Safety First
Florida Car Seat Laws for Taxis and Rideshares
Do You Need a Car Seat in an Uber in Florida?
Under Florida law, for-hire vehicles are exempt from child restraint requirements. That means your Uber driver, your taxi, and your airport shuttle are not required to have a car seat in the vehicle. Your child can legally ride on your lap from MCO to Disney World, Universal, or Port Canaveral. So do you need a car seat in an Uber in Florida? Legally, no. But safety-wise, absolutely.
Legal doesn't mean safe. At Grayson Towncar, we provide complimentary car seats on every family booking — every route, every vehicle — because your child's safety shouldn't depend on a loophole in the law.
Rear-Facing Infant
Birth – 12 Months / Up to 35 lbs
Graco convertible seats installed in rear-facing mode. Secure LATCH connection keeps the seat locked in the vehicle while you carry baby through the terminal.
Convertible Toddler
1 – 4 Years / 20 – 65 lbs
Graco convertible car seats with side-impact protection. Installed rear-facing or forward-facing depending on your child's size and weight.
Backless Booster
4 – 8 Years / 40 – 100 lbs
Backless booster seats that position the seatbelt correctly across your child's chest and lap. High-back boosters available on request.
All seats are professionally installed by our drivers before your arrival. We confirm the correct seat types when you book, match them to your children's ages and weights, and have them secured in your vehicle before you even land. This applies to every route — Disney World airport transportation with car seats, Universal transfers, Epic Universe, and Port Canaveral cruises.
The Problem
Why Uber Car Seat Orlando and Mears Aren't Built for Families
You've got kids, luggage, strollers, and a flight's worth of exhaustion. Here's what families actually deal with when searching for car seat transportation in Orlando.
Uber & Lyft Car Seat Mode Is Unreliable
- Car Seat Mode is only available in a handful of cities and often has zero availability in Orlando
- When a car seat driver is available, wait times run 20-40 minutes while your kids melt down at baggage claim
- The driver is a gig worker — there's no guarantee the seat is installed correctly or even the right type for your child's age
- Lyft doesn't offer car seat mode in most Florida markets at all
- Most families end up holding their kids on their laps or hauling their own car seat through MCO
Mears Connect Doesn't Solve the Problem
- Shared shuttle — you're on a bus with strangers, and there's no way to install a car seat properly
- If you bring your own car seat, it has to be folded and stored in the luggage bay
- Multiple stops before your resort, which means 45-90 minutes of restless kids
- Per-person pricing adds up fast for families — $32 round-trip per adult, $25 per child (3-9)
- No personalized service, no flexibility, and no driver waiting at baggage claim

No matter where you're headed from MCO, your children ride safely with professionally installed car seats at no extra charge.
MCO to Disney World
Our most popular family route. Car seats are pre-installed for the 30-minute ride from Orlando airport to any Disney resort — Grand Floridian, Pop Century, Art of Animation, and every property in between. This is the best transportation from MCO to Disney with car seats: private vehicle, meet and greet at baggage claim, and a free Publix grocery stop on the way. Whether you need MCO to Disney transportation with car seats for one child or three, we've got you covered.
Disney World transportation from MCO →MCO to Universal & Epic Universe
Visiting Universal's new Epic Universe? Universal Orlando car seat transportation is included on all transfers to Universal hotels including Helios Grand, Stella Nova, and Terra Luna. Also covering Royal Pacific, Hard Rock, Cabana Bay, and all other Universal resorts. Whether it's your first time at Islands of Adventure or you're planning a Disney-to-Epic Universe transfer, car seats are included on every ride.
Universal Orlando & Epic Universe transfers →MCO to Port Canaveral
Cruising with toddlers? Port Canaveral car seats are included on all cruise port transfers. The ride from MCO to Port Canaveral runs about 45 minutes — plenty of time for little ones to nap in a properly secured car seat. We'll even stop at Publix so you can grab drinks and snacks for the ship. Heading to a Disney Cruise, Royal Caribbean, or Carnival? Car seats are always included.
Port Canaveral cruise transfers with car seats →Disney to Port Canaveral
Combining a Disney stay with a cruise? Car seats are included on the transfer between your Disney resort and the cruise terminal at Port Canaveral. This is a popular route for families doing a Disney + cruise combo vacation. Your driver will have the same quality Graco seats waiting at your Disney resort lobby, ready for the 60-75 minute ride to the ship.

Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
No. Florida Statute 316.613 exempts for-hire transportation vehicles — including taxis, limos, and rideshares — from child restraint requirements. That means your Uber driver is not legally required to provide a car seat, and your child can ride unrestrained. However, just because it's legal doesn't make it safe. Grayson Towncar provides complimentary car seats on every family booking because we believe your child's safety shouldn't depend on a legal loophole.
We provide Graco car seats in three configurations: rear-facing infant seats for babies up to 12 months and 35 lbs, convertible toddler seats (rear- or forward-facing) for children 1-4 years and 20-65 lbs, and backless booster seats for children 4-8 years and 40-100 lbs. High-back boosters are available on request. All seats are professionally installed by our drivers before your arrival at MCO.
Absolutely. If you prefer to use your own car seat, our driver will help you install it in the vehicle. Many families traveling with infants prefer to bring their own seat so they have it available throughout their vacation. Either way, we'll make sure it's securely installed before we leave the airport.
Yes. When you book a round-trip transfer, car seats are included for both legs. Your return driver will have the same type of seats pre-installed and ready when they pick you up from your hotel or resort.
During the booking process, select the type of car seat you need right on the reservation form. Our team will confirm everything and have the seats installed before your driver meets you at the airport. If you're unsure which seat your child needs, just call us at 407-212-7190 and we'll help you figure it out.
No. Car seats are complimentary on every family booking. There is no extra charge, no deposit, and no hidden fees. This applies to transportation from Orlando airport to Disney World with car seats, Universal transfers, Port Canaveral cruises, and every other route. It's included because we believe every child deserves a safe ride, regardless of whether the law requires it.
Yes. Car seats are included on all Port Canaveral transfers at no extra charge, including MCO to Port Canaveral and Disney World to Port Canaveral routes. Whether you're heading to a Disney Cruise Line sailing, Royal Caribbean, or Carnival, your children will ride safely in professionally installed Graco seats for the entire journey.
No problem at all. We regularly install multiple car seats for families with children of different ages. For example, we can set up a rear-facing infant seat and a booster in the same SUV or minivan. Just specify each child's age and weight when booking, and we'll have the right combination of seats ready when your driver meets you.
