Can I book a taxi with a baby seat in Sydney?

Yes. Tell us the age of your child when you book and we send a vehicle fitted with an approved infant capsule, baby seat or booster, plus a driver who helps you fit it safely before the trip starts.

What child restraint will my child need?

Children under 6 months travel in a rear-facing capsule; 6 months to 4 years in a forward-facing baby seat; 4 to 7 years in a booster. Add each child's age in the booking notes so the correct restraint is fitted.

Can I bring my own car seat?

Yes. If you prefer your own restraint, the driver will help you install it in the taxi. Just note it on the booking so the right vehicle is sent.

Do baby seat taxis cost more?

No surcharge for the restraint. The trip is priced on the standard rate — $5 flag fall plus $3.20/km for a sedan, tolls included.
