This page is for parents flying into Los Angeles International Airport (LAX), Burbank, John Wayne, Long Beach or Ontario with a baby, a toddler or a young child and no car seat packed. California law puts every child under 8 in a car seat or booster seat, and it applies in taxis and rideshare cars too. Rideshare drivers are not required to carry a car seat. A car service with car seats booked before you fly settles it: the seat is fitted and waiting when you meet your chauffeur.

How do I book a ride with car seats?
The booking form at the top of this page books the ride and the seats in one go. It starts empty, so your pickup can be any of the five airports, a home or a hotel. Five steps:
- Enter your pickup and drop-off, and the date and time of your pickup.
- Choose the executive sedan (up to 2 car seats) or the luxury SUV (up to 3).
- Under Extras & services, add a child seat for each child and choose its type: infant seat, toddler seat or booster seat. Each seat is $25.
- Write each child's age and weight in "Notes for your chauffeur", so the seat matches the child.
- Review the total, pick a gratuity or none, and pay. The fare is fixed from that point.

Which car seats does iRide360 provide?
iRide360 is a CPUC-licensed (TCP 43833-A) black car service based in El Segundo near LAX. Every car service with car seat booking from iRide360 offers the same three seats, at every airport and on every ride, and you pick one for each child. The infant and toddler seats are name-brand seats with a 5-point harness. The booster seat works with the car's own seat belt.
The three seats, as named on the booking form:
| Seat | Position | How the child is held |
|---|---|---|
| Infant seat | Rear-facing | Built-in 5-point harness |
| Toddler seat | Forward-facing | Built-in 5-point harness |
| Booster seat | Placed on the vehicle seat | The car's own lap-and-shoulder belt |
- Car service with infant car seat: for a baby, choose Infant seat. It is installed facing the rear, as California requires for a child under 2 unless the child weighs 40 pounds or more or is 40 inches or taller.
We do not publish age or weight limits for our seats. With each child's age and weight on the booking, your chauffeur fits the seat that matches. For a general picture, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) describe four stages:
- Rear-facing for as long as the seat's own height and weight limits allow; the CDC says until about age 2 to 4.
- Forward-facing with a harness after that.
- A booster seat until the seat belt fits; the CDC says this is usually between ages 9 and 12.
- The back seat for every child under 13.
Every seat carries its own limits on its label and in its manual, and those always come first.
How many car seats fit in a sedan or an SUV?
An executive sedan takes up to 2 car seats and a luxury SUV up to 3, because each car seat takes one passenger place. The limits are the same at every airport and on every ride.
| Executive sedan | Luxury SUV | |
|---|---|---|
| Passengers, children included | 3 | 5 |
| Bags | 3 | 5 |
| Car seats you can add on the booking form | Up to 2 | Up to 3 |
| A family that fits | One adult with two children in seats, or two adults with one | Two adults with three children in seats |
A family of four with two young children in seats needs the luxury SUV, because the sedan carries 3 passengers in all. Three children in seats means the SUV as well. A party larger than five travels in more than one car on one reservation.
Why do car seats matter for young children?
The case for a car seat is measured, not assumed. These figures come from US federal safety agencies:
- NHTSA estimates that car seats reduce the risk of fatal injury by 71% for infants under 1 and by 54% for toddlers aged 1 to 4 in passenger cars.
- In light trucks, the vehicle class that includes SUVs, NHTSA puts the reduction at 58% for infants and 59% for toddlers.
- The CDC reports that 1,019 child passengers aged 14 and younger were killed in US crashes in 2023, and that 43% of those killed were not buckled up.
- NHTSA says almost half of car seats are installed incorrectly, and a seat gives its full benefit only when it is fitted correctly.
That last point is why your chauffeur installs the seat before pickup, rather than leaving it to a parent at the curb after a long flight.

