Volaris
Policies verified March 2026
Volaris is Mexico's largest low-cost carrier and operates with a bare-bones approach to family travel. There are no bassinets, no entertainment, and no kids' meals. The one genuine perk is that lap infants fly free, which is unusual for budget carriers. One stroller or car seat flies free, and the optional Baby Combo add-on (around $40) covers an extra diaper bag. Volaris works for budget Mexico travel, but bring absolutely everything yourself.

Can I bring a stroller on Volaris?
Volaris does not allow strollers in the cabin at all. Gate check is free for one stroller per child. As a low-cost carrier, the ground handling is basic, so a travel bag is a good idea to protect your stroller. The Baby Combo add-on covers an extra diaper bag if you need more capacity.
Can I use a car seat on Volaris?
Volaris accepts FAA-approved car seats with both forward and rear-facing permitted. You need to purchase a seat for your child. No published width limit. As with the stroller, only one piece of baby gear flies free, so plan your gear strategy before you get to the airport.
Does Volaris allow toddler airplane beds?
Volaris has no published policy on inflatable sleep devices, and crew discretion is the only guide. With no bassinets, no entertainment, and no kids' meals, Volaris is a bring-everything-yourself airline. Sleep devices are a gamble here. Check the table below for airlines with explicit approvals.
