Hammarby Sjöstad to Arlanda: Families from the Waterfront Blocks
Updated 3 min read
Families in Hammarby Sjöstad's waterfront blocks tend to travel with more than a couple of cabin bags — a pushchair, a case each, and if there are young children, a car seat request to sort out before the car even arrives. None of that is complicated, but it's worth setting up properly at booking rather than assuming it'll sort itself out at the kerb.
This guide covers requesting a child seat and making sure the car you book actually has room for the family's luggage.
Requesting a child seat
A child seat for a child aged 0–3 can be booked in the booking form — tell us the child's age so the right seat is fitted before pickup, not discovered as a gap on pickup morning. The seat's price is shown before you pay.
For an older child who needs a booster rather than an infant or toddler seat, bring your own — the seats we fit cover children up to age three only.
Matching luggage to the vehicle category
Every vehicle category has a combined luggage budget rather than separate limits for big and small bags — a large case counts as two units, a cabin bag as one. A family of four with two large cases and two cabin bags fits a Standard car's 6-unit budget exactly (the saloon limit is 2 large bags + 2 cabin bags, or 4 cabin bags); add a pushchair or a fifth bag and the SUV/XL category, with its 10-unit budget and six seats, gives more room to work with.
If you're not sure which category fits, note your bag count and any bulky items like a pushchair in the booking — we'd rather confirm a bigger car up front than have it be tight on the day.
Booking with the whole family's morning in mind
A departure with young children rarely runs to the minute, so it's worth booking a pickup time with a little slack built in around getting everyone out the door — shoes on, the last bag zipped, a final trip back inside for something forgotten. That's not a special accommodation, just a realistic read of how mornings with small children actually go, and it costs nothing extra to plan for.
Enter your flight number when you book, even for a departure — while pickup timing for departures is set by you rather than tracked from a landing, having the flight on record means the booking is complete and there's one less thing to double-check on the way out the door.

Questions people ask before booking
Can I request a car seat for my toddler?
Yes — add it in the booking form with the child's age (under 1, or 1–3 years). The seat is fitted before pickup and shown in your price before you pay.
What about a booster seat for an older child?
Bring your own — we don't provide boosters, and the seats we fit cover children up to age three.
How much luggage fits in a Standard car with two adults and two kids?
A Standard car has a 6-unit combined luggage budget — 2 large bags + 2 cabin bags, or 4 cabin bags. A pushchair or extra bag is worth flagging so we can confirm it fits or suggest SUV/XL.
Does a pushchair count against the luggage budget?
It doesn't fit the same case-and-bag arithmetic — mention it in the notes and we confirm the right category has room for it.
Is there an extra cost for requesting a child seat?
The price shown before you book is for the whole car and route — the child seat is a request handled within that booking, not a separate line.
