Stroller Policy

Strollers do not need to be folded and children can remain seated in the stroller if:

  • The stroller is no larger than 24 inches wide (61 cm) by 48 inches (122 cm) long and
  • Priority seating is not occupied or needed by persons with disabilities.
  • Double strollers are not permitted to be open in the priority seating area because they are too wide and will extend into the aisle.

Open strollers

  • If priority seating areas at the front of the bus are not occupied by persons with disabilities, you may fold up a seat to make room for your stroller.
  • Apply the stroller brakes, make sure your children are facing the back of the bus and hold the stroller tightly while the bus is in motion.
  • If persons requiring priority seating board the bus, the last passenger to board the bus with a stroller must move to a regular seat. Strollers must be folded when in the regular seating areas.
  • Children in accessible strollers may stay in the stroller if it is secured in the tie-down priority seating area.

Open strollers permitted in the priority seating area include:

  • umbrella strollers
  • travel system strollers 
  • tandem strollers
  • three-wheeled strollers
  • jogging strollers

Strollers that must be folded up

  • Double strollers are not permitted to be open in the priority seating area because they are too wide and will extend into the aisle.
  • Strollers larger than the maximum size are not allowed on board unless they are folded and stored out of the way of the bus aisle.

Tips for travelling with a stroller

  • Allow passengers without strollers to board first.
  • Make sure your child is securely buckled into the stroller. You assume full responsibility for the safety of your children.
  • Ask the bus operator to lower the accessible ramp for boarding, if necessary. Operators cannot leave the driver’s seat to help you board.
  • Bags and other items hanging from the handles of strollers cannot block the bus aisle.
