At 13Cab Victoria, we understand that traveling with young children requires extra care, preparation, and, most importantly – proper safety measures.
Our certified baby seat taxi service provides Melbourne families with safe, reliable, and comfortable transportation for infants and children of all ages.
Unlike regular taxi services or rideshares that may not prioritize child safety, we specialize in professional child restraint systems that meet and exceed Australian safety standards.
Why Baby Seat Taxis Are Essential for Melbourne Families
1. Australian Child Restraint Laws
In Victoria, strict child restraint laws mandate that:
- Children under 6 months must use a rear-facing infant capsule
- Children 6 months to 4 years must use either a rear-facing or forward-facing child seat with a built-in harness
- Children 4 to 7 years must use a forward-facing seat or booster seat
Our baby seat taxi Melbourne service ensures full compliance with these regulations, giving parents peace of mind while traveling.
2. The Dangers of Improper Restraints
Studies show that correctly used child restraints reduce the risk of:
- Fatal injury by 70% for infants
- Serious injury by 54% for toddlers
Unlike makeshift solutions or unapproved rideshare car seats, our professionally installed systems are:
- Independently crash-tested
- Properly anchored to vehicle ISOFIX points
- Regularly inspected by certified technicians
3. Convenience for Busy Parents
Finding reliable transportation with baby seats can be challenging when:
- Traveling to/from Melbourne Airport with luggage and children

- Running errands across the city
- Visiting family in suburban areas
