Right after security
Copenhagen makes security easy with kids: families with children under about 6 can use a dedicated family lane, and baby food, breast milk and water are exempt from the 100 ml rule. Right after security you can borrow a free stroller and keep it to the aircraft. For play, there is an outdoor playground with a big blue wooden airplane before security, an indoor play area between Gates A and B opposite The Union Kitchen, and two play areas at Gates E109 and E131. CPH mentions a babylounge and changing tables but doesn't publish exact locations.

Feeding
Copenhagen publishes no nursing room. Here is where we looked and what we found instead.
Changing
Security
Family lane
Families with children under about 6 can use the family lane at security. If you have a child under 2 or a child in a stroller, look for the small family icon for the manual entrance. CPH recommends arriving 2 hours before Schengen flights and 3 hours before non-Schengen flights at busy times.
Strollers and car seats
With a child under 2 or in a stroller, use the manual entrance marked with the family icon. Free strollers are available to borrow right after security.
Formula, milk and baby food
Baby food is exempt from the liquids rule: you may bring more than 100 ml of baby food, purees, pouches, smoothies, breast milk, water and boiling water in your carry-on. Place it visibly in a tray; it may be checked further.
Shoes and jackets
CPH publishes no special shoe rule for children.
TSA PreCheck with kids
Not applicable outside the US. CPH Express lanes 10 and 20 serve domestic flights, 05:00 to 21:00.
Know before you land.
Velivolo puts every airport's family facilities, and your airline's car seat and stroller rules, in your pocket.
The outdoor playground before security is a good place to wait.
Stop guessing what's past security.
Gate-level family facilities for airports worldwide, checked against official sources and dated so you know how fresh they are.
Put baby food, milk and water in a tray where officers can see them.
Borrow a stroller
Right after security, borrow a free airport stroller and keep it all the way to the aircraft.
Play before boarding
Stop at the indoor play area between Gates A and B, or at Gates E109 and E131 if you fly from Pier E.
Free strollers can be borrowed right after the security check and kept all the way to the aircraft. CPH doesn't publish how many there are or age limits.
CPH doesn't publish its own gate-check rule; that is set by your airline.
Transfers
Walkways
Copenhagen's check-in halls are in Terminals 2 and 3, joined by a shared security checkpoint. Piers A to F branch off the airside centre, and Pier E (non-Schengen) is past passport control. CPH's airport map shows changing tables and nursing icons.
Layover playbook
What to actually do, by how long you have.
Know your rights
Lactation rooms
No Danish or EU rule confirmed for CPH guarantees a dedicated lactation room. CPH mentions a babylounge and nursing icons on its map; ask staff for the nearest one.
Changing tables
No statute confirmed, but CPH states many restrooms have changing tables marked with an icon.
Milk and formula
Baby food, purees, pouches, smoothies, breast milk, water and boiling water are allowed over 100 ml in carry-on luggage; place them visibly in a tray.
Boarding
CPH publishes no family priority boarding policy; that is set by your airline.
If the facility is not there
Ask any CPH staff member or contact CPH Customer Service via cph.dk.
