Child Seat Rules in Victorian Taxis
Transport Victoria says taxi drivers in Victoria do not have to provide child restraints, child car seats or booster seats, and recommends taking your own. Under its rules for taxis, a baby under one must travel in the back seat and can be carried by the accompanying adult, and a child aged one or over must have their own seat, with a seat belt if no child restraint or booster seat is available. Taxis must have at least one anchorage point for a restraint you bring.
Rideshare and hire cars are different: Transport Victoria says they follow the same child restraint rules as private cars.
We would rather your child travelled in a proper restraint, which is why we fit one when you book. You are welcome to bring your own seat instead, just tell us when you book.
