When you’re travelling as a family, especially with young children, airport transfers can feel stressful — but they don’t have to be. At DM Airport Transfers, we specialise in providing comfortable, safe, and family-friendly transfers across the UK, whether you’re heading to or from an airport, hotel, cruise port, or event.
What Makes a Transfer “Family-Friendly”?
A family-friendly airport transfer goes beyond just having enough seats. It’s about space for luggage, easy pick-up and drop-off, flexible timings, and drivers who understand that travelling with kids can be unpredictable.
With our range of spacious vehicles, including 5 to 8 seater taxis and minibuses, you can travel together as a family without feeling cramped. Whether it’s a quick transfer from Liverpool Airport to the city centre, or a long-distance trip from Heathrow to Manchester, we’ve got options to suit.
Do You Need a Car Seat in a Taxi or Private Hire Vehicle?
Here’s a question we’re often asked: “Do I need to bring a car seat for my child in a taxi or private hire vehicle?”
The Legal Answer in the UK:
No, child car seats are not legally required in licensed taxis or private hire vehicles (PHVs).
Children under 3 can travel without a child seat or seatbelt in the rear of a licensed taxi or PHV. Children aged 3 and over must wear an adult seatbelt if a child seat is not available.
That said, we know many parents still prefer to use a child seat for peace of mind. If you’d like to bring your own, just let us know in advance so we can allocate a suitable vehicle.
Top Tips for Booking a Family Airport Transfer
1. Book a Bigger Vehicle
Don’t try to squeeze into a standard car. Choose a minibus or 6-8 seater vehicle if you have extra bags, a pushchair, or more than two children.
2. Give Age Details
When booking, let us know the age of your children. While it’s not legally required to provide car seats, we can help advise on the safest options for your journey.
3. Pick Door-to-Door Service
No waiting around at the train station or juggling luggage on buses. We offer door-to-door private hire, taking you from your front door to the airport terminal or hotel lobby.
4. Plan for Delays
Travelling with kids? Expect the unexpected. Our drivers monitor flights and allow for extra time, so if your child needs a last-minute stop, we’ll be flexible.
