Air travel with children - Travel.gc.ca

This page provides information on flying with children, including what to pack in carry on baggage, going through security screening and using child restraint systems (car seats) on board the aircraft.

Travelling with children under 2 years old

For the safety of both adults and children, the Canadian Aviation Regulations require that no passenger can be responsible for more than 1 infant (child under the age of 2).

If you are travelling with children under the age of 2, a passenger must accompany each of your children, even if you buy seats for them.

Child restraint systems

Although children under 2 years old may be held in your arms during a flight, Transport Canada highly recommends that you use an approved child restraint system (car seat) for all legs of the flight. Car seats are designed to different standards than aircraft seats, so they may work differently and fit differently in planes. Any car seat intended for use on board an aircraft must have a statement of compliance label that shows it meets the applicable design standard and the date it was made.

The use of a car seat provides the best protection for the infant or child and minimizes the effects of unanticipated turbulence. Using a familiar car seat will make your child more comfortable, and you can also use it when you reach your destination.

If you decide to use a car seat, always:

check with your airline for its specific policies
follow the manufacturer’s installation instructions
tighten the aircraft seat belt through the correct path on the car seat
secure straps out of the way since tether straps cannot be used on board the aircraft

The following devices are not approved for use as child restraint systems on an aircraft:

Booster seats (for older children who have outgrown their car seat)
- Not approved for use as child restraint systems on an aircraft, as they are designed to be used with a car lap and shoulder belt
Child vests and harnesses, infant carriers and other similar carriers
- Not approved for use as child restraint systems on an aircraft, as they may not be used when the aircraft is moving on the ground, during takeoff and landing or when the safety belt sign is on
"Belly" or "loop" belts, which are intended for infant use and are attached to an adult’s safety belt by feeding the adult’s belt segments through a loop on the infant’s belt
- Not approved for use as child restraint systems on an aircraft, as they could injure the infant in case of an accident

Children who are travelling alone

If your child is travelling alone, contact the airline in advance to ask if someone from the airline will escort and supervise your child from check-in through arrival, and if there are any restrictions such as age limits.

Ensure that the person who brings your child to the airport stays at the airport until the flight has departed and that the person who is picking up your child at the point of arrival has appropriate identification and authorization.

A child who travels alone or without 1 of their parents or guardians should have a consent letter signed by the parents or guardians who are not accompanying the child.

Carry-on baggage

You are permitted to pack the following items in your carry-on baggage:

Breast milk in quantities greater than 100 ml, even if you are flying without your child
Gel and ice packs to refrigerate breast milk or medically necessary items and medication that need to be refrigerated (as indicated on the label or a medical note)
When travelling with a child under 2 years of age, you may also pack:
- baby food, formula, medications, milk, water and juice
- gel or ice packs to keep your baby products cool

Check with the airline before you travel. Some items cannot be used during taxi, takeoff, landing or when directed by a crew member.

Security screening

Planning is important when you fly with young children. A little strategic planning can make the flight a more pleasant experience for you, your children and other travellers.

Check if the family and special needs lane is available. Place infant carriers and other child-related items, including diaper bags, on the conveyor belt for security screening. Strollers need to be inspected separately.

Present all liquids to a screening officer for separate inspection.

Let your child walk through the metal detector. If your child is not able to do so alone, you can hold them in your arms as you walk through the metal detector.

The section offers tips on how to pack items for babies and young children, what to do at the screening checkpoint, and if needed, how to travel with the family pet.

Travelling with Children

Packing for Your Trip:

If you are travelling with an infant younger than two years of age (0-24 months), you can bring baby food, milk, formula, water, juice and other baby items in your carry-on baggage.
Certain powders and granular materials (e.g. baby powder) in your carry-on are limited to a total quantity of 350 ml or less.
Gel and ice packs can be brought on board, if they are being used to refrigerate baby food, milk, breast milk, formula, water or juice for infants younger than two years of age.
Passengers flying with or without their child can bring breast milk in quantities greater than 100 ml provided it is presented to the screening officer for inspection prior to screening.
Any exempted liquids, such as medications, baby formula or breast milk, should be packed so that they can easily be removed from carry-on baggage for inspection. However, we recommend that these items be properly labeled (manufacturer's name or pharmaceutical label identifying the medication).
You can pack toys in your child’s carry-on baggage, but leave toys that look like weapons (e.g. water guns, toy grenades, etc.) at home.

Did you know?

Solid foods such as apples, granola bars or sandwiches can be packed in your carry-on as a snack on the plane. See Travelling with Food Items for more detail.

At the Screening Checkpoint:

When you arrive at the checkpoint, check if the Family/Special Needs lane is available. This lane features screening equipment that can accommodate larger items, and screening officers who offer additional assistance to passengers needing more time or help with their belongings to get through security.
Screening officers will need to inspect strollers, infant carriers and car seats.
All baby food or drinks, including formula, must be presented to the screening officer for inspection.
Children’s carry-ons, including diaper bags, should be placed on the conveyor belt for security screening.
Keep any MP3 players (e.g. iPods), portable handheld game consoles, tablets and smartphones in your carry-on.
Let your child walk through the metal detector if they are able to do so on their own.
Please don’t hand your child to a screening officer while you go through security.