What does California car seat law require?
California car seat law applies in private cars, taxis and rideshare cars alike, and part of it changes on January 1, 2027.
The rules today
- Under 2: rear-facing, unless the child weighs 40 pounds or more or is 40 inches or taller.
- Under 8: a car seat or booster seat, in the back seat.
- 8 or older, or at least 4 feet 9 inches tall: the seat belt may be used, if it fits.
- 13 and under: the back seat is recommended by the California Office of Traffic Safety (OTS).
That first rule is the rear facing car seat California requirement. The CDC's advice goes further: keep a child rear-facing until about age 2 to 4, as long as the seat's limits allow.
What changes in the California booster seat law on January 1, 2027?
California Assembly Bill 435 (AB 435), chaptered on October 7, 2025, tightens the California booster seat law from January 1, 2027. A child aged 8 or older counts as properly restrained by the seat belt only after passing a five-step fit test. A child who does not pass stays in a booster.
The five steps:
- The child's back is against the vehicle seat.
- The knees bend at the edge of the seat.
- The shoulder belt crosses the middle of the chest and shoulder, not the neck.
- The lap belt sits low on the hips, touching the thighs.
- The child can stay seated that way for the whole trip.
Taxi and rideshare companies are not required to supply a seat, even though the law applies in their cars. This is a summary, not legal advice. For the full rules, see the California Highway Patrol (CHP), the California Office of Traffic Safety and the text of AB 435.
LAX car service with car seats
An LAX car service with car seats meets your family at the terminal, never at a lot. For LAX transportation with car seat already installed, you choose how to meet at booking:
- Curbside: your chauffeur meets you on the lower Arrivals level.
- Meet-and-greet ($25 option at booking): your chauffeur meets you inside the terminal with a name sign.
- Tom Bradley International Terminal: in the arrivals hall after customs, or at the lower-level curb.
- Delays and waiting: flight tracking moves the pickup with a delayed landing at no charge. The first 60 minutes after landing are free; after that, waiting is $1 per minute.
Every other LAX ride is on our LAX airport car service page. Our LAX arrival guide covers the walk from the gate, and LAX with kids covers the rest of a family trip through the airport.
Can you get car seats at Burbank, John Wayne, Long Beach and Ontario?
Yes. The four other airports iRide360 serves get the same seats at the same $25 per seat, fitted before the chauffeur arrives. An airport car service with car seat booking works the same way at each: you choose at booking between two ways to meet.
- Meet-and-greet ($25 option at booking): your chauffeur parks in short-term parking and meets you at baggage claim with a name sign.
- Curbside (not charged): your chauffeur stays in contact with you and picks you up at the curb once you say you are ready.
The pickup works the same way at all four airports; only Ontario needs one extra detail from you:
| Airport | How the pickup works | Airport page |
|---|---|---|
| Hollywood Burbank Airport (BUR) | Meet-and-greet at baggage claim, or curbside once you are ready | Burbank Airport car service |
| John Wayne Airport, Orange County (SNA) | The same two options | John Wayne Airport car service |
| Long Beach Airport (LGB) | The same two options | Long Beach Airport car service |
| Ontario International Airport (ONT) | The same two options; tell dispatch whether you land at Terminal 2, Terminal 4 or the separate international arrivals facility with U.S. Customs | Ontario Airport car service |
At all five airports your chauffeur tracks your flight, and the first 60 minutes after landing are free; after that, waiting is $1 per minute. iRide360 is a prearranged licensed operator, not a rideshare app. Every airport we serve is on our airport transfers page.
Can you add car seats to city-to-city and hourly rides?
Yes, car seats are not only for flights. A city-to-city ride from a home or a hotel gets the same seats, installed before the chauffeur arrives, with 15 minutes of free waiting at the pickup. On an hourly booking, the child seat is fitted once and stays fitted for the whole booking. That suits a car service with car seats Los Angeles families book for a full day out.
Family destinations and their fares
This page prices the seats; each route page prices the ride. For an airport transfer with car seat to a family destination, the route page shows the executive sedan and luxury SUV starting fares and typical drive times, and the seats add $25 each on top:
- LAX to Anaheim, for the Disneyland Resort area
- LAX to Universal Studios
- LAX to Santa Monica
- LAX to Beverly Hills
- LAX to Pasadena
- LAX to Orange County
- LAX to Irvine
- LAX to Newport Beach
- LAX to Carlsbad, for LEGOLAND California
- LAX to San Diego

What does a car service with car seats cost?

