Can you bring a portable crib on a plane with Singapore Airlines when traveling with a baby?

 

Bringing a portable crib on Singapore Airlines

 

Most of the time you can bring a portable crib (travel cot/playpen) when flying with Singapore Airlines, but there are a few important points to note.

• You usually must check the portable crib — it’s treated as checked or gate-checked baggage and generally cannot be used as a seat or bed inside the cabin.
• Bassinets are different — if you need an onboard sleeping option, request a bassinet when booking or before travel; bassinets have limits (aircraft-dependent and age/weight restrictions) and are subject to availability.
• Contact the airline before travel to confirm whether your specific crib is acceptable, whether it can be gate-checked, and if any size/weight rules apply for your flight.
• Practical tips: bring a collapsible model if possible, label it clearly, arrive early for check-in, and carry essential baby items onboard since the crib will likely be checked.
• Safety reminder: a portable crib is not an approved child restraint — it does not replace a car seat or approved infant restraint if you intend to secure your child in a separate paid seat.
