Planning information reviewed .
Start with the ride your family needs
Arrange the journey and the child-seat request together. Share the full family load before choosing a vehicle, so the ride price and the requested setup can be reviewed as one trip.
For arrivals, add the operating flight and a reachable passenger contact. For departures, provide the pickup door and your airline’s terminal-arrival target. Request the seat for each leg where it is needed.
Price your airport tripEnter the actual hotel or building address, adults, children, bags and stroller. Request each seat separately, and confirm the entrance or loading point so everyone knows where to meet.
Plan your city transferFor appointments, visits or a family outing, compare an hourly itinerary with separate one-way trips. Share the stop list, timing and child-seat needs; additional waiting or changes may affect the price.
Compare hourly serviceBringing your own restraint or traveling with two seats and a stroller? Review the family-load examples before selecting a vehicle.
Know what you are requesting
Choose the request that matches the arrangement you need, not simply the child's age group. The form records a category and direction; it does not identify the actual seat hardware or assess fit.
Rear-facing request
The Infant option is set to rear-facing in booking. Include your baby's current age, height and weight so the requested restraint can be reviewed.
Ask for the actual seat model and its limits before relying on the arrangement.
Rear- or forward-facing request
The Toddler option lets you specify facing direction. The label is a booking category, not a promise of a particular convertible seat or permission to change direction based on age alone.
State the required direction and the child's current measurements in Special Requests.
Forward-facing request
The Booster option is set to forward-facing. A booster request does not establish that a child is ready to leave a harness or that every vehicle position is suitable.
Include the child's measurements and clarify the requested restraint before the trip.
NHTSA recommends rear-facing use until the restraint's rear-facing limit, then a forward-facing harness and tether until its limit, and a booster until the vehicle belt fits correctly. Select and use the restraint according to the child's size, the manufacturer's instructions and the vehicle manual.

Seats, people and everything coming with you
A child counts once as a passenger. Their restraint uses a seating position; it is not another passenger. Folded strollers, carry-ons and oversized bags also need room. These are planning examples, not demonstrations of fit in a particular vehicle.
Passenger count: 3
Enter three passengers, then add the one supplied-seat request separately. List checked bags and carry-ons, plus the stroller model or folded dimensions. A sedan label alone does not confirm the stroller will fit.
Example details: 2 adults; 1 child; 1 seat request; 2 checked bags; 1 folded stroller with dimensions.
Count every adult and child once
Add a separate request for each child, with their individual type, direction and measurements. Include a double stroller or two strollers explicitly. Do not assume that two restraints leave every advertised adult seat usable.
Example details: 2 adults; 2 children; rear-facing request for child 1; booster request for child 2; all bags and stroller dimensions.
Disclose the restraint as well as the bags
Tell reservations that you are bringing your own seat, its model and how it will be used. Request space for the complete load and discuss the installation arrangement before pickup, rather than arriving with an unmentioned item.
Include any detachable base, stroller frame, extra equipment and the time needed to prepare the child for travel.
Airport car service with child-seat requests
Share the operating flight, arrival terminal and live passenger contact. Collect bags and the stroller, then coordinate the final meeting point. Airport procedures can change; current signs and the instructions for your booked service matter more than a generic promise of curbside pickup.
The service-specific Terminal 5 and 7 advisory directs car-service arrivals to Howard Beach. Plan for the airport AirTrain or current replacement transport with children, strollers and bags; do not assume a terminal-curb pickup.
Terminal 7 has a separate September 22 garage-frontage advisory for passenger pickup/drop-off and over-height vehicles. Confirm the current instructions for your booked service, rather than applying taxi or departure directions to a car-service arrival.
JFK pickup advisoryPlan your JFK transferLaGuardia lists car-service pickup across from Terminal A, on Level 2 of the Terminal B parking garage, and in the Terminal C arrivals inner lane. Follow the Car Services signs rather than the nearest taxi queue.
Allow for collecting your stroller and reaching the pickup area before coordinating the car.
LGA car-service locationsPlan your LGA transferNewark directs prebooked passengers to the ground-transportation pickup signs in their terminal. Confirm Terminal A, B or C and the assigned meeting point; do not choose a curb only from the airline name.
Have your family and luggage ready before the final pickup coordination. Terminal curbs are for active loading, not extended waiting.
EWR ground transportationPlan your EWR transferFor general airport service, see airport transfers. For an outbound flight, plan pickup around current traffic and the airline's recommended airport arrival time, allowing for loading and the child's restraint setup.