- With iRide360, one car seat adds $25, two seats add $50, and three seats, in the luxury SUV, add $75.
- The ride fare is set by your pickup and drop-off addresses and the vehicle class, and it is fixed at booking. Tolls and taxes are included.
- Gratuity is optional and chosen at checkout: 15%, 18%, 20%, 25% or a custom amount, including $0. The full fare is charged at checkout.
What changes the price, and what does not
- Changes it: the address, the vehicle, extra stops, each car seat, the $25 meet-and-greet at any airport, the $25 pet fee (never charged for a service animal) and waiting past the free 60 minutes at an airport ($1 per minute).
- Does not change it: traffic on the day. The fare does not change after booking.
From the driver's seat: short drive or long, the seat goes in
A short drive or a long one, your child needs a car seat. Safety comes first. That's why we use name-brand seats. Babies ride in an infant seat that faces the back of the car. Toddlers ride in a seat that faces forward. Both have a 5-point harness: straps over the shoulders, at the hips and between the legs, so your child stays secure the whole ride. Your chauffeur puts the seats in before picking you up. Every chauffeur is trained in child safety and in installing car seats. You don't have to worry about a thing. Just get in and enjoy a smooth ride.

Hands down the best service we’ve ever received (and we now use them a lot). Always on time, clean car, and pleasant. We have a toddler and there is always a luxury car seat available whenever we request it. Thank you so much for always helping our family get to where we need to be safely and on time!!

