Arlanda to Skogås: Arriving Home with a Baby Under One

Updated 3 min read

Travelling with a baby under one changes what you need from a transfer home. Swedish law requires an infant to travel in a properly fitted child restraint, which for a baby this young means a rear-facing seat — not something you can improvise with a seatbelt and a lap, and not something you want to discover is missing after a long flight when everyone just wants to get to Skogås and put the baby down.

This guide covers how to book a child seat for an infant, and what to expect on the trip home.

What Swedish law requires for an infant

Children in Sweden must travel in an appropriate child restraint for their age and size, and for a baby under one that means a rear-facing seat. This applies in any car, including a booked transfer — it isn't an optional extra so much as the legally correct way for an infant to travel at all.

Booking a child seat in advance

Request a child seat for an infant under 3 at the booking stage rather than mentioning it at pickup. This gives us the chance to confirm the request and make sure the car sent is fitted with the right seat before you land, so there's no delay or awkward conversation in the arrivals hall while a tired baby waits.

Give the baby's age (or approximate age) in the request — an infant under one needs a rear-facing seat specifically, which is different equipment from what an older toddler needs.

The rest of the trip home to Skogås

Once the seat is sorted, the rest of the journey works the way any booked transfer does. Your flight is tracked, so the pickup time follows when you actually land rather than the scheduled time — useful when a long-haul or connecting flight runs late and the last thing you want is a mismatch between an exhausted arrival and a driver who gave up waiting.

Skogås itself is a straightforward door-to-door run south of the city; give the exact address and any note about the entrance — a numbered block, a buzzer code — so the driver can get you and the baby to the door without extra searching once you're finally there.

What else to plan for with an infant

Beyond the car seat, there's little else specific to travelling with a baby that changes how the booking works. Pay in advance by card, wallet or other eligible method, and the price is fixed for the whole car — it doesn't rise because there's an extra passenger under one, and an infant doesn't add to the luggage-unit count the way a suitcase does, so you can still book a Standard car if the rest of the party and luggage fit comfortably.

Questions people ask before booking

Do I need to bring my own car seat for the baby?

No — request a child seat for an infant under 3 when you book, and we confirm it before pickup so the right seat is in the car when it meets you.

What kind of seat does a baby under one need?

A rear-facing seat, which is what Swedish law requires for an infant this age. Mention the baby's age in your booking notes so the correct seat is arranged.

What if my flight home lands late at night?

Flight tracking means the pickup time follows your actual landing time, and there's no night surcharge, so a late arrival with a baby doesn't cost more or leave you waiting.

Can I request the child seat after I've already booked?

Contact us as soon as possible to add it — but requesting it at booking is the more reliable way to make sure it's confirmed and fitted before you land.

Is there an extra charge for the child seat?

The fixed price shown before you book covers the whole car for the route you've chosen; confirm the details of what's included when you request the seat.
