bring your own car seat or child restraint system on board, please ensure:
If a seat does not comply with requirements, our employees are authorized to prevent its use and to stow the seat in a separate location. In such cases, infants will be secured with a loop belt on the adult's lap. We regret that it will not be possible to refund the price paid for the separate seat.
In order to take your flight, all travellers are required to show proof of identity – even children/adolescents and infants. European directives require children to travel with their own travel documents.
The following applies if siblings are travelling together without an adult guardian:
If Child 1 is between 5 and 11 years old and Child 2 is 12 or older, Child 2 can act as the chaperone for Child 1. This requires completion of the Parental Consent Form, which is to be signed by all legal guardians or parents and the chaperone, and to be carried at all times during the journey. Additionally, Eurowings recommends to complete and sign the form for young persons travelling alone and giving it to Child 2 to take along on the trip.
Please note that individual entry and exit regulations exist for children and minors travelling alone to and from some countries, including France, Spain, Italy, Portugal, Croatia, Romania, and Israel.
We would like to expressly remind you that an air passenger's compliance with a country's entry and exit regulations is your own responsibility. We recommend contacting the relevant authorities for information on any requirements and obtaining any necessary documentation well in advance of travel.
Only the child's age at the time of boarding the last flight on the booking is relevant. For safety reasons, only one infant under two years of age per adult is permitted on board. For a second infant under the age of two, there is also the option of booking a seat and travelling with the appropriate child restraint system. Please contact our call centre for more information.
In accordance with the law on the adaptation of the technical regulations for the allocation of seats for children (between 2-12 years old) to and from Italy, published on 17 July 2021 by the Italian authority ENAC, you are entitled to a free seat reservation if you
you have made a booking in the BASIC fare and
you are travelling with a child between 2 and 12 years old
Passengers who have not booked the BASIC fare can select their seat free of charge here.
