How can I travel light with my child?

Traveling with a child doesn't mean leaving with the whole house. With a little foresight and a good cabin bag, you can lighten the journey, avoid excess baggage, and keep the essentials within reach.
Whether it's for a weekend or a short stay, it is perfectly possible to travel in the cabin with your child without overloading yourself. The goal: have everything under control without getting tired.

Traveling light with a child: what you really need to bring

The trick is to separate the essentials from the optional. Here are the items to prioritize to optimize your cabin bag while ensuring your child's comfort during the trip:

• 1 complete change of clothes (compact and easily accessible)
• 1 small care kit: wipes, pain reliever, bandages
• Dry snacks: applesauce pouches, dry biscuits (non-liquid)
• A small toy or a book (avoid noisy toys)
• Headphones + tablet or phone with downloaded content
• Diapers and travel changing mat (if needed)
• Light blanket or small neck pillow for long trips
• ID and health documents in an accessible pouch

FAQ – Traveling in the cabin with a child

Can I have a cabin bag for myself and another for my child?

Yes, provided your child has a ticket. In that case, they are entitled to a cabin bag and sometimes a personal item, depending on the airline.

How do I manage baby liquids?

Baby food (water, milk, puree) is allowed in reasonable quantities, even above 100 ml. You just need to present them separately at security.

Do I need a cabin stroller or is there free checked luggage for the baby?

Most airlines allow one stroller in the hold for free. However, some foldable strollers are allowed in the cabin: check with the airline before your flight.

How can I avoid carrying too many things?

Take a well-structured cabin bag and prepare a strict checklist. Remove anything that isn't essential during the flight.
