Emirates

Emirates conditionally allows one fully collapsible stroller in the cabin if space is available, but you cannot bring a car seat onboard at the same time. For infants under 2, one stroller or car seat or carry-cot is checked free. For children 2 and over, it counts against your checked baggage allowance. Strollers are not returned at the aircraft door.

Emirates accepts a broad range of car seat certifications including FMVSS 213, CMVSS, ECE R44, and ECE R129. Window seats are required, with forward-facing for children over 10 kg and rear-facing under 10 kg. The age limit is 36 months. One important restriction: you cannot bring both a car seat and stroller as cabin baggage on the same flight.

Emirates bans all inflatable sleep devices. Seat extenders, hammocks, inflatable footrests like Plane Pal, and BedBox products are all prohibited. Only the Cozigo bassinet cover is permitted. Some passengers report inconsistent enforcement, but the official policy is a clear no. Check the table below for airlines with more permissive sleep device rules.

Bassinets available in Economy, Premium Economy, and Business on all long-haul aircraft. Request at booking or via Manage a Booking. Not available when a child fare seat is booked. Max 11kg (24.3lb).

Dedicated baby meals (Ella's Kitchen organic) for infants and kids' meals for ages 2-12. Milk formula and bottles available on request. Bottle warming service provided.

Priority boarding for families with children at all international airports.

One stroller or car seat or carry-cot checked free per infant under 2. Counts against checked allowance for children 2 and over.

Lap infants pay a discounted percentage of the adult fare (typically 10%) plus taxes on all routes. No free domestic option as Emirates has no domestic network.

Complimentary strollers available at Dubai International Airport (DXB) for families with young children.
