Can you take a pram on a bus in Denmark?

Rules for prams and strollers on buses

Answered at: Checked at:

Short answer

Yes, you can take a pram or stroller on a bus in Denmark for free if there is room, as of November 2026. A bus takes no more than two units, meaning wheelchairs, prams or bicycles, unless the bus shows otherwise. Place the pram facing forward with the brakes on and secure it with the straps if the bus has them. A child may stay in the pram if it is strapped in and supervised. On Midttrafik buses you must lift the pram on yourself, because the driver cannot help.

Public transport

Why

  1. Prams are carried free on Danish buses.
  2. Space is shared with wheelchairs and bikes.
  3. Locked wheels keep the child safe when the bus brakes.

Details

Places for prams are first come, first served, so if the space is taken you wait for the next bus.

Tip

A light, foldable stroller is easier on a busy bus, because a folded stroller counts as luggage.

What may differ

The driver decides whether there is room, and the space on board differs between bus types.

Common misconception

Many parents think the bus driver must help lift the pram on board.

What actually happens

You are expected to get the pram on yourself; the driver stays at the wheel.
