Child seats

This is a very common question when booking a trip on the book this ride website.

So to cut to the chase, what most people do not realise is that currently in Qld there is an exemption of the use of child seats and baby capsules within the rideshare/taxi industry.

The exemption is as follows-

Child restraints are not required on buses, trains or personalised transport services such as taxi, limousine and ride-booking services. A bus is a motor vehicle that can carry 13 or more people (including the driver).

Although child restraints are not required in personalised transport services, if you give enough notice you may be able to pre-book these services with a child restraint. Alternatively you can use your own child restraint.

If a child restraint is in the vehicle, the driver is responsible for ensuring the child is properly restrained.

Children less than 1 year old can be held on the lap of someone 16 years or older. Children more than 1 year old and less than 7 years old can be restrained using a seat belt (but must not sit in the front seat if the vehicle has 2 or more rows of seats).

We do have child seat options with one of our cars with Dan in his Kia Carnival at an additional cost of $25 per seat.
