Prams and pushchairs
With regard to prams, the rules vary according to the airline. If you have to leave your pushchair at the check-in, children who need it can continue their journey through the terminal using a pushchair provided by the airport.
Pushchairs and prams that will go in the plane’s hold must be packed in a protective bag. Some airlines offer passengers a protective bag at check-in.
Childcare facilities
There are also several quiet spaces at the airport for childcare and breastfeeding.
There are separate childcare rooms for changing diapers next to the bathrooms. Childcare supplies are also available in the airport’s accessible toilets, which provide more space for parents with children.

The restaurants at the airport offer children’s meals, high chairs and the opportunity to heat small children’s meals and milk bottles. Baby food, such as Piltti products and purees, can be taken through the security control to the gate area and on board the plane.
