Can I bring a stroller on KLM?
KLM allows compact foldable strollers in the cabin if they fit within 100x30x15 cm. Note the unusual dimension order in their policy. Gate check is free for one stroller per child. The dimensions are more generous on length than most carriers, which works well for umbrella-style strollers.
Can I use a car seat on KLM?
KLM accepts car seats with any major certification (FAA, EASA, or equivalent) and has a relatively generous 42 cm maximum seat width. Both forward and rear-facing are allowed, and gate check is available. This makes KLM one of the more accommodating European carriers for families travelling with car seats.
Does KLM allow toddler airplane beds?
KLM is one of the most permissive airlines globally for sleep devices. BedBox, Fly Tot, Plane Pal, and the 1st Class Kid Travel Pillow are all explicitly approved. Devices must be stowed during takeoff, taxiing, and landing, and anything that attaches to the seat is banned. If a sleep device matters to you, KLM should be near the top of your list.
