Can you bring a car seat on a plane with Emirates when traveling with a baby?

 

Bringing a car seat on Emirates

 

Yes. Emirates allows you to bring and use a child car seat (child restraint system) on board when the child has a separate, ticketed seat. Helpful points:

  • Use an approved car seat — it should be certified for aircraft use (look for the manufacturer label stating aircraft/motor vehicle approval).
  • Child must occupy a purchased seat — car seats are used when a separate seat is booked for the child, not for lap infants.
  • Seat fit and position — check that the car seat fits the aircraft seat width and can be secured with the aircraft seat belt; some bulky or rear‑facing seats may not fit.
  • Not permitted in exit rows — safety rules prohibit child restraints in exit-row seats.
  • Gate‑check or check‑in — you can usually gate‑check or check the seat; tell Emirates at booking/check‑in if you need help.

Arrive early, bring the car seat manual, and ask ground staff if you want them to verify installation.
