Yes - (at Gatwick at least) you can take it to the gate (if you have a travel system) and then it is put in the hold with the buggy. You do have to take everything apart at security to go through the machine though.


Worth checking the website of the airport you are flying from though because exact arrangements will vary.

Yes, we had no problem when checking in at Gatwick. Both carseat and buggy were free. Checked carseat with the luggage and took buggy to the plane door and checked there. Useful to know that it really varies whether you get your buggy back at the gate or on the luggage carousel on arrival, so it is good to have a sling on board in case you have a long walk through the airport.


We did have a bit of a problem on the return journey from Milan and had to fight in order to get them to allow both for free. But we eventually got there in the end.

Just in case you have any hassles, I would strongly suggest emailing easyJet customer services about it so you can have a printed response for the check-in desk. I got this back and while we didn't need it, it was useful for keeping our minds calm:


Hello,


My wife and I are thinking of travelling with easyjet, along with our baby son. I have a couple of questions, as I can't seem to find the answers anywhere on your website:


1. are we allowed to take any luggage for the baby?


2. are we allowed to take a car seat and put it in the hold? Is this included in our baggage allowance and weight?


3. are we allowed to take a pushchair and put it in the hold? Is this included in our baggage allowance and weight?


4. can we take a pushchair up to the plane?


5. can we take a car seat on the plane if we haven't purchased an extra seat for our son?


6. if we are flying from Gatwick - how much clear sterilised boiled water are we allowed to take for feeds? Is it ok to take baby formula through security?


7. do you have priority/early boarding for those with infants or should we purchase speedy boarding?


Many thanks,


========


Got the following reply:


Thank you for contacting us.


I am happy to confirm that pushchairs, prams, car seats and travel cots do not form part of your baggage allowance and therefore up to two items per infant are carried for free, provided that the infant is travelling as well. However, we do not offer a separate baggage allowance for infants.


Pushchairs, buggies, car seats and travel cots can be taken right up to the aircraft, where they will be taken by cabin crew and stored in the hold. However, if it would be easier for you, you can check it in with your baggage at check-in. Full sized, non-collapsible prams cannot be accepted for travel.


Despite the fact that easyJet does not offer a separate baggage allowance for infants you can still take a small baby changing bag free of charge.


I can confirm that you are allowed to take small quantities of liquids, including baby formula, in your hand baggage. These liquids must be in individual containers with a maximum capacity of 100 millilitres each. You must pack these containers in one transparent re-sealable plastic bag measuring approximately 20x20cms per passenger. Also, you might be asked to taste the baby milk etc. at the security check. The maximum volume of liquids that you are allowed to take in your hand baggage is 1 litre.


For the latest updates regarding baggage allowances please see the ?latest news? section of the easyJet website, or use the following link;

I would like to advise you that currently boarding occurs in the following order;


1. Speedy Boarding (SB) -passengers who have paid a fee to be the first to be called to board the flight.

2. Special Assistance (SA) -passengers with a disability, elderly, infants, children under the age of 5 years.

3. Boarding Group A (A) -internet checked in passengers and 1-30 of airport check in passengers.

4. Boarding Group B (B) -all remaining passengers.


Therefore, if you wish to be amongst the first group of passengers called to board your flight my best advice would be to purchase Speedy Boarding service.

    • For every person like OP that moans their doorbell was rung and there was a knock on the door, there's someone else moaning that they didn't hear the delivery drivers. If you've ever done delivery work you'll know that loads of people's bells don't work. The delivery drivers probably goes to a hundred doors a day: press bell, knock door, drop package, move on. If you don't like delivery drivers, insist on delivery by Royal Mail where the workers have wages and a union - or just stop ordering shit online that's artificially cheap. But most of us (me included) don't want that
    • If someone comes to my house and bangs my door and slams my gate, I'd speak to them about it nicely and ask if they would please not do that. And then subsequently less nicely if they keep doing it, ending in reporting them.  We don't slam doors at home and I don't put up with that either. I can see us moving to a culture where we bribe drivers to be nice by tipping them, but we shouldn't have to. It's not necessary - does not matter if they are on minimum wage or not, or if society means that delivery services are outsourced or whatever reason anyone would like to concoct.     
    • We’ve got a gap on the roof of our shed that needs patching  don’t want to buy a huge roll so hoping someone has some leftover  happy to collect/reimburse 
    • I never said I thought it was targeted or deliberate. There also has never been a “stand off” or confrontation, we’ve spoken to them in a friendly manner about it. Our experience is they don’t seem to care. That’s the frustrating thing for us, if someone politely raises a concern at least take a second to reflect. Treat others how you would want to be treated.  I don’t want them to lose their job, far from it. But considering it could cost me a days work to fix any damage, I’m within my right to try prevent it.
