Bromma is one of the easier airports to navigate with children. It is small, fast, and close to the city. But there are a few things worth knowing before you land.
The terminal experience
Bromma is compact. The walk from the gate to baggage claim is short, and the terminal is flat with elevators and ramps. There are no long corridors or confusing connections. You will not lose a toddler in this airport. Luggage appears quickly, and the exit is obvious. The whole process from plane to outside can take 10-15 minutes.

Other destinations
Facilities are basic compared to larger airports. There is no dedicated family room or children's play area. Restrooms have changing tables. If you need to feed or change a baby, do it on the plane or find a quiet corner in the small terminal.
Getting to the city with children
Tram line 31 (Tvärbanan) stops right outside the terminal and is step-free, which makes it manageable with one child and a reasonable amount of luggage. But if you have a stroller, a car seat, and multiple suitcases — and a connection onto the metro at the other end — it gets tight, and there is no guarantee of seats at busy times. (The old Flygbussarna airport coach is not an option any more; the route was withdrawn in December 2024.)
A taxi works well for families, but there is a catch: Swedish taxis do not routinely carry child seats. Swedish law requires children under 135 cm to use appropriate restraints. If you take a taxi from the rank, you are unlikely to find one with a child seat ready.
A pre-booked transfer is the most reliable option for families. You can request the specific child seat or booster you need at the time of booking. The driver arrives with it installed. You also get help with luggage, a guaranteed vehicle size, and no scrambling at the taxi rank while managing tired kids.
Child seat rules in Sweden
Sweden takes child safety in vehicles seriously. Children under 135 cm must use an appropriate child restraint. This applies to taxis as well, though enforcement is inconsistent. Some taxi companies carry boosters if requested, but availability is not guaranteed. If your child needs a rear-facing seat or specific restraint, booking a transfer with the seat included is the only reliable approach.
Strollers and heavy luggage
If you are bringing a stroller, it will come through baggage claim as oversized luggage. Bromma's small terminal means you do not have far to carry it. Once outside, a taxi or transfer handles the bulk easily. The tram is step-free and only metres away, but wheeling a stroller plus bags on and off a tram while holding a child's hand — and then changing onto the metro — is not relaxing.
Practical tips for families
Bromma has a small cafe in the terminal, but options are limited. If your children are hungry after landing, plan to eat in the city rather than at the airport. The ride is short enough that this is not a problem.
If you are renting a car, the rental desks are in the terminal. However, Stockholm's city centre is not car-friendly, with congestion charges and limited parking. For a city stay, skip the car and use a transfer to your hotel.
The best family strategy at Bromma: book a transfer with child seats arranged, walk out of the small terminal, and be at your hotel in 20 minutes. It is one of the least stressful airport-to-city journeys in Europe.
