Family Transfers from Arlanda: Car Seats, Strollers and Luggage
Travelling with children rarely means travelling light. A family of five at Arlanda might have two strollers, four suitcases, several cabin bags and a car seat or two — and the question that actually matters when booking a transfer isn't "is there a car big enough", it's "does this specific car fit everything I'm actually carrying".
This guide explains how luggage space works across our vehicle categories, what to do about strollers and car seats, and how to work out which category fits your family before you book.
How luggage space actually works
Every vehicle category has one combined luggage budget rather than separate limits for big bags and small ones — a large checked case counts as two units, a cabin bag as one, and you can spend that budget however your family is actually packed.
- Standard, Electric and Business: 4 passengers, a 7-unit luggage budget, up to 3 large cases
- SUV / XL: 6 passengers, a 10-unit luggage budget, up to 4 large cases
- Minibus: 8 passengers, an 18-unit luggage budget, up to 8 large cases
What about the stroller (or two)?
A folded stroller, a pram or anything else oversized doesn't fit neatly into the case-and-cabin-bag arithmetic above, so it isn't something you need to force into it. When you book, there's a notes field for exactly this — mention the stroller, the double buggy, the travel cot, whatever it is, and we confirm before you pay that the car we're sending has room for it.
The same goes for an extra bag you didn't plan on, or a fifth suitcase that appeared between booking and departure. It isn't a reason to cancel or to turn up and find out the hard way — tell us in the notes and we'd rather send a bigger car than one that can't take it all.
Which category fits your family
A family of four with two large cases and two cabin bags (6 units) fits comfortably within a Standard, Electric or Business car's 7-unit budget, with a seat to spare.
A family of five or six with a stroller and four large suitcases (8 units on its own) generally needs the SUV / XL category — six seats and a 10-unit budget with room left over for cabin bags, plus the stroller confirmed separately in your booking notes.
Two families travelling together, or a larger family with a full set of luggage and more than one stroller, is what the Minibus category exists for — eight seats and an 18-unit budget, enough for a genuinely full load without anyone perching a bag on their lap.
Booking a family transfer
- Enter your route and choose the vehicle category that matches your passenger count and luggage — the booking page shows how much room is left once you've entered your bags, so you can see it fits before you pay.
- Add your flight number; we track it live and your pickup time follows your actual landing time.
- Use the notes field for a stroller, a car seat you'd like confirmed, or anything oversized — we confirm it before payment, not at the kerb.
- Pay by card. Your driver's name, phone number and licence plate arrive 90 minutes before pickup, so you know who's meeting you with the right car.

Questions people ask before booking
Do you provide a car seat for a young child?
Add the request to your booking notes, the same way you'd flag a stroller or an oversized bag — we confirm what's possible before you pay, so you know in advance rather than at the kerb.
What counts as a 'large' bag versus a 'cabin' bag?
A large checked case counts as two luggage units and a cabin-sized bag as one, against a single combined budget for the vehicle category you choose — there's no separate limit for each.
Can one car take a family of six with a full set of luggage?
Yes — the SUV / XL category seats six with a 10-unit luggage budget and room for up to four large cases. For more luggage than that, the eight-seat Minibus has an 18-unit budget.
We brought more bags than we booked for — is that a problem?
Not if you let us know. Mention it in the notes when you book, or contact us as soon as you realise, and we'll move you to a category with the room rather than cancelling anything.
Is the price higher for a family with more luggage?
The price depends on the vehicle category and route, not on passenger count — a larger category with more luggage room costs more than a Standard car, but everyone in it travels for that one price, not per person.
How do strollers and luggage fit together in the boot?
That depends on the stroller and the category, which is exactly why it's worth naming it in your booking notes — we confirm it fits before you pay rather than leaving it to be discovered at pickup.
