Travelling around Melbourne with a baby or young child requires some extra planning. Silver Taxi Melbourne offers a baby seat taxi Melbourne option for families who want to request a child restraint as part of their taxi booking.
When booking, provide your child’s age along with the number of passengers, luggage and any pram you are carrying. This helps us check the available vehicle and restraint requirements before your journey.
The baby seat costs $10, with a maximum of two baby seats per booking. Call 0493 281 446 or use our online booking form to arrange your trip.
Book Your Baby Seat Taxi
Tell Us About Your Child’s Travel Needs
Baby-seat bookings should be made in advance. Provide the following information when booking:
- Child’s age
- Number of adults and children
- Pickup and destination addresses
- Required date and pickup time
- Luggage requirements
- Whether you are travelling with a pram
- Whether you are travelling to or from Melbourne Airport
- Whether a return journey is required
If more than one child is travelling, provide the requirements for each child so the appropriate arrangement can be checked before the booking.
Which Child Restraint Does Your Child Need?
Child restraint requirements can vary depending on a child’s age and size. Victorian rules also have specific provisions for children travelling in taxis.
When booking with Silver Taxi Melbourne, provide your child’s age and discuss the available restraint option before confirming the journey. Do not assume that a particular child seat will be available without advance notice.
Baby Seat Taxi to Melbourne Airport
Travelling to the airport with children often means managing luggage, prams, flight times and child-seat requirements at the same time.
If you need a baby seat taxi to Melbourne Airport, provide your flight details, child’s age, passenger numbers and luggage requirements when booking.
For airport pickups, provide accurate flight information so the journey can be planned around your arrival. You can also visit our Melbourne Airport Transfer page for more information.
Travelling With Prams and Luggage
A child seat is only one part of planning a family taxi trip. Prams, suitcases, nappy bags and other equipment can affect the amount of space required.
Tell us about larger items when booking rather than assuming they will fit alongside all passengers. You can view the available vehicle categories on Our Fleet page.
For larger families travelling with several children and bags, our Maxi Van Melbourne service may be suitable, subject to availability.
Family Taxi Trips Across Melbourne
A taxi with a requested baby seat can be useful for more than airport travel. Families may need transport to medical appointments, hotels, family gatherings, events, shopping destinations or other Melbourne addresses.
For appointments or large venues, provide the correct entrance and arrival time where possible. If you are staying at a hotel or other accommodation, provide the full property name and address.
Choose the Right Vehicle for Your Family
Vehicle choice should take into account every passenger, child seat, suitcase, pram and other equipment you are carrying.
A sedan may suit a smaller family, while a larger vehicle may be more appropriate for additional passengers or luggage. Check Our Fleet and provide accurate passenger and luggage information when booking.
Pre-Book Your Baby Seat Taxi
Advance booking gives you an opportunity to clearly provide your child’s requirements before a vehicle is allocated.
When booking, mention baby seat, child restraint or booster seat as applicable, and provide your child’s age.
For important journeys such as early airport departures or medical appointments, also provide your required arrival time. For availability questions, call 0493 281 446 or use our Contact Us page.
