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

 

Bringing a car seat on Frontier Airlines

 

Yes — you can bring a car seat when flying with Frontier. Important points to know:

  • FAA-approved only: Use a car seat labeled for use in motor vehicles and aircraft (the FAA certification label must be present).
  • Seat purchase: If your baby has their own purchased seat, you may install the car seat in that airplane seat following the manufacturer’s instructions and using the airplane seat belt.
  • Lap infants: If your baby is a lap infant (no seat purchased), a car seat is not required but can be gate-checked or checked; consider buying a seat for added safety.
  • Gate check: Car seats and strollers are commonly gate-checked at the aircraft door and returned at the gate on arrival.
  • Restrictions: Car seats cannot be used in exit rows or block aisles; they must fit entirely within a single aircraft seat.
  • Prepare: Bring the car seat manual, keep the FAA label visible, choose a window seat if possible, and confirm any specifics with Frontier before travel.
