Flying can be anxiety inducing for some, and when traveling with a baby in tow can be its own stressor. If you’re traveling Spirit Airlines with a baby for the first time, you may have quite a few questions. How much does a ticket for a baby cost? Can they travel on my lap? Is there an age requirement to travel? The list of questions can be long.

Here's a closer look at the Spirit Airlines infant policies, including how its car seat and stroller policies work.

Spirit Airlines infant policy

The Spirit infant policy states that a baby at least 7 days old but younger than 2 years of age counts as an infant, and an infant can sit on your lap for the duration of the flight for free — no ticket purchase required.

After their second birthday, you will be required to purchase your child their own ticket and seat. That includes if your kid turns 2 between your outbound flight and your return home. If that happens, you’ll have to purchase a seat for them for the return flight.
