Lap infants and infant fares
On Wizz Air, children between 14 days and 2 years old can fly on an adult’s lap for an infant fee. For safety reasons, you will not be able to occupy Extra Legroom or Front Row seats when traveling with a lap infant.
If you prefer your baby to have more room, you can buy a separate seat at the normal fare and bring a car seat on board. When you book an extra seat for your infant, you do not have to pay the infant fee.

Sitting together
Wizz Air automatically assigns a seat for a child next to one of the adults in the booking during check-in. However, this does not guarantee that your entire family will be seated together. To ensure your family is not separated, you may need to select your seats when you make your reservation. Always check your seat assignments before your flight.