From trip details to seat requests
Use the hero form for the pickup, destination, date and pickup-local time. In the full booking flow, count every adult and child once and enter luggage and return-trip details.
After vehicle selection, use Add a child seat for each request. Choose Infant, Toddler or Booster and the facing direction where offered. An initial price does not establish restraint compatibility.
Use Special Requests for each child's age, height, weight, required direction, stroller dimensions and unusual bags. Disclose an own restraint and any installation questions.
If the same seats are needed on both legs, select Include on return trip. Review all charges, meeting instructions and applicable terms. Complete the available checkout or custom-request steps; the reservation requires written confirmation.
Before confirming
A displayed price or submitted request does not reserve a vehicle. Your reservation is complete only after written confirmation. Review the seat requests, actual vehicle arrangement, pickup instructions and cancellation terms together.
Legal requirements depend on the vehicle class and jurisdiction. This planning page is not a determination of a taxi or car-service exemption. Use the official guidance below and resolve fit or installation questions before travel.
Answers before you travel
Yes. Enter your JFK arrival or departure itinerary and count the baby in the passenger total. After reviewing a vehicle, select the rear-facing Infant request and provide the child’s age, height and weight in Special Requests. Child seats are $25 each when selected, in addition to the ride fare. Confirm the actual restraint, vehicle fit and airport meeting arrangement before travel.
Yes, you can submit that request. Enter the hotel’s street address, every adult and child, both seat requests, all bags and the folded stroller dimensions. The online selector supports up to two seat requests, but that does not guarantee a particular vehicle fits the entire load. Confirm the arrangement and the hotel pickup entrance before relying on the reservation.
Start with the itinerary, passenger count and luggage, then review a vehicle. Add the supplied-seat requests in the details step and enter each child’s measurements and required facing direction in Special Requests. Review the selected-seat charges and choose whether the seats are also needed on a return leg before payment.
Child seats are $25 each when selected. In standard priced checkout, the charge applies to each supplied seat on each leg where it is selected. It is an add-on to the ride fare, not the fare for the trip. A custom itinerary or vehicle requires a complete written quote.
The current booking labels are Infant, Toddler and Booster. Infant is rear-facing, Booster is forward-facing, and Toddler allows a rear- or forward-facing request. These are request categories rather than a verified seat model, fit assessment or installation guarantee.
The online selector supports up to two supplied-seat requests. Enter each request separately and provide details for both children. If you need more than two, contact reservations before choosing a vehicle; the online limit does not establish availability for a larger arrangement.
After reviewing a vehicle, add the child-seat requests and enter each child's age, height, weight and required facing direction in Special Requests. This is an optional notes field, not an automatic fit checker. Include the details for review and confirm the arrangement before relying on the trip.
Yes. Count every adult and child once in the passenger total, including infants. Add the supplied-seat request separately; do not count the restraint as another passenger. For example, two adults and one baby are three passengers with one seat request.
Select Include on return trip if the supplied seats are needed on the return. The current control repeats the outbound seat count and configuration and adds the seat charges again for that leg. Different seat quantities or types on the return need a separate review with reservations.
Yes, you can request space for your own restraint. Include the seat model, any base, stroller and all luggage when discussing vehicle fit. Clarify the installation arrangement and any charges in advance, and use the restraint according to its instructions, the vehicle manual and applicable law.
No. Vehicle category and maximum passenger labels do not establish the fit of a particular pair of restraints and cargo. Share the complete adult and child count, seat requests, folded stroller dimensions and bag sizes. Ask for the actual configuration to be reviewed rather than assuming fit from the vehicle name.
Ask reservations how the requested restraint and installation arrangement will be handled. The booking form does not certify a seat model, installer or seating position. A responsible adult should review the final fit and securement against the restraint and vehicle instructions before travel; resolve any uncertainty before departing.
Commercial-terminal meet-and-greet is an optional $25 service where offered. Select it for the applicable airport pickup and check the meeting instructions in your written confirmation. It is separate from the child-seat request and does not override airport pickup restrictions. Share your flight, terminal and a live passenger contact for the meeting plan.
A displayed price or submitted request does not reserve a vehicle. Your reservation is complete only after written confirmation. Review the vehicle, seat requests, passenger and luggage load, airport meeting plan, final charges and cancellation terms in that confirmation. An initial vehicle price is not confirmation of child-seat compatibility.
Check the itinerary first, then add seat requests and the details that matter for your children and luggage. For an unusual load or different return arrangement, speak with reservations before choosing the vehicle.
