Transportation from airport with car seats

Does anyone know if Miami airport taxis or ride share offer car seats? If not, do you know of any transportation company that does? TIA

In Miami, getting airport transportation with car seats requires a bit of planning because standard taxis and most rideshare services do not routinely provide them. Here’s what you need to know:

1. Standard Taxis

  • Most Miami-Dade taxis do not have car seats available. By law, passengers are responsible for providing child safety seats for children under 4 years old or under 40 lbs. This means you would need to bring your own car seat if using a regular taxi.

2. Rideshare Services (Uber / Lyft)

  • Uber offers a “Car Seat” option in Miami, but availability is limited. You can request it through the app, but not all drivers accept it, and it’s usually restricted to children 2–5 years old and under 50 lbs. Lyft also has a similar option called “Car Seat Lyft,” with the same limitations.
  • Even if the service shows availability, it’s recommended to confirm with the driver when they accept the ride.

3. Private Shuttle or Transportation Companies

  • Several Miami airport shuttle and private transport services specialize in family travel and provide car seats upon request. Examples include:
  • Go Airport Shuttle Miami – offers car seats if requested at booking.
  • Florida Shuttle Express – provides child seats for an extra fee.
  • Miami Airport Limo & Private Car Services – can arrange vehicles with one or more car seats for families.

4. Tips for Booking

  • Always specify the number and type of car seats you need when booking. If possible, confirm the arrangement by phone shortly before pickup.
  • Consider bringing your own travel car seat, especially for infants or toddlers, as it guarantees proper fit and safety compliance.
  • For families with more than one child, request a van or SUV to ensure there’s space for all car seats plus luggage.

In summary, while standard taxis and most rideshares may not reliably provide car seats, private shuttle services and certain Uber/Lyft options can accommodate children safely. Planning ahead and confirming your requirements is essential to avoid any issues at Miami Airport.
