Can you bring a baby carrier on a plane with Virgin Atlantic when traveling with a baby?

 

Baby carrier on Virgin Atlantic flights

 

Yes — you can bring a baby carrier (wrap, sling or soft/front carrier) when travelling with an infant on Virgin Atlantic. Carriers are commonly used in the airport and on board for comfort and hands‑free holding.

  • Safety note: During takeoff, turbulence and landing the crew may ask you to hold your baby on your lap rather than keep them in a sling, unless you are using an aviation‑approved child restraint.
  • Child seats/CRS: If you want a separate seat for your child, bring an approved child restraint (car seat) that meets recognised aviation/child safety standards and use it in a purchased seat.
  • Strollers & large equipment: Pushchairs and car seats are normally accepted as infant equipment and can be checked at the gate or at check‑in free of charge — confirm at check‑in for your specific flight.
  • Tip: Tell check‑in or the gate staff you have baby equipment; request a bassinet if eligible and secure any items you need onboard before boarding.
