Can you bring a diaper bag on a plane with LATAM Airlines when traveling with a baby?

 

Bringing a diaper bag on LATAM when traveling with a baby

 

Yes. LATAM generally allows a diaper bag (baby bag) to be carried in addition to the passenger’s regular carry-on allowance when you travel with an infant. Baby food, formula and breast milk are also accepted beyond the usual 100 ml liquid limit, but they must undergo screening at security.

  • Carry-on allowance: The diaper bag is treated as a baby accessory and normally accepted as an extra item for the parent or guardian.
  • Security screening: Inform security officers about breast milk, formula or baby food—these items will be screened separately and may be X‑rayed or tested.
  • Strollers and car seats: Strollers and child car seats are usually permitted free of charge and can be gate‑checked; check specific rules for your route and aircraft.
  • Documentation: Carry your baby’s travel documents and, if required, the infant ticket or proof of age for airport staff.
  • Packing tips: Keep essentials (diapers, wipes, change of clothes, feeding supplies) in the diaper bag for easy access during boarding and flight.
  • Confirm before travel: Policies can vary by country, fare type and aircraft. Contact LATAM customer service or review your booking to confirm allowances and any regional differences.
  • Arrive early: Give extra time for check‑in and security checks when traveling with an infant.
