Copenhagen Airport with small children

Your first trips with small children can feel overwhelming and stressful. How do we get through the airport? What if my child cries on the plane? What about food? Where do I find diapers?

Don't worry! We're here to help!

We've gathered the best tips for traveling to and from Copenhagen Airport with small children. By the way, these tips apply to most airports.

Make use of the airport's facilities

Copenhagen Airport offers plenty of family-friendly services. Here are some of the best:

• Free strollers: After security, you can borrow a free stroller to use in the airport. You will also often find them by the gate when you arrive. This is actually available in most airports.

• Changing facilities: Most restrooms have changing stations, making diaper duty quick and easy.

• Play areas: Do your kids need to burn off some energy before the flight? Stop by the airport’s play zones.

Arrive on time to the airport with small children - but not too early

Having extra time at the airport is priceless if unexpected situations arise. We recommend arriving 2-3 hours before departure. But be careful not to arrive too early – small children can get restless quickly!

Pack light and smart

Bring a small backpack with all the essentials for the flight:

• Snacks and baby food (don’t worry! Baby food is exempt from liquid restrictions, so you can bring more than 100 ml.).

• Toys, books, or tablets with offline content.

• Extra change of clothes (accidents happen).

• Diapers and wet wipes.

Check your airline's policies

Rules for strollers and prams vary between airlines. Some allow compact strollers all the way to the gate, while others require them to be checked in as baggage. Check the rules beforehand to avoid any surprises.

And if you don’t feel like bringing all your own gear – we have the perfect solution.

Rent children equipment and travel light

Why carry around a stroller and all your entertainment when you can rent it all at your destination? With Easygoing, you can rent high-quality children gear, delivered directly to your hotel or vacation home. That means less luggage and a much smoother trip for the whole family!

Parking and rental car pick up

Have you booked airport parking? Make it easier on yourself by dropping off the family at the Kiss & Fly area in front of Terminal 2, while one parent parks the car. This way, you avoid dealing with luggage and kids on the terminal buses – and the little ones can spend the waiting time playing at the outdoor playground instead.

And the same tip applies if you're renting a car at the airport.
