A lap infant may bring one diaper bag, one stroller and one car seat. Infants that are jetting for free do not qualify for the checked baggage allowance.

If checking a child safety seat, it will not count as one of your checked bags and there is no fee assessed.

Infants and children may occupy a seat with or without a child restraint system. If the infant is not in a child restraint system, they must be able to sit upright. Use of booster seats, harness and vest restraints will not be allowed during the movement on surface, takeoff or landing, unless it is an FAA-approved device.

If checking a safety seat, it will not count as one of your checked bags and there is no fee assessed.

Child aviation restraint systems (CARES) are also certified by the FAA for use during all phases of flight including taxiing, takeoff, landing and during periods of turbulence. CARES is a belt-and-buckle device that attaches directly to the aircraft seatbelt. It is designed for children over one year old, weighing between 22 and 44 pounds.

Please note, JetBlue does not provide safety seats, child aviation restraint systems, nor the bags/boxes to cover them.

In addition, the following guidelines will be observed:

• an infant safety seat cannot occupy an exit row seat nor an aisle seat.
• an infant safety seat should be placed in a window seat; it may be placed in a middle seat as long as the window seat remains empty.
• infant safety seats may not be placed between two individuals.
• only one lap infant will be assigned per row of seats on each side of the aircraft.
• any infant seat used during flight must remain secured to the passenger seat at all times, even when unoccupied.

JetBlue allows the use of FAA-approved infant safety seats secured to standard passenger seats. Safety seats must have the appropriate manufacturer's label.

Child restraint systems manufactured between January 1, 1981 and February 25, 1985 must have one of the following labels: "This child restraint system conforms to all applicable federal motor vehicle safety standards." or "This restraint is certified for use in motor vehicles and aircraft."

Seats manufactured after February 26, 1985 must have an additional label which reads: "This restraint is certified for use in motor vehicles and aircraft."

Booster-type seats, vest and harness-type child restraint systems, lap-held child restraints or seats manufactured before January 1, 1981 are not acceptable.

Infant car seats and child restraint systems are considered a Customer's special item (along with overcoats, jackets or umbrellas); each Customer may carry one special item on-board the aircraft. The special item is in addition to a carry-on item to go in the overhead compartment and a personal item to go under the seat in front of the Customer.

JetBlue will courtesy gate-check any of the following assistive devices: strollers, car seats, wheelchairs, walkers, canes, or crutches. There is no limit to the number of assistive devices a Customer may transport as carry-on or checked baggage.
