Why Car Seat Safety Matters in a Toronto Taxi
Not all car seats are designed the same, and they vary by your child’s age and size. Toronto Taxi Limo is proud to offer three basic kinds of child seats with our taxi with baby seat service.
Rear-Facing Infant Seat
The first kind of car seat you can reserve, is one suitable for newborn and infant babies. Rear-facing infant car seats give crucial support to a child’s head, neck, and spine. In Ontario, babies must be in rear-facing car seats until they are no longer within the seat manufacturer’s size or weight specifications which normally is up to about two years of age. If booking for an infant, the parent should mention his/her age and approximate size for an accurate child seat selection.
Forward-Facing Toddler Seat
Once a child has outgrown their rear-facing car seat, they will progress to forward-facing infant car seats which come equipped with five-point harnesses. These car seats are generally for children ranging in age from 2-4 but, as with all car seats, a child’s weight and height take priority. You may reserve such car seats as part of our service.
Booster Seat
When a child is outgrowing their forward-facing infant car seat, he or she will move to the next stage of child restraint car seats-the booster seat. A booster car seat brings the car seatbelt up to fit the child’s body so it rests against the body as it should, instead of on the tummy and across the face. A child must remain in a booster seat until the child is at least eight years old, or is at least 36 kg (80 pounds) and 145 cm (4 feet 9 inches) tall. Reservations for this kind of child seat may also be placed.

Always adhere to the manufacturer’s recommendations for your child’s seat. When in doubt, it’s better for children to stay in their current seat type for longer than to move them up too early.
Airport Taxi with Car Seat Toronto – Why Families Pre-Book
It is at the airport that most families encounter difficulties with child restraints. Standard curb side airport taxis in Toronto typically do not stock car seats, and even if they did, last minute requests are extremely unlikely to be fulfilled. Pre-booking an airport taxi with car seat Toronto guarantees that the correct seating system is installed and ready to go in the vehicle before the driver reaches you.
Whether you are being dropped off at or picked up from Toronto Pearson International Airport (YYZ) or Billy Bishop Toronto City Airport (YTZ), Toronto Taxi Limo will arrange for your airport taxi with car seat. Beforehand the driver will verify seat type, installation and appropriateness of vehicle.
Arriving at Pearson with Young Children
No parent desires to fumble around finding safe transportation for weary young children after a gruelling flight. Arranging for an airport taxi with car seat means your driver is there when you reach the arrivals level with your designated seat already installed. You’ll collect your bags, identify your ride and make your way directly there-no searching, no haggling, and no stress.
