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

 

Bringing a stroller on LATAM

 

Yes — LATAM allows you to bring a stroller when traveling with a baby. Normally you can either check it at the ticket counter free of charge or gate-check it at boarding so you can use it in the terminal and leave it at the aircraft door. A car seat is also usually accepted; if you plan to use one on board it must be approved for aircraft use (look for the manufacturer’s aircraft certification label).

  • Arrival: Get to the airport early and tell check‑in staff you have a stroller — they will tag it if you need to check it.
  • Gate-check: If you want to use the stroller in the terminal, ask the gate agent to gate‑check it; you’ll usually pick it up at the aircraft door on arrival.
  • Packing: Remove toys and loose items, fold the stroller as instructed and keep any documentation for retrieval.
  • Compact strollers: Small umbrella or compact strollers may be allowed in the cabin only if they fit in the overhead bin; confirm at check‑in or boarding.
  • Car seats: If using a car seat onboard, make sure it’s the correct size and properly certified for aviation use; a purchased seat for the child is required to install a car seat.
  • Confirm before travel: Policies can vary by route and fare type — contact LATAM or your travel agent before departure for your specific flight.
