Can i take a stroller on Amtrak?

Question

I will be traveling to San Luis Obisbo at the end of the month with a 9 month old baby. i will need both her stroller and carseat for when i arrive at my destination. Can i take both of them as carry-ons or bagged luggage? its the law to use a car seat so that is a necessity!

Answer 1

not if chertoff and homeland security think your baby is a little taliban in training,,,,sorry couldnt resist that bad joke. Just think Hollywood Squares please.



Ok my answer really is,,, yes of course, I would think so but you will probably have to stow the stroller somehow while the train is moving. I would call Amtrak customer service and check to make sure but it would only make sense you need a stroller with a baby, especially if there are going to be stops where you need to roll with Kiddo.

Answer 2

Hi . You can bring both either on board or ask checked baggage. It is not by law that you need the car seat. However, with a 9 month old, the car seat is actually quite comfortable for her. You may want to bring it as a carryon and let her sit on it so that you can get some rest. :)

Answer 3

The simple answer is yes.
