Because airline child policies change — and parents shouldn’t have to hunt for answers.
Can you bring a car seat on a plane with Alaska Airlines when traveling with a baby?
Bringing a car seat on Alaska Airlines
Yes — you can bring a car seat on Alaska Airlines when traveling with a baby.
- FAA‑approved car seats only: The car seat must have the FAA approval label stating it’s certified for use in motor vehicles and aircraft.
- Use in cabin requires a ticket for the child: To use the car seat on board, the child must occupy a purchased seat. Lap infants cannot use a car seat unless a seat is purchased for them.
- Gate check or check free: Car seats (and strollers) are accepted free of charge and may be gate‑checked or checked at the ticket counter.
- Installation and fit: Car seats must fit in the aircraft seat and be secured with the airplane seat belt per the car seat manufacturer’s and flight attendant instructions. Booster seats without a harness are not approved for aircraft use.
- Questions? Ask gate or check‑in staff — they can confirm fit and assist with gate‑checking.
