Travel Safely
with Your Little Ones
Baby seats, infant carriers, and child booster seats available on request for any RydeLynk journey. Book in advance, specify your child's age and weight, and we will have the right seat ready when you arrive.
The Right Seat
for Every Child
We provide four types of approved child restraint to cover every age from newborn to 12 years old. Tell us your child's age and weight when booking and we will fit the correct seat before your journey.
Designed for newborns and very young babies who must travel rear-facing. The safest way to transport infants in any vehicle, distributing crash forces across the baby's back, neck, and head.
Suitable for toddlers and young children who have outgrown the infant carrier. Forward or rear-facing depending on weight, with a full harness system for maximum security during the journey.
A high-back booster seat for older children who have outgrown the baby seat. The full back support and adjustable headrest provide excellent side-impact protection alongside the vehicle seatbelt.
Simple to Request.
Ready When You Are.
Child seats must be pre-booked — we do not carry them as walk-in extras. Here is how the process works.
Start your booking online at rydelynk.co.uk/book or call +44 20 8103 0477. Select your vehicle, journey details, and proceed to the extras section.
Tell us your child's age and weight. This allows us to fit the correct seat type before your pickup. For multiple children, provide details for each child separately.
Your driver fits and checks the appropriate seat before collecting you. The seat will be installed, adjusted to your child's size, and ready for use when you board.
Your driver will assist with getting your child safely into the seat if needed. All seats meet UK regulation standards and are cleaned and inspected before every journey.
Your Child's Safety
Is Not Optional
We take child safety seriously. Every seat we provide meets UK legal requirements and is maintained to the highest standard between journeys.
Important Information
Before You Book
Child seats must be requested at the time of booking — we cannot accommodate last-minute requests on the day. Please book in advance and include your child's age and weight in the booking notes.
UK law requires the use of the correct seat for a child's weight and height. We need your child's current age and weight to fit the appropriate restraint — not their age alone, as children vary considerably.
We can accommodate up to two child seats in a single vehicle depending on vehicle class and the ages of the children. Please let us know the details for each child when booking so we can confirm availability.
You are welcome to bring your own child seat. Please let us know at the time of booking so your driver is prepared. Your own seat will be treated with the same care and fitted securely by your driver.
For families with child seats, we recommend the XL (Volkswagen Sharan) or larger. These vehicles provide more space to fit and access seats comfortably alongside adult passengers and luggage.
Under UK law, the responsibility for ensuring a child travels in an appropriate restraint rests with the driver. RydeLynk takes this obligation seriously and will not proceed with a booking where the correct seat has not been arranged.
Your Questions
Answered
Everything parents need to know before booking a journey with a child seat.
-
No. Child seats are provided at no additional charge. The only requirement is that you request the seat at the time of booking — we cannot accommodate same-day or last-minute requests. Your fixed fare includes the child seat as part of the service.
-
We recommend booking your child seat journey at least 24 hours in advance. This allows us to ensure the correct seat type is available and properly prepared for your journey. For airport transfers, we recommend booking at least 48 hours ahead. We cannot fit a child seat for same-day bookings.
-
UK law and child seat regulations classify seats by weight and height, not age — because children of the same age can vary significantly in size. Fitting a seat based on age alone can mean a child is in the wrong restraint group. We ask for your child's current weight so we can be certain the seat is appropriate and compliant.
-
Yes. We can accommodate up to two child seats depending on the vehicle class and the types of seats required. Please provide the age and weight for each child when booking and we will confirm whether the combination is possible in your chosen vehicle. We recommend the XL or XXL for families with two young children and associated luggage.
-
Yes. You are welcome to bring your own approved child seat. Please inform us at the time of booking so your driver knows to expect it. Your driver will install it securely and check it before departure. Please note that we can only use seats that conform to current UK standards — we will not fit a seat that does not carry the appropriate approval marking.
-
Yes — airport transfers are one of the most common reasons families request child seats with us. We cover all five London airports. For airport pickups, the seat will be installed before your driver enters the arrivals hall, so it is ready the moment you reach the vehicle. Please book at least 48 hours before your flight or landing time.
-
If, on the day of travel, it becomes clear that the seat prepared is not appropriate for your child's size — for example if the details provided at booking were inaccurate — your driver is instructed to not proceed with the journey until the correct seat can be arranged. Your child's safety takes priority over the schedule. Please provide accurate age and weight details when booking to avoid this situation.
