Travelling Alone with Children: Making Arrival Easier

Updated 3 min read

Travelling with children as the only adult means every decision at the airport — bags, seats, which child goes where — falls to one person, usually while also keeping track of passports, a flight number, and at least one child who's had enough of queuing. The way to make it easier isn't to do more on the day, it's to move as many of those decisions as possible to before you fly.

This guide covers what's worth sorting in advance, so the ride from Arlanda is one less thing to think through once you've landed.

Sort seats and luggage before you fly, not after you land

Book any child seats your children need in the form, with each child's age, so the right seats are already fitted when the car arrives — nothing to explain or wait for at the kerb. Enter your full passenger count and luggage honestly too; the booking page shows whether it fits the category you've chosen before you pay, which means one fewer thing to work out with tired children and a stroller in tow.

If you know you'll want a hand getting bags into the car, say so in the booking notes. It's a completely ordinary request, and it means the driver is already expecting to help rather than you needing to ask while managing children at the same time.

One booking, one flight number, one thing to check

Give us your flight number when you book and we track it from the moment it's given — your pickup time follows your actual landing, so you don't need to call anyone or watch a clock if the flight runs early or late. That's one entire task removed from a day where you're already managing several children on your own.

Before pickup, the driver's name, phone number and licence plate are sent to your phone, so once you're in the arrivals hall you're looking for one specific car rather than guessing — useful with children in tow and less time or patience for uncertainty.

A calm pickup, not a rushed one

Every pickup includes free waiting time, so there's no pressure to have everyone buckled and moving the instant the car arrives — getting several children settled, seat belts checked, and bags loaded takes the time it takes, and that's built in rather than something to apologise for.

What every Förare booking includes

The fixed price you see before booking is the price on your receipt — 6% VAT included, whole car, not per person.

  • Flight tracked — pickup follows your live arrival
  • 45 minutes free waiting, from your driver's confirmed arrival
  • No terminal fee
  • No surge pricing, ever
  • Free cancellation up to 12 hours

Questions people ask before booking

Can I book several child seats for my children in one booking?

Yes — add each one in the form with the child's age, and all the seats you need are fitted before pickup.

Can I ask for help with luggage while managing children on my own?

Yes — mention it in the booking notes, or just ask your driver. It's a routine request and drivers are glad to help.

What if my flight is delayed and I'm travelling with children who are getting tired?

Your pickup time follows your actual landing time automatically, so a delay doesn't mean extra waiting once you're through — and you don't need to contact anyone to adjust it.

How will I recognise the driver with children to manage?

You get the driver's name, phone number and licence plate before pickup, so you're looking for one specific car in the arrivals hall rather than searching among several.

Is there time pressure to load everyone quickly once the car arrives?

No — every pickup includes free waiting time, so getting children and bags settled takes the time it takes without feeling rushed.
