Rent the Cot and Stroller in Stockholm Instead of Flying Them
Updated 3 min read
Flying with a cot, a high chair, a full travel system and everything else a baby seems to require is exhausting before the trip has even started, and it's often the single biggest reason a family ends up needing a bigger vehicle category than the rest of their luggage would otherwise call for. Renting that equipment locally in Stockholm instead of carrying it is worth considering.
Here's what that changes for your luggage and your car booking — and a word on where to look, without us picking a provider for you.

What renting takes off your plate
A cot, high chair, and stroller together are bulky enough that they can easily push a family from a Standard car's 6-unit budget into needing SUV / XL, just for equipment that will only be used at your destination. Renting locally in Stockholm means none of that travels with you at all — your luggage count is just your family's actual bags, which often keeps you in a smaller, cheaper category.
Finding a rental provider
There are baby-equipment rental services operating in and around Stockholm that deliver cots, strollers, high chairs and similar items to your accommodation — availability, pricing and exactly what's on offer changes, so it's worth searching for current options close to your travel date rather than relying on a fixed recommendation. We don't endorse a specific provider; it's simply an option worth knowing exists.
What still needs to travel with you
A car seat for use during your actual transfers is worth requesting directly at booking rather than relying on rental timing to line up with your arrival — child seats for ages 0–3 can be requested when you book, so that part of the journey is covered from the moment you land, even if the rest of your baby gear is waiting at your accommodation.
Coordinating delivery timing
If a rental service is delivering a cot or stroller to your accommodation, it's worth checking their delivery window against your own arrival time — a delivery that lands well before or after you check in adds its own coordination, separate from the transfer itself. Building a little slack into that plan means you're not managing two separate logistics problems on the same afternoon you've just landed.

Questions people ask before booking
Does renting baby gear locally change what car category I need?
Often, yes — a cot, high chair and stroller together can push a family into a bigger category. Without them, your luggage count may fit a smaller, cheaper category.
Do you recommend a specific rental provider in Stockholm?
No — we don't endorse a specific company. There are baby-equipment rental services operating in the area; search for current options close to your travel date.
Can I still request a car seat for the transfer itself?
Yes — child seats for ages 0–3 can be requested when you book, separately from any equipment you rent for your stay.
Does a smaller category actually cost less?
The fixed price depends on the vehicle category and route, shown before you book — a smaller category is generally less expensive than a larger one for the same route.
What if the rental delivery is delayed past our arrival?
That's worth confirming with the rental provider directly — our transfer runs on your flight's actual landing time, independent of any separate delivery you've arranged.
Should we still bring a smaller item like a car seat with us?
A car seat for the transfer itself is worth requesting directly at booking rather than relying on rental timing — that way it's ready from the moment you land.
