Taxi With Car Seat in Southampton

Child Seat Taxi in Southampton
Every child seats booking is priced for the actual pickup, passenger count and luggage, so the specification below is what you should match against your own journey before we quote.
How this differs from our service pages
Our family and airport pages mention child seats in passing. This page is specifically the child seat provision: which seat suits which age and weight, how many can be fitted per vehicle, how much notice we need, and the rules we work to.
| Specification | Detail |
|---|---|
| Infant seat | Group 0+, rear facing, suitable from birth to about 13 kg |
| Toddler seat | Group 1, forward facing, about 9 kg to 18 kg |
| Booster seat | Group 2 and 3, with a harness or seat belt, about 15 kg to 36 kg |
| Seats per saloon | 1 |
| Seats per MPV | Up to 2 |
| Seats per minivan | Up to 2 |
| Cost | No charge, fitted on request |
| Booking notice | Tell us the ages at the time of booking, 24 hours is safest |
| Suitability | We fit seats to the child age and weight, not to the booking date |
Ideal for
- Airport transfers with a baby or toddler
- Cruise embarkation where a rear facing seat is hard to bring on board
- School runs and nursery pickups
- Any journey where a child will be in the car for a meaningful length of time

Common questions about our child seat taxi service in Southampton.
Yes, and child seats are fitted free of charge on request across the whole fleet. Tell us each child's age and weight when you book and we will specify the correct seat type rather than guessing from the booking date alone.
One in a saloon, up to two in an MPV, and up to two in the 8-seater minivan. For a larger family we will send a second vehicle or a minicoach rather than fitting a seat in the front, which we do not do.
An infant seat is rear facing and used from birth to about 13 kg or 12 months. A booster raises the child so the adult seat belt fits correctly, generally from about 15 kg to 36 kg. Tell us the weight and we will fit the right one.
Not for any standard journey, because we fit seats appropriate to the child free of charge. If you need a particular infant carrier because it clips to your own pushchair frame for a long transfer, mention it and we will try to accommodate it.
Mentioning the child seats when you book is enough for most journeys, because the seats live permanently in our vehicles. For an unusual requirement such as a specific infant carrier, give us at least 24 hours so we can make sure the right vehicle and seat are available.
Yes, and for a baby it is usually easier this way than bringing your own seat through the terminal. Fitted child seats are available on all our cruise transfers, so tell us the ages when you book the terminal transfer.
