MCO airport with a baby: 2026 arrival checklist
Landing at Orlando International with an infant in 2026: terminal layout, stroller pickup at baggage claim, feeding rooms, and a step-by-step arrival timeline.
Published 2026-04-24 · Updated 2026-08-18
Key takeaways
- MCO has two terminals: A/B (legacy) and Terminal C, opened 2022 — gear handoffs happen on Level 2 baggage claim in each.
- Budget 45–70 minutes from wheels down to curb with an infant and checked bags.
- Nursing rooms are located near Gates 1–29 and in Terminal C airside; both are free and lockable.
- Stroller and car seat delivery to baggage claim needs a 60-minute heads-up once you land.
- The Brightline station is inside Terminal C, which matters if you are arriving from Miami or West Palm Beach.
Arrival timeline, step by step
- 0 min — land, text us your terminal and carousel.
- 10–20 min — deplane and take the automated people mover to the main terminal.
- 20–40 min — collect bags at Level 2 baggage claim.
- 40–55 min — meet our driver at the carousel, check the stroller and sign the tag.
- 55–70 min — head to the rental car centre on Level 1 or the rideshare pickup on Level 2.
What to keep out of your checked bags
- One day of formula or pouches — TSA allows medically necessary liquids over 3.4 oz.
- Two changes of clothing per child.
- A carrier or sling, which is faster than a stroller through security.
Named facilities that make MCO easier
- Mamava lactation pods near the Terminal A airside food court.
- Family restrooms at each airside near the security exit.
- Hyatt Regency Orlando International, inside Terminal A, for a nap-first arrival.
- Brightline station in Terminal C for onward travel south.
