Services for families
If you are travelling with your family, Fiumicino Airport has several family-friendly services available: pink parking, nurseries, play areas, family toilets, dedicated shopping opportunities, and restaurants with children’s menus.
Pink Parking Spaces
There are 85 courtesy parking spaces designed for departing families with children, for whom parking will be easier:
- 24 parking spaces wider than about one meter, marked by pink stripes on the sides, to allow the loading and unloading of the stroller and for an easier exit from the car;
- 61 standard parking spaces;
These are located on the 3rd floor of the multi-story P-Terminal D, a few steps from Terminals T1 and T3, connected by the pedestrian tunnel. The pink parking spaces are equipped with cameras in operation 24 hours a day, directly connected to the Operations Room (24 hours a day), an on call SOS system, automatic cash machines in the immediate vicinity for payment, and toilets on the floor or in the immediate vicinity.
Another ninety-seven courtesy parking spaces are at the Long Stay car park, Sector 1 (covered). Located near one of the stops of the free airport shuttle to the Terminals. Once you have parked the car in less than 10 minutes you are in front of the Terminals.
I!!! Customer Service is available in the car park; you can also contact it pressing the button on the automatic cash machines at the shuttle stops, or from the entrance / exit devices of the parking lot.
Strollers
If you are travelling with a pushchair, check with your airline whether you have to check it in before boarding. If you need to check it in, go to the 'Oversize Baggage' check-in desk to hand it in. If you do not have to check it in, you may take it with you and hand it over to the handler when you board the plane.
If you are arriving at the airport, your pushchair will be returned to you at the oversize baggage conveyor belts in the baggage reclaim areas of Terminals 1 and 3, depending on where your flight is coming from.
If you need a pushchair to get to the baggage reclaim, you can use one of the 100 pushchairs provided free of charge by Aeroporti di Roma. You can find them in the restricted areas both in Terminal 1, near the exits of the gates in disembarkation area A, and in Terminal 3 near the exits of the gates in disembarkation area E, towards the passport control area.
When you have finished using it, you can leave it wherever is most convenient at baggage reclaim, and we will collect it and return it to the pushchair pick-up point.

How to go through security
If you are travelling with your children or you are pregnant, go to the family lane, furthermore, below you can find some information on the necessary products during your trip that you can bring and some advice on how to deal with the security checks:
- Remember to remove children’s food items from your bag, including feeding bottles, milk, fruit juices, water and other drinks, baby food and soups you have prepared. Place the individual containers into the tray so that security staff can carry out the necessary checks faster and more easily
- Liquid products for babies, cream, gel and paste, for example drinks, soups and syrups, may be taken on board the aircraft after being checked, even if the baby is not there in that moment.
What do I do with the stroller?
- Remove all accessories from it, such as the rain cover, games, and changing bag. Put everything into the tray and then onto the belt. Please remove your child from the stroller. You may have to carry the child. We will need to check the stroller, so please close it and ask security staff to help you place it into the x-ray machine
- If you are departing and have checked in proceed to the security control through the Family Lane.
Nurseries
Four nurseries are available for little ones, equipped with cots and changing tables. One is located in the check in area, behind desks 312-327. The others are located near Gates A01 (nursery currently closed for renovations), E11, and E44.
Play areas
Leonardo da Vinci–Fiumicino Airport in Rome is offering a new service to families and its youngest passengers. ADR has created baby corners with children’s games located in:
- Terminal 1, within the commercial area, close to gate A27 and in the baggage claim area close to belt 28;
- Terminal 3, within the food area, close to gate E11, between gate E41-E42, near the transit desk E31, before arriving gate E51 and in the baggage claim area close to belt 12
Family toilets
In addition to the nurseries, there are also family toilets available at Fiumicino Airport. These toilets are dedicated to parents who are travelling with children and are equipped with all comforts. Additionally, to make little ones’ time in the airport more comfortable, there are changing tables and child-friendly washbasins in the airport bathrooms.
Services for little ones
Some airport restaurant points have high chairs available. If you cannot see one, please ask a member of staff.
If you need to heat a feeding bottle or baby food or sterilise a dummy, simply ask for assistance at the restaurant points.
More useful advice:
- When the aircraft is taking off or landing, help to balance out the changes in air pressure by giving your child a dummy or feeding bottle
- If your child has a cold, get some nasal drops to help balance out the changes in pressure by administering them half an hour before take-off and half an hour after landing
- Prepare a snack for the journey
- Dress your child in layers to solve problems of differing weather conditions between the place of departure, on board the air plane (air conditioning), and the place of arrival
- Your child’s feet may swell slightly due to the high altitude. We recommend that you remove your child’s shoes when on board
