  • Child remains secured in stroller with all belts and harnesses, as equipped.
  • Stroller must not block passenger ingress and egress/passenger aisle cannot be blocked by stroller.
  • Fairfax Connector Operators may deploy the wheelchair ramp if requested, so all passengers, including children in strollers can board safely.

  • Fairfax Connector Operators are not required to lift, push, or handle strollers.
