London Underground – Is It Allowed To Enter With Children In Their Chair?
Depends what you mean by chair.
Small children in buggies? Yes, they are allowed. And you don’t need a ticket for someone that small; just go through the manned barrier at the ticket gate. Just make sure your careful on the escalator.
Children in wheel chairs? Yes, but make sure you look on the tube map before you start your journey. Alot of stations do not have step free access, and so connecting with other trains or leaving the station would cause a problem.
Yes, simply go up to the gate and ask the man to let you through. It can be a little tricky on the escalator and steps so you might want to bring someone along to help (or ask a kind looking stranger). Kids are free on the underground so you only need a ticket or Oyster card for yourself. Some stations have lift access but only the recently built ones mainly on the Jubilee Line as the underground was built over a hundred years ago.
Depending on how far you are going, you might be better by bus if you are on your own. Most london buses now have low floors for boarding and at least a couple of buggy spaces if there is no one in a wheelchair using them so you don’t need to fold it.

Yes, but wheelchairs have restricted access at some stations. You can take baby buggies on at any station, just be careful at all times, especially on the escalators and when getting on and off the trains.