Answers before you travel
Car seat questions from parents
Booking car seats with iRide360
How much does a car service with a car seat cost?
With iRide360, each car seat costs $25, added to the ride fare when you book, at any airport and on any ride. The fare itself depends on your addresses and on the vehicle, the executive sedan or the luxury SUV, and it is fixed at booking with tolls and taxes included. An LAX car service with car seats for two children adds $50 to the fare. Gratuity is optional.
Can I get a car seat at the airport?
Yes, if you book it with your ride: an iRide360 chauffeur installs the car seat before meeting you at LAX, Burbank, John Wayne, Long Beach or Ontario. Add each seat on the booking form at $25 and give your child's age and weight. Booking ahead settles the LAX car seat question: nothing has to be found or carried after a long flight.
Can I get a car seat at Burbank or John Wayne Airport?
Yes, iRide360 adds the same child seats at Hollywood Burbank Airport (BUR) and John Wayne Airport (SNA), $25 each, installed by your chauffeur before pickup. At either airport you choose at booking between a $25 meet-and-greet, with your chauffeur at baggage claim holding a name sign, and a curbside pickup once you say you are ready. Long Beach (LGB) and Ontario (ONT) work the same way.
Which car seats does iRide360 provide?
iRide360 provides three kinds of child seat: an infant seat that faces the rear, a toddler seat that faces forward, and a booster seat. The infant and toddler seats are name-brand seats with a 5-point harness; the booster works with the car's own seat belt. You choose the type for each child on the booking form.
How many car seats fit in an iRide360 car?
The booking form takes up to 2 car seats in the executive sedan and up to 3 in the luxury SUV, at every airport and on every ride. Each seat uses one passenger place, and the sedan carries 3 passengers in all while the SUV carries 5. Two parents with two children in seats therefore need the luxury SUV, and so does a family with three children in seats.
Who installs the car seat?
Your chauffeur installs every car seat before arriving at your pickup, so the seat is already in place when you reach the car. Every chauffeur is trained in child safety and in installing car seats. Share each child's age and weight with the booking, and each child gets the matching seat.
Can I bring my own car seat?
Talk to dispatch at (833) 743-3360 before you book if you want to use your own car seat; the online form books the seats iRide360 supplies. Those cost $25 each and are installed by your chauffeur before pickup, so you have one less bulky item to carry through the airport with young children.
Can I add car seats to an hourly or city-to-city ride?
Yes, car seats can be added to any iRide360 ride, not only airport pickups, at $25 each. On an hourly booking, the child seat is fitted once and stays fitted for the whole booking. On a city-to-city ride from a home or a hotel, your chauffeur arrives with the seats installed and waits 15 minutes at no charge at the pickup.
Do I need a car seat rental in Los Angeles if I book a car service?
Not for the ride from the airport: book the seat with your iRide360 car, and the chauffeur installs it before pickup at $25 per seat. A car seat rental in Los Angeles only matters if you will drive a rental car or ride in other cars during your stay. Any later iRide360 ride can have seats added the same way.
Can I book a limo with car seat service?
Yes, if by limo you mean a private car with a chauffeur: iRide360 runs black executive sedans and luxury SUVs, never stretch limousines. A limo with car seat booking works the same way as any other ride: child seats are $25 each, up to 2 in the sedan and up to 3 in the SUV, installed by your chauffeur before pickup.
Uber, Lyft, taxis and shuttles with children
Can I take my 4 year old in an Uber without a car seat?
No, in California a 4-year-old must ride in a car seat or booster seat in an Uber, the same as in any car. California car seat law puts every child under 8 in a car seat or booster in the back seat, and it applies to rideshare. Rideshare drivers are not required to carry a car seat, so bring one or book a car that supplies it.
Can a child ride in a taxi without a car seat in California?
No, California's car seat rules apply in taxis too, so a child under 8 still needs a car seat or booster seat in the back seat. Taxi companies are not required to supply the seat. If you want a taxi with car seat already fitted, book a private car service that supplies seats, such as iRide360 at $25 per seat.
Can my 2 year old ride in an Uber?
Yes, a 2-year-old can ride in an Uber in California when the child sits in a proper car seat in the back seat. The rideshare driver is not required to carry that seat, so bring one or book a car that supplies it. The CDC advises keeping a child rear-facing until about age 2 to 4, within the seat's limits.
Can you carry a baby in Uber without a car seat?
No, a baby needs a rear-facing car seat in an Uber, the same as in any car in California. The law puts every child under 2 in a rear-facing seat unless the child weighs 40 pounds or more or is 40 inches or taller, and it applies in rideshare cars. An Uber car seat Los Angeles ride means bringing your own seat or choosing Uber's Car Seat option where it is offered.
Will Uber pick me up with a baby?
Uber leaves the car seat to you: its LAX pickup page tells riders to bring their own seat or choose the Car Seat option where it is offered. We could not confirm that the option is available at LAX, and rideshare drivers are not required to carry a seat. An Uber car seat LAX pickup therefore depends on that option or on the seat you bring.
Is there a Lyft car seat option at LAX?
Lyft lists a car seat option only in limited markets, so check the Lyft app before you fly rather than counting on one at LAX. Rideshare drivers are not required to carry a car seat, so a car seat Uber or Lyft ride is never a given.
Is there an LAX shuttle with car seat service?
iRide360 does not run a shuttle; it runs private executive sedans and luxury SUVs with car seats at $25 each, installed by the chauffeur before pickup. If you are searching for an LAX shuttle with car seat service, ask the shuttle operator directly whether it supplies a seat, since a child under 8 still needs one under California law.
Why book a car service with car seat instead of a rideshare?
Booking a car service ahead puts the seat in the car before you reach it, while rideshare drivers are not required to carry one. With iRide360 the seat costs $25, the chauffeur installs it, and the fare is fixed at booking. A rideshare fare uses dynamic pricing, and rideshare pickups at LAX use the LAX-it lot.
California rules
What car seat does my child need in California?
In California, a child under 2 rides rear-facing unless the child weighs 40 pounds or more or is 40 inches or taller. A child under 8 rides in a car seat or booster seat in the back seat. A child who is 8 or older, or at least 4 feet 9 inches tall, may use the seat belt if it fits. From January 1, 2027, a child 8 or older must also pass a five-step fit test first.
Does California's booster seat law change in 2027?
Yes, the California booster seat law changes on January 1, 2027, under AB 435. From that date, a child aged 8 or older counts as properly restrained by a seat belt only after passing a five-step fit test, and a child who does not pass stays in a booster. The test checks the back, the knees, the shoulder belt, the lap belt and whether the child can sit that way for the whole trip.
