Flying easyJet to Crete with a baby: pushchair, car seat and travel cot rules
Quick answer
easyJet lets you check in 2 child items (pushchair or pram, car seat, booster seat, travel cot, baby back carrier) and push the pushchair to the aircraft door. But you still carry everything through two airports with a baby in your arms, and in Heraklion the pushchair comes back on the baggage belt. With Holiday Stork your gear is waiting in the arrivals hall at Heraklion Airport.
easyJet rules for baby equipment
easyJet flies to Heraklion (HER) from the UK and many European bases. Families with an infant can check in two child items, and the pushchair can be used up to the aircraft door.
Car seat
Counts as one of your two child items and is checked in at Bag Drop. On board only if your child has their own seat, and only forward-facing seats the crew can secure. easyJet does not supply car seats.
Travel cot
Can be one of your two child items, checked in at Bag Drop. A third child item travels as a normal hold bag.
High chair
Not on the list of child items, so it travels as a normal hold bag.

Tips for landing in Heraklion with easyJet
- Take your child out of the pushchair at security; staff may ask you to fold it on the belt.
- Pushchairs left at the aircraft door come back on the baggage belt, not at the steps. In Heraklion you carry your baby through passport control and baggage claim.
- Infants are 14 days to 2 years old. Each adult can travel with up to two infants, but one of them needs their own seat and a car seat.
