Taxi With Baby Seat Melbourne

AS/NZS 1754 Certified

Every child restraint meets Australian Standards AS/NZS 1754 and Australian Design Rules. The same safety requirements that apply to private vehicles apply to ours.

Correctly Fitted, Every Time

Our drivers are trained in child restraint installation per AS/NZS 1754 manufacturer guidelines. If you prefer to use your own seat, they will assist with fitting before the trip starts.

Sanitised Before Every Booking

Every seat is cleaned and sanitised before each trip. We do not cut corners on hygiene when transporting infants and young children.

Available at Any Hour

Middle-of-the-night hospital runs, early morning airport departures, late school pickups. We are available around the clock, every day of the year.

One Clear Seat Price

Each baby or child seat is $29.90, added to your fare when you book, so you see the seat price before you travel.

All Airports Covered

We provide baby seat-equipped vehicles at Melbourne Airport (Tullamarine), Avalon, and Essendon Fields. Just mention it when booking.

Newborns to ~12 Months

Rear-Facing Seat

The safest restraint for infants. In a crash, it spreads the impact across your baby's back, head, and neck rather than concentrating it on one point. Use rear-facing until your baby reaches the seat's maximum weight limit.

Newborns · Infants · Up to ~12kg

6 Months to ~4 Years

Forward-Facing Seat

Once your child has outgrown the rear-facing limit, a forward-facing seat with a five-point harness provides full upper-body protection. Suitable from around 6 months when your child can sit upright, up to approximately 4 years.

Toddlers · 9kg to 18kg · Up to 4 years

4 to 8 Years

Booster Seat

When your child outgrows the harness seat, a booster positions the vehicle seatbelt correctly across their body. Required by law in Victoria until age 7. Our drivers know the installation.

Older children · 18kg and above · 4 to 8 years

Yes. Victorian taxis are exempt from the child restraint rule, so a child over 1 can use a seatbelt and a baby under 1 can be held by an adult in the back seat. A fitted seat is still safer. Read our full guide to child seat rules in Melbourne taxis for the exact age requirements and how the exemption works.

We recommend at least two to three hours notice for baby seat requests so we can confirm the right seat type and have it fitted before your pick up.

Every seat is cleaned and sanitised before each booking. We do not share seats between trips without cleaning. Hygiene matters more when you are transporting infants and young children and we treat it accordingly.
