Car seat necessary???

[PlainvilleGirl]

My daughter, her husband, and 2 year old son are going on a RCL cruise out of Ft. Lauderdale in late February. They are wondering if they can get a cab/Uber drive from the airport to the cruise port without bringing a car seatwith them. Any suggestions or tips for them? Thank you in advance.

You can also post on the Florida Departures board for more response from those familiar with FLL transport.

 

There was a previous thread on the board on car seats.

Yes the child is required to use a car seat.

You can ask the question on the Uber site

There's probably no way to avoid the car seat! Uber,Lyft or taxi drivers are usually responsible for fines and costs for a child not being in a proper car seat ..maybe some will accept responsibility for it but most won't! Doesn't hurt to ask!

The car seat will be required.

For a car you need car seats. If taking a shuttle or bus you do not. Last time we cruised from FLL we took the cruise ship transfers to

avoid bringing seats(I have twins, two car seats is too much with luggage). I’m sure you could also ask on trip advisor forums to see if there are drivers with car seats that are reasonably priced.

I'm an ER nurse. Car seats should always be used. Period.

There are independent drivers or shuttles, found one on Yelp, that do provide a car seat. You won’t get the free shuttle from airport to hotel - that’s usually priced per person, but some do have car seats. It beats having to lug around the car seat in the cruise cabin.

In Florida, carseats are MANDATORY for children under 5 years of age.
