Can you bring a stroller on a plane with Southwest Airlines when traveling with a baby?
Southwest — Bringing a stroller when traveling with a baby
Yes. Southwest allows one stroller (and one car seat) per child free of charge. Typical options:
- Gate-check: Bring the stroller to the gate; the gate agent will tag it and you usually leave it at the jet bridge to be returned at the aircraft door on arrival.
- Check at ticket counter: If checked with other luggage, it will go to baggage claim and should be tagged there.
- In-cabin: Only small, fully collapsed strollers that fit in the overhead bin might be allowed as carry-on, but most full-size strollers are gate-checked.
- Car seat use onboard: You can bring a car seat on board for use if you purchase a seat for the child; the car seat must be FAA-approved and installed per its instructions.
Practical tips: arrive early, collapse and label the stroller, confirm your preference with the gate agent, and keep any essentials with you in a personal item.
