Can I bring a portable crib on a Sun Country Airlines flight?

 

Short answer: Generally yes, but with conditions and you should confirm with Sun Country before travel.

  • Common practice: Many airlines accept a collapsible travel crib (Pack ’n Play) as either gate‑checked or checked baggage rather than carry‑on. It cannot be used as a seat restraint onboard.
  • Before you fly: Contact Sun Country with the crib’s weight and folded dimensions to confirm acceptance and any fees or special handling rules.
  • At the airport: Expect to either gate‑check the crib at the jetway or check it at the ticket counter. Use a protective bag if possible to protect it.
  • Safety note: Only FAA‑approved car seats are permitted to be installed on an airplane seat for in‑flight use. Portable cribs are for sleeping on the ground and are not approved for use during flight.
  • Practical tips: Arrive early, label the crib with your contact info, and ask staff how it will be returned at your destination (gate or baggage claim).
