Can you bring a baby carrier on a plane with JetBlue Airways when traveling with a baby?

 

Bringing a baby carrier on JetBlue

 

Yes — you can bring and use a baby carrier on a JetBlue flight. Wearable carriers (slings, wraps, soft-structured carriers) are generally allowed in the cabin, but crew and safety rules apply.

  • Safety phases: During taxi, takeoff, landing and turbulence the flight crew may ask you to remove the baby from the carrier. If you buy a seat for your child, an FAA-approved child restraint (car seat) is required for use in that seat — most soft carriers are not FAA-approved for use during these phases.
  • Security screening: At TSA you may be asked to remove your baby from the carrier or remove the carrier for inspection. Be prepared to carry your child through the checkpoint if requested.
  • Gate items: Strollers and car seats can typically be gate-checked at no extra charge on JetBlue; soft carriers are kept with you in the cabin.
  • Tip: If you want your child secured for the whole flight, purchase a seat and use an FAA-approved car seat. Otherwise expect to hold your baby and follow crew instructions for safety.