Travelling with Animals

Contact your airline in advance to find out about their policy for passengers travelling with pets.
Let the screening officer know that you are travelling with your pet.
All passengers travelling with animals must undergo explosive trace detection (ETD) testing.
A screening officer will offer to conduct the screening of your animal in a private search room.
Whether you stay at the checkpoint or go to a private search room, you will need to remove your pet from its carrying case and remove any items attached to your pet (except collars and harnesses).
You will need to keep your pet under control during screening.
After the screening of your pet, its carrying case and any other items is complete, you will need to put your pet back in its carrying case.

To Canada with a child - Hello Canada!

Arrival

05/28/2012 08/04/2019 1 2741

When I was asked about the nuances of moving with a child, the first thing I did was to look at old posts, with the feeling that everything had already been described a long time ago. It turned out that the information appears in a number of posts, but a general post would not hurt. Especially considering the accumulated experience over the past time. In something I will repeat, something new will be. nine0013

Flight

Let me remind you that we flew with a transfer in Zurich. The flight was probably the most difficult moment for us. My daughter was three years old at the time. We had a fear of strangers in the maximum phase and this meant continuous sitting on our hands with occasional tantrums, if God forbid someone looked. The only respite we had was in the mother and child room at the transfer airport. It has everything for both toddlers and older kids. Lots of toys, equipped kitchen and high chairs, changing tables (with everything you need) and even cribs to sleep in. nine0013

With us, in hand luggage, we had a standard set for a long trip from home. I think it makes no sense to paint a lot, any mom is aware of what is required. I can only say that the airport and airline staff were polite and helped as much as possible. In Moscow, they missed everything that a child needs without question: a liter bottle of water (and I myself asked if it was possible), a jar of dry mix, a bunch of jars of purees. Mixture and purees, by the way, are allowed to be imported, so we also had no problems with importing in Montreal. On planes, we were always warmed up bottles (a bottle of water) without question and supplied with water. We handed over our stroller at the exit to the plane and got it at the exit. Otherwise, I'm afraid I would have grunted there from the amount of our hand luggage :). nine0013

First days

Take everything with a margin, at least for a couple of days. This will eliminate the need to frantically rush about in search of children's consumables :). A stroller helps a lot, you can take it on the spot (cheap canes at Walmart). However, in the Montreal subway with a stroller is extremely inconvenient. Huge stairs and in most cases escalators are only going up. In Toronto, the situation is better, but not at all stations. Most toilets have a corner with a changing table or even a separate booth; The first days will have to drag a lot, but it's not scary. nine0013

Nutrition and diapers

In addition, baby food here is very different from what is sold in Russia. For example, we were looking for meat in jars for a very long time, it was simply nowhere to be found. Because of this, we quickly switched to a blender and regular meat, which is excellent here and does not cause any reactions in the baby. The difference is in the consistency and in the products. There are simply no potatoes, broccoli, cauliflower, zucchini in jars. But all this is also available fresh and a blender to help. From the famous brands Heinz and Gerber. Here, for example, is the Canadian website Heinz, where you can see what kind of food is offered to children here. The rest of the brands will be about the same. Mixtures, such as spaghetti with meat, are a must try for yourself, as in some cases they overdo it with spices. nine0013

Mixes, this is also fine, but it's clear, everything is different. There are, by the way, liquid mixtures, that is, already diluted. I don’t know what the trick is, but everything that is available in the form of a powder can be bought in liquid form. It seems to be considered that this option is better. We used in Moscow a mixture based on goat's milk. There are none here. As a result, we settled on Similac Sensitive Lactose-Free (when you arrive, register on their website, they will send coupons for an additional discount).

We originally made porridge ourselves. The only difficulty was to find a store with cereals at reasonable prices. In Montreal, we had no time for that; we returned to cereals already in Ontario. And so there are any cereals. nine0013

Diapers tried probably all manufacturers. As a result, we settled on Huggies, although they were not used in Moscow, but there were Japanese ones . .. you can forget about them here. It is interesting that only recently they had panties in the local sale, before that they were only for potty training and regular diapers.

It is better to guess all purchases for promotions, you can save decently. The main places where we buy are Costco and Walmart. Sometimes, of course, we buy in other networks, if there is a promotion. For prices, you can look at the Walmart website, there you just need to get attached to someone in the store. nine0013

Clothes

There are a lot of branded stores here (Children's Place, Gap, etc.) and they also have promotions :). You can also watch Sears, Winners and even Zellers and Walmart. It is only necessary to carefully choose what would be cotton, not synthetics. The only thing is that good shoes are worth taking. There are not so many “correct” shoes here and they are quite decently priced (mm, if it’s rude, then somewhere from $ 70).

In Montreal, I really liked the L'Aubainerie store. Children's clothes are cute and of good quality, there are also for the little ones. Including diapers (there is a myth that they are not here 🙂). nine0013

Entertainment

There's plenty of that here (I'm talking about Toronto here). Lots of playgrounds and wildlife parks. Lots of groups for moms and kids. For older kids, even more entertainment, but already requiring the financial participation of parents (it's stupid to go to an amusement park and not ride;)). We are still small for this, we will grow up - we will tell you how it is here. There are enough toys for every taste and budget.

Adaptation

At our age, it seems to me that my daughter did not even notice that we live somewhere else. The locals have to get used to the microbes, and adults can’t get away from it either. There is also a lack of understanding of adults who speak English (what they want with their Hi). But all this is somehow uncritical against the background of the advantages that are here.
