Can I bring a car seat on LATAM when traveling with a baby?

 

Yes — you can bring a car seat on LATAM. Key points to know:

  • If you want to use the car seat on board, you must buy a separate seat for the child. Lap infants (no purchased seat) cannot use a car seat on the aircraft.
  • The car seat must be certified for aircraft use. Look for a label saying it is approved for use in motor vehicles and on aircraft (for US flights this means FAA approval or equivalent).
  • LATAM generally allows one car seat or one stroller free of charge as part of the infant allowance; you can also gate-check it if not using it onboard.
  • Car seats cannot be used in exit rows and must fit within a single aircraft seat. Some bulkhead or restricted seats may not be suitable — check seat width and restrictions.
  • Bring the car seat manual and be prepared to install it using the aircraft seat belt. Cabin crew may ask to verify correct installation.
  • Keep your child secured in the car seat during taxi, takeoff, landing and turbulence.

If you’re unsure about fit or policy for your specific flight, contact LATAM before travel to confirm.
