Manchester Airport Taxi With Child Seats, Fitted Before We Arrive
Travelling through Manchester Airport with young children is hard enough without carrying a car seat through the terminal. We supply infant seats, toddler seats and boosters at low cost on any Manchester Airport transfer, fitted by your driver before they reach your pickup point. You tell us your children’s ages when you book, and the right seats are in the vehicle when it arrives.

Why Parents Book Child Seats With Us
Booking with RideX Taxis is not just transport. Our drivers arrive with age appropriate child seats already fitted, meeting UK safety standards. You do not carry heavy equipment through the terminal or wrestle with a seat at the kerbside with a tired toddler. Everything is ready before you arrive.
That is the part that matters most on an airport run. A seat you hire at a low cost and never have to carry is worth more at 5 am than one you own and have to check into the hold.
Child Seat Types We Carry
We stock three types of child restraint.
| Car seat type | Weight range | Age range | Features |
|---|---|---|---|
| Group 0+ infant car seat | Birth to 13kg | Newborn to 15 months | Rear facing, cleaned and inspected after each trip |
| Toddler car seat | 9kg to 18kg | 1 to 4 years | Forward facing with a five point harness and side impact protection |
| Booster seat | 15kg to 36kg | 4 to 12 years | Lifts children to the correct height for an adult seatbelt, until 135cm or 12 years old |
UK Child Car Seat Rules in Taxis and Private Hire Vehicles
Many parents ask whether a child seat is legally required in a taxi or private hire vehicle. Licensed taxis and PHVs are treated differently from private cars under UK rules, and where a suitable child seat is not available there are specific provisions for how children may travel. The full position is set out on GOV.UK, and we recommend checking it if you are unsure.
Our own position is simpler. We would rather every child in our vehicles is properly restrained, so we carry seats for all age groups and fit them before we arrive. It removes the grey area entirely.
How to Book a Manchester Airport Transfer With Child Seats
Online booking
Enter your flight details, pickup point and number of passengers at ridextaxis.co.uk. On the vehicle selection page, tell us how many child seats you need and the ages of the children. The correct seats are then allocated to your booking.
Phone booking
Call +44 161 507 6677. Our reservations team is available 24 hours a day and can confirm passenger numbers, luggage capacity and vehicle size. Tell us your children’s ages so the right seats are prepared.
Booking lead time
We are a pre booked private hire operator, so every journey is arranged in advance. Please book child seats as early as you can, particularly during school holidays and over Christmas, so the correct seats and a vehicle with space for them are allocated to your job.
What Makes Our Family Service Different
Seats fitted before we arrive
Our drivers install all child seats before reaching your pickup point. That saves you time and removes the risk of an incorrect installation at the kerbside. You check the fitting rather than doing it yourself.
Flight monitoring included
When you give us your flight number, we monitor it in real time. If your flight is early or delayed, your driver knows. You are not charged extra waiting time for a delay outside your control.
Space for family luggage
Travelling with children means extra equipment: pushchairs, changing bags, suitcases. Our vehicles have room for child seats and luggage together. If you are travelling as a larger family, see our family airport taxi options for the right vehicle size.
Multiple seats available
Twins, triplets, or travelling with cousins? Our larger vehicles take multiple child seats. Tell us how many you need at the time of booking and we will allocate a vehicle with the space.
Service Coverage and Terminal Access
We cover Greater Manchester and beyond, serving Terminal 2 and Terminal 3 at Manchester Airport with direct pickup and drop off. Manchester no longer operates Terminal 1. Our drivers know the airport layout and can direct you to the most convenient meeting points and assistance areas when you are travelling with children and luggage.
Child seats are available on any of our journeys, not only airport runs. City centre trips, hotel transfers and longer journeys across the UK all include the same option. The same low seat cost applies whichever affordable Manchester airport taxi service you book.
Child Seat Taxi FAQs
Should I request child seats in advance?
Yes. Booking ahead means we can prepare the right seats for your children’s ages and allocate a vehicle with enough space. We hold seats in reserve, but advance notice guarantees availability.
Can I bring my own car seat instead?
Yes. Let us know when you book. Our drivers will help you load it, though responsibility for securing it correctly remains with you. Some families prefer this because they know their own seat model.
What if I have three children needing car seats?
We can accommodate multiple child seats. Our 8 seater minibuses take up to three seats comfortably with room for adults and luggage. Tell us your requirements in advance so we allocate the right vehicle.
Are the car seats cleaned between passengers?
Yes. Each seat is cleaned between journeys. We understand the hygiene concern, particularly with infant seats, and follow a disinfecting routine after every use.
How much do child seats cost?
Child seats are charged at a low fixed rate per seat, confirmed in your quote at the time of booking. Fitting is included at no extra charge. Call +44 161 507 6677 and we will confirm the exact cost for your journey.
What happens if my flight is delayed?
If you supply your flight number at booking, we track it automatically. Your driver adjusts the pickup time and there are no waiting charges for a normal flight delay.
