Travel with your baby

Infant Seating

If your child is not yet 2 years old on both the outbound and on the inbound journey, it will travel sitting on your lap.

Every adult may travel with 2 babies, but only 1 baby may sit on his/her lap. The other baby will need to have a booked seat of its own. To book a seat for your 0 or 1 year old, please contact us.

 

Sit together

You can view and change your seats on the seat map in My Trip, or when checking in online at KLM.com. We’ll do our very best to make sure that your family can all sit together!

 

Carrycots

For intercontinental KLM flights, carrycots can be reserved via My Trip or by contacting us. These are suitable for babies that are no longer than 65 cm and weigh no more than 10 kg on the day of the trip. Although we’ll do our very best, we cannot always guarantee the availability of a carrycot when you board the aircraft.

 

BabyTrayBed

If you want a guaranteed spot for your child we recommend you to buy the BabyTrayBed travel crib at our shop@KLM. The bed is allowed on all aircrafts of KLM and usable throughout your entire journey thus in the taxi and hotel as well. The bed is specially designed to fit on all aircraft trays and has the same rules as the carrycot. The maximum length of your child is 74 centimeters. By buying this travel bed you are sure of a comfortable flight on intercontinental as well as continental flights!

 

Car Seat

If you booked a seat for your child, we recommend that you bring your own car/child seat on board. For each child you may always bring 1 car/child seat free of charge on KLM flights.

The car/child seat must be able to fit between the armrests of the aircraft seat, which is 42 cm (16.5 in) wide.

Your child and the child seat need to be secured according to the seat manufacturer’s instructions.

A child seat may show no defects and must be approved for air transport and marked accordingly.

You need to reserve for the use of a car/child seat in advance. Please contact KLM Telephone Reservations or your local KLM ticket office.

You may also check in the car/child seat free of charge, in which case above rules do not apply.

 

CARES system

If you have booked a seat for your child on a KLM flight, you may also use a Child Aviation Restraint System (CARES) on board. This system is for children between 10 and 20 kilograms.

 

 

Your child and the CARES need to be secured according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

The CARES may show no defects and must be approved for air transport and marked accordingly.

You need to reserve for the use of your CARES in advance. Please contact KLM Telephone Reservations or your local KLM ticket office.
