Travelling with a young child in Melbourne comes with a checklist most parents know too well. The bag is packed, the pram is folded, and the flight is booked— and then comes the question of getting to the airport with a baby in tow at five in the morning. Or reaching a paediatric appointment across town when the car is unavailable. Or simply getting home safely when you are carrying more than you can manage on public transport.
Silver Taxi Melbourne offers a taxi with baby seats in Melbourne for exactly these situations. We have been providing child-safe transport for families across Melbourne for over five years, and it is one of the most frequently requested services we offer. When you book with us, you specify your child’s age and weight, we fit the appropriate restraint before we leave, and your driver arrives with the seat correctly installed and ready. There is no carrying your own seat, no fumbling with fittings at the kerb, and no uncertainty about whether the restraint you have been given actually meets Victorian road safety requirements.
The Right Seat for Your Child’s Age and Size
Child restraint requirements in Victoria are specific, and they exist for good reason. The correct seat depends on your child’s age, height, and weight — not a one-size-fits-all solution. At Silver Taxi Melbourne, we carry a range of approved child restraints and fit them based on the information you give us at booking.
Simple account and business travel.
Use Cabcharge for eligible trips and request a clear receipt for straightforward account reconciliation.
We provide:
- Rear-facing infant capsules for newborns and babies up to approximately 12 months
- Convertible seats for children who have outgrown the capsule stage
- Forward-facing seats with a harness for toddlers and young children
- Booster seats for older children who still require a restraint under Victorian law
When you book a taxi with baby seats, tell us your child’s age and approximate weight. Our driver will have the correct seat fitted and checked before arriving at your address. If you are travelling with more than one child, let us know at the time of booking and we will ensure we have the right combination of seats available.
Airport Transfers with a Baby Seat — Melbourne’s Most Requested Family Service
The most common reason families in Melbourne book a taxi with baby seats is an airport transfer. Getting to Melbourne Airport with an infant or toddler is one of those trips where everything needs to go right — the driver needs to be on time, the vehicle needs to have space for the pram and the luggage, and the child restraint needs to be properly fitted and legally compliant.
Our airport transfers in Melbourne for families are booked with a fixed fare upfront. We track your flight so the pick-up adjusts automatically if your arrival is delayed. And because the taxi with a baby seat is confirmed at booking rather than requested on the day, there is no risk of arriving to find the driver has turned up without one.
We cover all of Melbourne’s suburbs for airport transfers with child seats — CBD, inner suburbs, middle ring, and the outer growth corridors including the northern, eastern, and south-eastern areas. If you are travelling as a family and need a maxi van with additional luggage space, we can arrange that too.
Everyday Family Travel Across Melbourne
Not every booking involving a baby seat is an airport run. Parents and carers across Melbourne use our child-safe taxi service for:
- Medical and specialist appointments for infants and toddlers
- Hospital pick-ups after birth, surgery, or day procedures
- School and childcare runs when the family car is unavailable
- Day trips, family visits, and weekend travel with young children
- Situations where a parent is travelling alone with one or more young children and needs a safe, assisted journey
Our drivers are professional, patient, and experienced with family bookings. They understand that travelling with a young child takes a little longer to get settled, and they do not rush the process. The seat is fitted before they arrive, the vehicle is clean and sanitised, and the journey starts when your family is ready.
