Step 1: Proper Seat Positioning

Select appropriate back seat location (center position is safest when possible)
Ensure adequate space for proper installation and passenger comfort
Check for LATCH system availability or prepare seat belt method

Step 2: Secure Attachment

Use LATCH (Lower Anchors and Tethers for Children) system when available and within weight limits

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you provide car seats, or do I need to bring my own?

At My|CHFEUR, your family’s comfort and safety come first. There’s no need to bring your own car seat — we provide premium child car seats and booster seats for a smooth, stress-free airport transfer. Simply request a seat when booking, and we’ll ensure everything is ready for your ride. Add-on: $50 per seat

How long does car seat installation take?

Professional car seat installation typically takes 10-15 minutes per seat. Our chauffeurs are trained in proper installation techniques and will ensure your child's car seat is securely installed according to NHTSA guidelines before departure. We recommend allowing extra time for this process when booking.

Are your chauffeurs certified in car seat installation?

All our chauffeurs receive comprehensive training in proper car seat installation following NHTSA guidelines. While they are not certified Child Passenger Safety Technicians, they are well-versed in correct installation procedures for all types of car seats. We always recommend having installations verified by a certified technician when possible.

What if my child outgrows their car seat during our trip?

If you're concerned about your child's car seat being appropriate for their size, we recommend using NHTSA's Car Seat Finder tool before your trip. Our chauffeurs can assist with proper positioning and adjustment, but ultimately, you are responsible for ensuring your child is in an age and size-appropriate car seat that meets current safety standards.

Can I use my car seat base that stays in my personal vehicle?

While car seat bases provide convenience in your personal vehicle, they cannot be pre-installed in our vehicles for hygiene and safety reasons. We recommend using the seat belt or LATCH installation method for your car seat during your ride with us. Our chauffeurs are experienced with both installation methods and will ensure secure installation.

Where is the safest place to install a car seat in your vehicles?

According to NHTSA guidelines, the center rear seat is typically the safest position for a car seat when proper installation is possible. However, if the center position doesn't allow for tight installation or your vehicle doesn't have LATCH anchors there, either rear outboard position is acceptable. Our chauffeurs will help determine the best placement based on your specific situation and our vehicle configuration.

What should I do if I notice the car seat seems loose during the ride?

Safety is our top priority. If you notice any movement or looseness in the car seat installation during your ride, please notify your chauffeur immediately. We will safely pull over and re-check the installation to ensure it meets the "1-inch rule" (no more than 1 inch of movement at the belt path). Never hesitate to speak up about safety concerns – we're here to ensure your child's complete safety.
