Luggage, Children & Travel Conditions - Can I Bring a Stroller or Car Seat?

Q: Can I bring a stroller on the train?

Yes — most trains allow strollers at no extra cost , especially when traveling with young children. However, here are a few important notes: • Strollers must be foldable and placed in the luggage area or behind your seat • They cannot block aisles, doors, or emergency exits • In some countries, trains have dedicated family or stroller spaces — our system will show these if available For night trains or high-speed routes with limited space, we recommend folding the stroller before boarding .

Q: Can I bring a child car seat onboard?

You can — but it depends on the seat type and train layout . • On most trains, you can place a portable car seat on your child’s seat if you’ve purchased one. • The car seat must be safely secured and not block other passengers • In open seating coaches (like many 2nd Class trains), space may be limited — check with our support team if you're unsure Car seats are not mandatory for trains, but they can be useful for comfort or sleep during long trips.

Q: Do you offer family or child-friendly seating areas?
