Would a women’s purse count as one piece of carry on baggage?
Question: Would a women’s purse count as one piece of carry on baggage?
I am travelling with a toddler & I will have my purse, a diaper bag, a laptop, and the stroller (which I would assume wouldn’t count as it goes below with the check in luggage) I’m flying NWA. I believe I am allowed 2 carry on’s while flying with a toddler.

I believe it does count as a carry on – I think it is a “personal item” – but check the website for your airline and I’m sure you can get a specific answer there. Why don’t you try putting your purse inside the diaper bag when you board? That’s what I usually do.
Yes, a purse is considered a personal bag and one of your carry ons. Most airlines have a 1+1 rule; one carry on bag and one personal bag. Both laptop bags and purses are considered personal bags, however, you can count one of them as your carry on.
If you have purchased a seat for your toddler you are entitled to 1+1 for them. If you haven’t purchased a seat and your child is flying as a lap baby (must be under 2 and must show proof of age) most airlines will allow you to carry a diaper bag and not count it as a carry on.
If you are unsure of NWA’s carry on policy you can check with their website or call customer service. If they will not allow you to take all three items, then condense your purse and diaper bag into one bag. (never check your computer)
