Aer Lingus has a family-friendly policy for essential child equipment.

Strollers and car seats
For an infant or child booking, you can check two pieces of equipment for free. The first is one fully collapsible stroller. The second can be your choice of a car seat, a booster seat, or a travel cot. This means you do not have to choose between a stroller and a car seat.
While the stroller is checked with your main baggage, Aer Lingus states that it can be handed down at the gate if required, which can be helpful for getting through the airport.
