Why book the seat

A booked car is the only way to know the seat will be there.

In NSW, hire cars and rideshare follow the same rules as private cars: every child under 7 must be in a suitable approved restraint. Taxis are the exception, where a child over 1 can ride on a rear seatbelt. A baby under 1 needs an approved restraint in any of them.

What the rules don't do is make anyone carry a seat. Standard taxis, hire cars and rideshare aren't required to have one on board. If you need a child seat at the airport, it has to be booked, and that's where a pre-booked chauffeur makes the difference.

How to book

Booking a car with child seats, in six steps.

  1. Step 1

    Get a price

    Put your pickup, destination and vehicle into the instant quote, then book straight from it.

  2. Step 2

    Add each child

    Their age and rough weight, so the right restraint goes in: a rear-facing capsule, a forward-facing seat or a booster.

  3. Step 3

    Add the flight number

    The pickup follows your actual landing time, so nobody's waiting at the kerb with a tired toddler.

  4. Step 4

    Pick the vehicle

    A sedan suits one or two seats. An SUV adds room for the pram. A people mover takes the whole family and the luggage.

  5. Step 5

    Book 24 to 48 hours ahead

    That gives time to confirm the right seats. Shorter notice can often work for standard seats.

  6. Step 6

    Confirm and track

    You get the chauffeur's details and a live tracking link, so you can stay inside with the kids until the car is there.

Restraint types

The right restraint for each age.

NSW's age bands for child restraints, as a guide. Size matters too, so tell us each child's age and rough weight when you book.

Under 6 months

A rear-facing restraint, such as a baby capsule. The one you'll want for a hospital discharge ride or a first trip with a newborn.

6 months to 4 years

A rear-facing or forward-facing child seat with an inbuilt harness. Most toddlers on a family holiday sit here.

4 to 7 years

A forward-facing seat with an inbuilt harness, or a booster seat that positions the adult seatbelt across the chest and lap.

What happens after you book

Fitted, tracked and waiting before you land.

Seats fitted before pickup

Your chauffeur installs the requested restraints before arriving, so you're not wrestling a capsule at the kerb.

Cleaned between trips

Every restraint is cleaned and inspected before each booking.

Your own seat, if you prefer

Bringing your child's seat? Note it when you book and your chauffeur will help fit it.

Met by name in arrivals

Your chauffeur meets you inside the terminal with a name sign, and takes the pram and the bags first.

The flight is tracked

Early or late, the pickup moves with the landing. Nobody has to call anyone mid-flight.

Hospital discharge rides

Taking your newborn home? Book a rear-facing capsule and a pickup around the discharge time, and the car arrives ready.

Free waiting time

30 minutes for domestic flights and 60 minutes for international flights, starting when the chauffeur arrives.

Driver delay, if you need it

A nappy change, slow bags or a long customs queue? Add a driver delay so the chauffeur arrives closer to when you're ready.

Share the live tracking link

The person who booked can follow the car on a live map, so your partner knows when you'll be home.

Pick the right car

Plan the car around the seats and the pram.

Child seats take cabin space and prams take boot space. Count both before you count heads.

Options compared

Taxi, rideshare or chauffeur: who brings the seat?

Under NSW rules, none of them has to carry a child seat. The difference is whether one can be booked, fitted and waiting when you land.

FAQ

Child seat airport transfer questions.

Do you provide child seats for airport transfers?

Yes, in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth, Adelaide, Canberra and the Gold Coast. Request a rear-facing capsule, a forward-facing child seat or a booster when you book, and your chauffeur fits it before pickup. The cost shows when you add the seat to your booking.

How far ahead should I book a child seat?

We recommend 24 to 48 hours, so the right seats are confirmed. Shorter notice can often work for standard seats.

Can I use my own child seat?

Yes. Note it when you book and your chauffeur will help fit it before you set off.

Does my child need a car seat in a chauffeur car?

In NSW, yes. Hire cars and rideshare follow the same rules as private cars, so every child under 7 must be in a suitable approved restraint. Rules differ slightly in other states.

Do taxis have to provide a baby seat?

No. In NSW, standard taxis, hire cars and rideshare aren't required to carry a child restraint. A taxi can't start a trip with a baby under 1 unless an approved restraint is used.

Are your child seats cleaned between trips?

Yes. Every restraint is cleaned and inspected before each booking.

Can you pick us up from hospital with a newborn?

Yes. Book a rear-facing capsule and a pickup time around the discharge, and your chauffeur arrives with the capsule fitted.

How much is a transfer with child seats?

It depends on the trip, the vehicle and how many seats you need. The instant quote shows the trip price, and the seat cost shows when you add seats to the booking. Tolls and parking are added at actual cost and itemised on your GST tax invoice.

Flying with little ones? Book the seats with the car.

A capsule, child seat or booster fitted before pickup, your flight tracked, and a chauffeur who takes the pram and bags first.
