Can you bring a portable crib on a plane with All Nippon Airways when traveling with a baby?

 

Bringing a portable crib on All Nippon Airways (ANA)

 

Short answer: Generally you can bring a portable crib/playard, but rules vary by size, how you transport it (checked or gate-checked) and aircraft type. Always confirm with ANA before travel.

  • Call or email ANA in advance to confirm whether the crib can be gate-checked, checked free as infant equipment, or counts toward baggage allowance.
  • Know dimensions and weight — airlines need this to decide if it’s allowed and where it will be stowed.
  • Gate-check vs checked baggage — many parents gate-check cribs and pick them up at the aircraft door; others must check them at the counter and collect at baggage claim.
  • Bassinet availability — ANA offers bassinets on some aircraft with reservations and infant age/weight limits; a portable crib normally cannot be used as an onboard bassinet.
  • Onboard use — only certified child restraint seats may be used in a passenger seat; most portable cribs are not certified for use during taxi/takeoff/landing.
  • Packing tips — use a protective bag, label it, arrive early, and reconfirm at check-in.
