You can choose to check these items at the check-in counter or bring them with you to the gate where they can be accepted as GatePorter items. Porter will Gate Check them for you. For your convenience, GatePorter items will be returned to you at your arrival gate.

Please note that playpens and other infant beds count as a checked bag and must meet checked baggage size and weight requirements.
Porter strongly recommends the use of small collapsible (foldable) strollers. They can be checked at the gate and delivered to you at the aircraft door at the end of your flight.
Gate facilities at most airports are not designed to accommodate large and heavy strollers. Therefore, they will need to be checked in and may count as one piece of baggage toward the maximum checked baggage allowance for your purchased fare type.
Porter only allows infant and child restraint systems approved by Transport Canada or the Federal Aviation Administration to be used on board the aircraft for infants and small children with a paid seat. For details on acceptable infant and child restraint systems, please see Car Seats and Child Restraint Systems.
