Can I bring a stroller on Icelandair?
Icelandair does not allow strollers in the cabin. Gate-checked strollers are returned at baggage claim rather than at the gate, which is less convenient than most carriers. One stroller per child flies free. Plan accordingly for connections in Reykjavik.
Can I use a car seat on Icelandair?
Icelandair accepts car seats with any major certification. Both forward and rear-facing are allowed. Gate check conditions may vary, so confirm with the airline before travel. No published seat width limit.
Does Icelandair allow toddler airplane beds?
Icelandair explicitly approves the Flyaway Kids Bed for onboard use during cruise. It must be stowed during takeoff and landing. This makes Icelandair one of the more accommodating transatlantic carriers for toddler sleep. A genuine plus for families on overnight flights through Reykjavik.
