Landing at Orlando International with a toddler and a stroller is stressful enough without wondering whether a car seat will be waiting at the curb. This guide explains how car seats work with a private Orlando car service, what Florida's child restraint law says, and what to tell your chauffeur when you book.
What does Florida law say about car seats?
Florida's child restraint statute, section 316.613, requires an operator transporting a child age five or younger to use a crash-tested, federally approved restraint. For children three and younger that means a separate carrier or a car seat built into the vehicle. For ages four and five, a separate seat, a built-in seat or a booster that works with the vehicle's seat belt is expected.
The statute has historically included an exemption for chauffeur-driven vehicles that are hired for compensation, and the wording and the age limit can change from year to year. Read the current text of s. 316.613 on flsenate.gov before relying on any exemption. Even where one applies, parents remain responsible for their children's safety, and a properly fitted seat is the safest way for a small child to ride.
Which car seat does my child need?
- Infant seat (rear-facing): newborns up to about 24 months and roughly 30 lb
- Toddler or convertible seat (forward-facing): about 2 to 4 years and roughly 20 to 65 lb
- High-back booster: about 4 to 8 years and roughly 40 to 100 lb
- Backless booster: about 6 to 10 years and roughly 40 to 120 lb
These are general ranges. Always follow the weight and height limits printed on the seat, and tell us your child's age and weight when you book so the correct model is installed.
How to book a car service with a car seat
- Choose your vehicle: a sedan fits up to two car seats, an SUV up to three, and a Sprinter four or more.
- Add each child's age and weight in the booking notes.
- Share your flight number so your chauffeur is waiting at baggage claim even if the flight is late.
- Your chauffeur installs and inspects each seat before pickup and shows you the harness.
Car seats are available for an additional charge on every reservation. You are also welcome to bring your own seat and ask your chauffeur to install it.
Why not rely on rideshare?
Rideshare drivers rarely carry car seats, and cancellations are common at the airport late at night. A private chauffeur who has your children's details in advance removes the guesswork at the curb, loads the stroller and luggage, and drives direct to your Disney resort, Universal hotel or Kissimmee villa.
Tips for flying in with children
- Keep your child's weight and age handy for the booking form.
- Pack a light stroller for the airport; your chauffeur loads it at the curb.
- Book an SUV or Sprinter if you are travelling with grandparents and several seats.
- Ask for a late-arrival plan if your flight lands after your children's bedtime.
