The taxi that turns up with the right child seat already fitted. Capsules for newborns, seats for toddlers, boosters for big kids — installed properly before pickup, at no extra charge, in vehicles big enough for the pram too.
Most taxis and rideshares can't legally or safely carry your baby — Victoria requires proper restraints for under-sevens in most vehicles, and 'hold them on your lap' isn't a plan. We solve it the obvious way: tell us the ages, we fit the seats.
Rear-facing infant capsules suitable from birth — the airport pickup with a newborn, finally stress-free.
Forward-facing harnessed seats for the 6-month to 4-year crowd, anchored and checked before we leave the depot.
Booster seats for roughly 4 to 7 year olds, so every child in the family rides legally and safely.
No hire fee, no surcharge — child seats are part of the service. Just tell us ages when you book.
Maxi cabs swallow the pram, the port-a-cot, the luggage and both grandparents — one vehicle, one trip.
Land at 6am with a baby and three bags? Your capsule is already installed when we meet you at arrivals.
In Victoria, children under seven must use an approved child restraint appropriate to their age and size in most vehicles. Taxis have historically operated under exemptions — but an exemption isn't safety, and no parent actually wants their toddler loose on a bench seat. Go Maxi Melbourne carries a full set of restraints and fits the right one for each child before every family booking.
When you book, list each child's age (and roughly their size if they're between stages). We'll fit capsules, harnessed seats or boosters to match, anchored to the vehicle's proper points and checked by the driver. You're welcome to inspect the fit before you load the kids — most parents do, and we like that.
Bringing your own seat instead? That's fine too — our drivers will help fit it. And for bigger family expeditions, see our fleet — the maxi takes all the kids' gear with room to spare.
Right seat, fitted free, every trip. Call, WhatsApp or book online.
