Travelling with Children: Planning Child Seats, Luggage and Breaks

With children, every trip becomes a logistics exercise. The transfer from the airport should be the part that simply works – provided the seats, the space and the timing are right.

Child seats: the law and the practice

In Germany, children up to their 12th birthday or up to 150 cm in height must travel in a suitable child seat. This also applies in a chauffeur vehicle. On request we provide infant carriers, child seats and booster seats – tell us the age and weight of your children when booking and the right seat will already be fitted when we pick you up.

Bringing your own seat?

No problem. The chauffeur will help you fit it. Please note that seats from non-EU countries are sometimes not approved; in that case one of our seats is the safe choice.

Which vehicle?

• Electric saloon: two adults, one child, suitcases – that works. With a pushchair it gets tight.
• Premium Van XL: the solution for families. Up to six people, room for a pushchair, buggy, suitcases and toys. Sliding doors, high entry, children can stand up in the vehicle.

Long journeys: breaks and entertainment

For trips to Kitzbühel, Salzburg or Lake Garda: a stop is possible at any time – just ask. There is Wi-Fi on board and drinks are ready. Many families choose the pickup time so that the journey falls into nap time – in a van with reclining seats that is much calmer than on the train.

After the flight: buffer

With children, everything takes longer: luggage, toilet breaks, collecting the pushchair from oversized baggage. Plan a 45-minute buffer after landing. The 60 minutes of waiting time are included, so even if there is a delay, there is no stress.

Booking checklist

• Number of children with age and weight
• Pushchair or buggy (foldable?)
• Number of suitcases
• Flight number and a reachable mobile number
