Taxi with Child Seats
Everything parents need to know about traveling by taxi.
Child car seat 0-9 kg
Babies aged 0 to approximately 9 months old
A 0-9 kg child seat is specially designed for the very youngest: newborns and babies up to approximately 9 months old. For a safe taxi ride, this type of car seat is essential.
What is a 0-9 kg child seat?
A 0-9 kg child seat is a baby seat (Group 0), designed for newborns and young babies in their first months. This type of seat supports the body in a safe, natural position and provides extra protection for the head, neck, and spine. In a taxi, the seat is installed rear-facing, as this best absorbs forces during sudden braking or a collision and reduces the risk of injury.
Key features
- Rear-facing for maximum protection of the neck and spine.
- Deep seat shell with extra side protection.
- Adjustable 3-point or 5-point harness.
- Ergonomic reclined position for newborn babies.
- Secure fastening system, often with an ISOFIX base or the car seat belt.
Why is it essential in a taxi?
Safety comes first, especially when traveling by taxi. Babies do not yet have strong neck muscles and are particularly vulnerable. A proper baby car seat distributes forces during sudden braking, keeps the baby stable in a natural position, and reduces the risk of injury in the event of a collision.
Car seat 9-18 kg
Toddlers from approximately 9 months up to 4 years old
A 9–18 kg car seat is suitable for children from approximately 9 months to 4 years. During this transitional period, children have more freedom of movement, but still need extra protection during taxi rides.
What is a 9-18 kg car seat?
This seat belongs to Group 1 and is used once a child outgrows a 0-9 kg model. The seat is usually installed forward-facing, with a sturdy harness that properly supports the upper body.
Key features
- Keeps the child securely in place with a 5-points harness
- Prevents the body from being thrown forward
- Provides peace of mind for parents who want a taxi with a child seat
- Provides support for the neck, head and torso
For taxi services, this increases both safety and reliability for families.
Child seat 18–36 kg
Children from approximately 4 to 12 years
An 18-36 kg child seat is intended for children from approximately 4 to 12 years old. During this period, a child grows quickly and still needs a booster and proper guidance of the car seat belt.
What is an 18-36 kg child seat?
Seats in this weight class fall under Group 2/3. They are used when children outgrow the toddler seat but are still too small to sit in a car without support. These seats raise the child and position the car seat belt at the correct height.
Key features
- Booster function for optimal posture
- The seat belt runs over the shoulder for optimal safety
- Protection for the head and body in side-impact collisions
- Sturdy installation, usually with ISOFIX anchoring or the car seat belt
Why is it important in a taxi?
Unexpected manoeuvres can occur in a taxi. An 18-36 kg model ensures correct positioning of the car seat belt, prevents sliding under the belt in the event of a collision, and provides additional head and side protection.
