Child seats in Florida: what the law requires and what we provide

Florida requires a car seat or booster for every child under six, and rideshare drivers do not carry them. Here is how it works with us.

Florida Statute 316.613 requires children through age five to ride in a federally approved child restraint. Ages zero to three must be in a separate carrier or car seat; ages four and five may use a booster. There is no exemption for taxis or rideshare, and a driver can be ticketed for carrying an unrestrained child.

Why this matters at the airport

Rideshare drivers in Orlando are not required to carry child seats, and most do not. Families either check their own seats as luggage or find themselves at the curb with a baby and no legal way to leave. A private transfer removes that problem: you tell us the ages when you book and the seats are installed before you land.

What we carry

Rear-facing infant seats, convertible seats for toddlers and high-back boosters for the four-to-eight range. They are included in the fare, cleaned between trips and installed by the chauffeur. If you prefer your own seat, the chauffeur will help you install it and it travels with you.

Booster after five

The law stops at age five, but safety guidance does not: a seat belt fits a child properly only around 4 ft 9 in (145 cm). We recommend a booster until then and carry them for every trip at no charge. Just add the count when you book.
