Families and kids

Good to know

• The terminal map lists 25 family restrooms in all, and Concourse T has the most, with four. The airport prints a concourse or level for each one and no gate.
• The airport's printable ADA and Special Services Map marks family restrooms, nursing mothers rooms, sensory rooms and service animal relief areas.
• TSA uses modified screening for children who appear to be 12 or younger and standard screening from age 13. Officers talk to the parent or guardian about a child's screening, and TSA does not separate children from their parents.
• Strollers, baby carriers and car and booster seats are allowed through the checkpoint but are screened by X-ray.
• When an adult's boarding pass shows TSA PreCheck, children 17 and under can use the PreCheck lane without a Known Traveler Number of their own.
• TSA Cares offers dedicated officers to help families with the checkpoint, their belongings and a child's needs. Its number is (855) 787-2227, and TSA asks passengers who need assistance to call 72 hours before the flight.
• The Domestic Terminal directory lists a Wheelchairs & Strollers point and a Strollers point, and the terminal map marks a stroller point at the South checkpoint.
• ATL and Delta have hosted an airport rehearsal called Wings for All for children with intellectual and developmental disabilities and their families, with a simulated flight. The airport's 2019 news item counted it as the fourth year.
