Which Singapore airport services offer proper child seats? A round-up of five options for families — from guaranteed infant and booster seats to on-request app bookings.
Travelling with children can be stressful without the right vehicle, safety equipment, or an experienced driver. From infants in rear-facing car seats to toddlers and young children in boosters, a safe airport transfer needs proper child restraints, space for luggage, and a stress-free ride.
While taxis in Singapore are technically exempt from mandatory child seats, many parents prefer services that guarantee one and install it properly. To help families plan, here are five airport taxi and private-hire options in Singapore that offer child seats — vehicle options, comfort, reliability, and family-focused features.
Our top pick for families, because it offers complete peace of mind for parents travelling with children. The fleet ranges from 4-seater limousines to 6-seater Toyota Alphard/Vellfire, 7-seater Mercedes V-Class, 9-seater options, 13-seater minibuses, and wheelchair-accessible vans. Unlike services where a child seat may or may not be available, Platinum Maxi Cab guarantees it when booked in advance.
Best for: families with babies or toddlers, parents travelling with strollers, large family groups, or anyone who wants a fully safe, stress-free airport transfer.
Taxi Bambino has earned a strong reputation among parents as a specialist in child-seat-equipped rides. Their primary focus is safety — every ride comes with a properly installed car seat appropriate for the child’s age and weight.
Best for: parents of infants and toddlers, first-time travellers with babies, or anyone who values absolute safety and proper installation.
Ideal for families who need more space — multiple children, strollers, or extra luggage. The typical fleet includes 6-seater MPVs, 7-seater vans, and 9–13-seater minibuses. Child seats may need to be requested in advance, but these vehicles provide ample room and comfort.
Best for: families with multiple children, groups travelling together, or parents carrying strollers and bulky luggage.
For parents who prefer a premium experience, limousine and chauffeur services offer high-end vehicles with child seats installed on request — commonly the Mercedes E-Class, S-Class, or V-Class. Quiet, smooth rides are ideal for a sleeping toddler or a longer trip.
Best for: families who want comfort and luxury, corporate travellers with children, or parents seeking a stress-free, premium airport transfer.
Some private-hire apps let parents request a child seat at booking, which is convenient for families on the go. Availability may vary, but these services suit quick airport pickups, hotel transfers, or short trips in the city.
Best for: parents who value convenience, app-based booking, and on-demand airport transfers.
Travelling with children requires planning, space, and proper safety equipment. Platinum Maxi Cab is the top choice for most families thanks to guaranteed child seats, spacious vehicles, and reliable service; Taxi Bambino suits infants and toddlers specifically; maxi cabs suit larger families; limousine services suit luxury-seeking parents; and private-hire apps suit convenience-first bookings.
Whichever you choose, always specify the type and number of child seats when booking, to ensure a safe, comfortable, and stress-free journey.
