Traveling with children in Brindisi: car seats and safety in your private transfer
Planning a family trip also means thinking about your children's safety in the car. With Transfer Brindisi you can request free approved child car seats for every age group, traveling with peace of mind from the airport, the port, or the station to any destination in Salento.
Italian regulations on child car seats
Italian law requires approved restraint systems for children up to 150 cm in height (around 12 years old). Devices are divided by weight and height groups: infant carriers for newborns, seats for toddlers, and booster seats for older children. Ignoring this rule leads to fines and, more importantly, puts your child's safety at risk in the event of sudden braking or an accident.
Many families renting a car on holiday overlook this detail, only to discover the seat must be requested separately, often at an extra cost. With a private transfer service, the car seat can instead be included directly in the booking, avoiding surprises and wasted time on arrival at the airport or the port.
Which car seats we offer and for which ages
Transfer Brindisi provides free approved car seats for different age groups: infant carriers for newborns up to about 13 kg, seats with backrest for children aged 1 to 4, and booster seats for older children up to 12 years old. Simply let us know the child's approximate age or weight when you make your request on WhatsApp.
Our drivers install the device before your arrival, so you won't waste time fitting it yourself after a flight or a ferry crossing. If you're traveling with several children of different ages, let us know in advance: we'll make sure all the necessary devices are already set up in the car.
Practical tips for a stress-free trip with little ones
Besides the car seat, a few small precautions make the trip more pleasant for the whole family. Plan a stop if the journey is longer than ninety minutes, bring snacks and water, and dress children in comfortable clothes, especially in summer when temperatures in Salento can get quite high.
It's also useful to bring a toy or book to keep children entertained during longer transfers, such as those to Matera or Valle d'Itria. Our vehicles are air-conditioned and clean, a detail that matters a great deal when traveling with infants or young children.
Vans and luggage space for larger families
Large families often struggle to find a rental car spacious enough for luggage, strollers, and car seats all together. Our vans, seating up to 8 people, offer plenty of room for both passengers and luggage, so you can bring the stroller, the diaper bag, and the suitcases without leaving anything at home.
If you're traveling with a foldable stroller, let us know when booking so we can choose the most suitable vehicle. For very large groups with several children, we'll work with you to find the best solution, possibly using more than one vehicle.
How to book a transfer with a car seat on WhatsApp
Booking is simple: message us on WhatsApp at +39 351 90 82 843 with the date, time, pick-up and drop-off points, and the number of adults and children with their ages. We'll confirm availability and a fixed price per vehicle straight away, with no hidden costs for car seats.
On the day of your trip, the driver will be waiting punctually with the vehicle already equipped. Whether it's an airport arrival, a disembarkation at the port of Brindisi, or a transfer to one of Salento's tourist destinations, your children's safety will always be our priority.
