Children's Carriage on the Chisinau Route: Key Features
One of the main advantages of this carriage is its specialized equipment designed to guarantee safety and comfort for young travelers. The carriage will feature ramps for strollers, playpens, changing tables, and hypoallergenic bedding. Additionally, entertainment and special children’s menus will enhance the travel experience. The carriage meets all international travel standards.
This carriage is suitable for families with children of all ages, but is especially designed for infants and children up to 8 years old. Upon boarding, young passengers will receive wristbands indicating their compartment and parental contact information. The corridor will feature interactive elements and soft handrails to ensure children's safety. The carriage's design incorporates materials developed with UNICEF’s support.
The children's carriage will operate as part of train No. 351/352, departing from Kyiv at 5:05 PM and arriving in Chisinau at 11:30 AM the next day.
