Do airport limos in Toronto have child seats?

Free, installed, and available in both facings

Three details matter here, and all three are the traveller-friendly version. First, the seat is free — it's not a paid add-on quietly inflating the fare. Second, both forward-facing and rear-facing seats are available, so infants and older children are both covered. Third, the chauffeur installs it: the seat is fitted in the vehicle before your ride, not handed to a tired parent to wrestle with at the curb while the luggage waits.

That last point is the one parents appreciate most at an airport. After a long flight, with a stroller, a trolley of bags and a child who's been awake since another time zone, 'the seat is already in the car' is worth a great deal.

The fare itself stays the usual flat, all-in quote — base fare, gratuity, fuel where applicable, HST and card fee, with the $15.27 airport pickup fee included on airport pickups. Adding a child seat doesn't move the number.

• Child seats are free — no add-on charge
• Forward-facing and rear-facing options
• Installed by the chauffeur before the ride
• Available on both airport pickups and drop-offs

How to request a child seat when you book

Online, the request lives in the booking options: get your instant quote at /ride/, and select the child seat along with it — noting whether you need rear-facing or forward-facing so the right seat is fitted for your child's stage. Booking by phone at (416) 200-5070, just mention it and it's on the order.

If you're booking an airport pickup, the seat is arranged before the chauffeur leaves for the airport — which, with a base five minutes from Pearson at 207-6760 Davand Dr in Mississauga, means the logistics are handled close to home. Your flight number is collected at booking and the arrival is tracked, so the fitted car is timed to your actual landing, not the schedule.

Booked and then realized you forgot the seat? The emailed self-serve link lets you view and edit your booking up to 12 hours before pickup; inside that window, a quick call sorts it.

Which vehicle fits a family with a car seat

A child in a car seat occupies a full seat, so count them as a passenger when choosing the vehicle. For two parents, one small child and airport luggage, a Sedan or Premium Sedan usually works. The moment you add a second child, a stroller and checked bags for a sun destination, the SUV — seating up to six — earns its keep, and the Premium SUV adds luggage room on top.

Extended families and travel parties move up to the Sprinter Van, which swallows the strollers, the bags and the grandparents together instead of splitting everyone across two cars. The /fleet/ page compares all of them, and the instant quote shows the all-in total per vehicle so the decision is a comparison, not a guess.

As a price anchor: an SUV runs from $194.01 all-in from Pearson to downtown Toronto, against $134.81 for the sedan — often a modest step up for a great deal more space when travelling with children.

Why this matters for airport trips in particular

Ontario requires young children to ride in an appropriate child seat, and the law doesn't pause because you're on the way to catch a flight. Families are left with unattractive options: haul the family car seat through check-in and baggage claim, or gamble on the vehicle that shows up at the curb. A pre-booked car with a proper seat already installed dissolves the dilemma.

It also travels well in both directions. Flying out, the seat is in the car that collects you at home. Flying in — perhaps introducing a new grandchild to Toronto — the seat is fitted in the vehicle before it leaves for the airport, and with meet & greet added for $65, the chauffeur waits inside arrivals with a name sign and helps shepherd the whole caravan of bags and stroller to the car.

Prefer your own seat? Bring it — using your own familiar seat is always an option, and the chauffeured car gives you the time and space to fit it properly, which a curbside pickup rarely does.

Timing an airport run with kids

Children add a variable to every schedule, which is exactly why the booking machinery around the ride helps. For departures, you choose the pickup time — pad it generously; the flat fare doesn't change with the hour. For arrivals, the flight tracking means nobody is rushing a toddler through customs to hit a fixed pickup slot: the car follows your actual landing.

The confirmations keep the grown-ups in sync too — an SMS confirmation at booking, the self-serve link by email, and an SMS reminder about four hours before pickup, which on a travel day with kids is precisely when a reminder is welcome.

Book online at /ride/ up to three hours before pickup; closer than that, call (416) 200-5070 or toll-free 1-877-200-5070 and it's arranged by phone — child seat included.
