Is a diaper bag counted as a carry-on or personal care item?

[Nik's Mom]

Hi,
I was wondering if a diaper backpack would be counted as a carry-on or personal care item? We're flying out of delta song and their website says one carry-on and personal care item (like laptop, purse, camera bag), but it doesn't say if a diaper bag is personal care or not. Does anyone know?
Thanks!

check with your airline to be sure, but I *THINK* it would be a personal
item, but needs to be able to fit under the seat in front of you.

Thanks. I'll give them a call to be safe. DS will need some diapers and a place to store his meds. It will just be a small backpack. Hope it doesn't count as a carry on though.

Does your son have a ticket? If so, he would have a carryon and personal item allowance.

Yes, he has a ticket. I guess it shouldn't be a problem then. Thanks!

I believe the rules for all airlines (but I would just double-check) is that any person who has a seat is able to bring on 1 personal item and 1 carry-on. If the bag is small enough to fit under the seat you shouldn't have to worry.
