Do Airport Transfers Have Child Car Seats? What Parents Need to Know

Travelling with children? Find out how to arrange child car seats and make your family airport transfer easier with Nexus Transfers. 

Travelling with children can involve a little extra planning, particularly when arranging transport to or from the airport. One question many parents ask is whether airport transfers provide child car seats and whether they need to bring their own.

The good news is that child and booster seats can often be arranged in advance, helping families plan a more comfortable and convenient journey. Here's what you need to know before booking your airport transfer.

Can Airport Transfers Provide Child Car Seats?

Yes, many airport transfer companies can accommodate families travelling with young children by providing child or booster seats on request. However, availability and the types of seats offered can vary between companies, so it's always worth checking before you book.

At Nexus Transfers, child and booster seats can be requested in advance. If you're travelling with a baby or young child, let the team know when arranging your journey so they can discuss your requirements.

It's best not to leave this until the day of travel, as making arrangements ahead of time helps ensure everything is ready for your collection.

Do You Need a Child Car Seat for an Airport Transfer?

In the UK, children normally need to use an appropriate child car seat until they reach 12 years old or 135cm in height, whichever comes first.

There are some exceptions for licensed taxis and private hire vehicles. Where an appropriate child seat isn't available, children can travel without one in certain circumstances, depending on their age and where they sit in the vehicle. Children under three must sit in the rear, while those aged three and over can use an adult seat belt in the rear.

Although these exemptions exist, using an appropriate child seat wherever possible is the safer option. If you're booking an airport transfer with children, it's worth discussing the available arrangements with your provider before travelling.
