Can you bring a portable crib on a plane with LATAM Airlines when traveling with a baby?
Bringing a portable crib on LATAM
Yes — LATAM generally accepts portable cribs (folding travel cots) as baby equipment. They are usually transported as checked or gate-checked items rather than carried into the cabin. Rules vary by route and aircraft, so always confirm before travel.
- Notify the airline when booking or before travel to ensure space and to learn any size/weight limits.
- Check-in or gate-check: small items may be gate-checked; larger cribs usually go as checked baggage.
- Reserve bassinets early if you need an onboard bassinet — these are limited and have age/weight limits.
- Prepare your crib in a protective bag, label it, and arrive early to avoid delays.
- Keep essentials onboard (diaper bag, change of clothes) because baby gear checked at gate may not be available until aircraft arrival.
If you want exact dimensions, allowances or whether it’s free on your specific flight, contact LATAM directly before traveling.
