Rules for child seats in a taxi

Not legally required in a taxi

In the Netherlands the child seat rule for children under 1.35 metres does not apply to taxis: without a seat, those children travel in the back with the normal seat belt (source: article 59 RVV 1990, in Dutch). For safety we do recommend a seat for babies and toddlers, so it is available for €15 per booking.

More than one seat

You can request several seats in any combination of Maxi-Cosi and toddler seat. The first seat is guaranteed; extra seats depend on what the carrier has available and may not be present on the day. The €15 is charged once per booking, whatever the number.

Bringing your own seat

Bringing your own car seat or Maxi-Cosi is free and handy if you need it at your destination. The driver helps with installing it and with packing it up again at Schiphol.

Book ahead when you can

The first seat is arranged as standard. Need more than one? Then book early: extra seats depend on availability, and the sooner the carrier knows, the better the chance that every child has a seat.

Arranging more than just the seat? On travelling with children you'll find packing tips, timing advice and which vehicle class suits your family.
