Can you bring a toddler bed rail on a plane with Sun Country Airlines when traveling with a baby?

 

Bringing a toddler bed rail on Sun Country Airlines

 

Short answer: Yes — you can usually bring a toddler bed rail on board or check it, but it must meet carry-on/checked-size rules and it cannot be used as an approved safety device during flight.

  • Carry or check: If it fits your carry-on allowance you may bring it in the cabin; otherwise check it with your luggage. Gate-checking may be possible but depends on space and gate agent discretion.
  • Not an aircraft restraint: Bed rails are not FAA-approved child restraints. They cannot replace a certified car seat or FAA-approved child harness while the aircraft is in motion.
  • Bring approved devices if you need restraint: If you want a certified in-seat device, bring an FAA-approved child car seat or an FAA-approved child aviation harness (e.g., CARES) that meets federal guidelines.
  • Do this before travel: Confirm size/handling options and any special handling with Sun Country customer service before your trip and arrive early at the airport.
