Copa Airlines car seat and stroller policy

Copa Airlines allows families to travel with a baby stroller at no additional cost. A key detail in their policy is that infants traveling on an adult’s lap are not permitted to have any checked baggage.

Strollers and car seats

You can bring a baby stroller at no additional cost when flying with Copa Airlines. The policy page we reviewed does not state whether the stroller must be checked at the counter or can be brought to the gate, so it is a good idea to ask the airline about their procedure.

An infant seat is allowed on board as one of three optional items, but this is only permitted if a seat has been purchased for the infant.

“Yes, you can travel with a baby stroller at no additional cost.”

Baby baggage

Under Copa Airlines’ rules, infants traveling in the arms of an adult may not have any checked baggage.

Because their official page does not mention a carry-on allowance for a lap infant, you should confirm this detail directly with the airline to avoid surprises at the airport.

“Infants traveling in the arms of an adult may not transport baggage in the hold.”
