Child Seats

Unfortunately, Express Schiphol Taxi Central does not have child seats. The reason for this is, among other things, that the taxi driver can no longer carry out trips with luggage and 4 people, since the child seat takes up space. In addition, a child seat in a taxi is not mandatory. Click here for more information about child seats in a taxi.

By law, you must transport children up to 135 cm in an approved car seat. Because this is not always possible in practice, there are a few exceptions in the law. These exceptions concern transporting children in your own car, in another car, in a taxi and on the bus.

Exception taxi transport

• If there is no car seat in taxis (recognizable by a blue number plate), children from the age of 3 may be transported in the back seat with the seat belt.
• Children younger than 3 years old may be transported ´loose´  in the back seat, for example on your lap. 
• Only children taller than 135 cm may be transported in the front passenger seat, of course wearing their seat belt.
