Can you bring a stroller on a plane with Emirates when traveling with a baby?

 

Bringing a stroller on Emirates

 

Yes — Emirates allows you to bring a stroller (pushchair) for a baby free of charge. Typical practice:

  • One stroller per infant is usually accepted in addition to your baggage allowance.
  • Foldable/umbrella strollers can often be gate-checked and returned to you at the aircraft door on arrival.
  • Full-size or bulky strollers are normally checked into the hold at check-in and returned at the baggage reclaim area.
  • If you plan to use a car seat on board you generally need to buy a separate seat and use a certified child restraint; check with Emirates ahead of time.
  • Always fold and secure the stroller, label it with your contact details, and remove loose items.
  • For connecting flights, confirm whether strollers will be transferred automatically or need to be collected between flights (this can vary by airport).

If you want absolute certainty for your specific flight, aircraft type or connection, contact Emirates or your travel agent before travel — gate/aircraft handling and local airport rules can affect where and how strollers are carried.
