Hand Baggage VS Check-In Baggage - aren't they both the same?
Also known as Cabin Baggage, Hand Baggage are typically your smaller bags filled with your more personal items (camera, laptop) that you are allowed to carry onboard the plane with you. You will then stow these hand baggage in either the storage compartment above your seat or place it under the seat in front of you.
On the other hand, Check-In Baggage would be your bulkier and bigger suitcases that you will check-in with the check-in counter before your flight. You will then collect these luggage at the baggage belt at the airport upon your arrival.

I am travelling with an infant, what can I bring along?
When travelling with infants (aged 14 days to under 2 years old) onboard easyJet, it is not mandatory to purchase a separate seat for the infant as they are able to travel on your lap. Do note that only one baby per passenger is allowed to travel on lap. Babies with a separate purchased seat will be required to have an approved child support seat (car-type child seat/ child harness).
Adults travelling with infants without a booked seat may only carry onboard an additional baby changing bag (45 x 36 x 20 cm). This bag must then be placed under the seat in front of you. Infants with a booked seat will get to enjoy standard hand baggage allowance and an additional baby changing bag allowance (45 x 36 x 20 cm) as well.
Adults travelling with infants can also bring along baby food, baby milk and sterilised water your cabin bag.
Note: easyJet has restrictions and guidelines on the quantity and storage methods of the baby food items so do visit their website before boarding.
I am travelling with a child, what can I bring along?
When travelling with children (under 16 years old), do remember to purchase their own tickets. Children with their own seats will then enjoy the standard hand baggage allowance.
