Our Approach to Child Safe Airport & Long-Distance Transfer

1. Rear Seat Travel: For safe child transfer, all children of any age must travel in the rear seat of our vehicles.

2. Child Restraints: Children should be secured in a suitable car seat or use a seat belt if they are 3 years or older.

• Our drivers will refuse to carry passengers if they are not secure in the vehicle.

• Babies cannot be carried on a parent’s knee.

1. Providing Your Own Car Seats: We kindly request that you provide your own car seats for babies, toddlers, and children. If you’re not taking them with you, we’ll fit and store them for your return journey.

2. Minibus Car Seat: In our Minibus, we offer a Jolie Titan Maxi Cosi forward-facing car seat suitable for children aged 15 months to 12 years.

• The general guidance is that it is better to keep children rearward facing until the age of 4, the legal requirement if up to 15 months. We encourage you to provide your own seat wherever possible.

• Let us know in advance if you need to use our seat.

1. Advance Notice: Please inform us if:

• Any passengers are children under 12 years old or 135 centimetres tall.

• You plan to use a car seat in the vehicle.

• You need the car seat stored for your return journey.

• You’d like to use our Jolie Titan Maxi Cosi set in the Minibus.
