A safer, easier way to travel with little ones
Not every car has a spare baby seat sitting in the boot, and travelling with an infant or toddler is stressful enough without lugging a car seat through the airport or across town. Add a baby seat to your Swan River Cabs booking and it’s already fitted and ready when your taxi arrives.
Taxis in WA are generally exempt from the child car seat road rules that apply to private vehicles — but most parents still prefer their child travels properly restrained, which is exactly why we offer the option.
Types of baby seats we can provide
We keep one seat in rotation and bring whichever suits your child — just mention their age or weight when you book.
Infant capsules (rear-facing)
Suited to newborns and young infants. Faces backward for safety and clips in and out of its base, so you can carry your baby in it without waking them.
Forward-facing & booster seats
Suited to toddlers and young children who’ve outgrown a capsule. A built-in harness or the car’s own seatbelt holds the seat and child in place, depending on their size.

Frequently asked questions
Do Perth taxis provide baby seats?
Not every taxi carries one by default, but Swan River Cabs offers a baby seat as an optional add-on you can select when booking online.
How much does a baby seat cost?
An additional $25 is added to your fare, shown upfront before you confirm your booking — never a surprise on arrival.
What age is the baby seat suitable for?
It suits most infants and toddlers. Add your child’s age or weight in the booking notes so we can confirm it’s the right fit.
Do I need to book the baby seat in advance?
Yes — tick the baby seat option when you book online (or mention it when you call) so a car with one fitted is arranged before your pickup.
Are taxis in WA legally required to have a child seat?
No — taxis are generally exempt from the child restraint road rules that apply to private vehicles. We offer a baby seat as an option for extra peace of mind, not because it is required.
