Does Spirit allow free strollers?

Traveling with Strollers and Car Seats: We will happily check one stroller and one car seat per child for no extra cost. If you are traveling with two children, you are more than welcome to check a double stroller instead.



Yes, Spirit Airlines allows passengers to check one stroller and one car seat per child for free. These items can be checked either at the ticket counter upon arrival at the airport or at the boarding gate right before you enter the aircraft. If you choose to gate-check your stroller, it will be waiting for you on the jet bridge or at the aircraft door when you land, which is often the most convenient option for families navigating large airports. If you are traveling with two children, Spirit also permits a double stroller to be checked at no extra cost. It is important to note that this "free" policy only applies to transportation devices; items like "Pack 'n' Plays," collapsible cribs, or wagons are not considered strollers and will be subject to standard checked baggage fees. Additionally, if you wish to bring a car seat into the cabin for the child to sit in, you must have purchased a separate seat for that child, and the car seat must be FAA-approved.
