Getting to the airport with one baby is a job. With twins, a little planning makes the difference between a stressful dash and a calm start to your trip.
This plan covers seats, booking details, timing and packing for a taxi to Sydney Airport with two little ones.
Plan the seats first
With twins, the seat setup is the part to sort before anything else. In NSW, children under 7 must use an approved child restraint suited to their age and size, and each child needs their own seat. The NSW Government is clear that babies and children must never share a seatbelt or ride on another person's lap.
Twins are often the same age, but not always the same size, so tell us each child's age when you book. A taxi with baby seat Sydney parents can rely on should have the right restraint for each twin ready to go.
What NSW says about seats in a taxi
Taxis have a few specific rules, according to the NSW Government's child car seat page:
- Children up to 6 months must use a rear-facing child car seat.
- Children aged 6 to 12 months must use a rear-facing seat or a forward-facing seat with an inbuilt harness.
- Children over 12 months must use a booster seat or a properly adjusted and fastened seatbelt.
The rules about children in the front seat still apply. You can ask the taxi for a seat when you book, or ask to use your own. If you're unsure what suits your twins, ask us when you call.

Book ahead and give the full picture
Twins mean more of everything: two seats, usually a double pram, and often more luggage. When you book, mention:
- The age of each child, so each gets a suitable seat.
- Whether you have a double pram and how it folds.
- How many adults and bags are coming.
- Your flight time and terminal.
It also helps to read our guide on a taxi with 2 or 3 car seats before you go.
Leave extra time for the airport
Getting two small children out the door takes longer than you'd think. Build in a buffer for a last-minute nappy change, a feed or a toddler who wants to walk. Check your airline's check-in and boarding times for families, and plan to arrive with room to spare rather than racing the clock.
Our Sydney Airport with a baby guide covers what to expect once you arrive.

Pack so one adult can handle both kids
- Keep essentials within reach. Nappies, wipes, snacks, bottles and a spare change of clothes for each child in one easy bag.
- Doubles of comfort items. If each twin has a favourite toy or dummy, pack a spare.
- Travel documents together. Keep passports and boarding passes in one pocket so your hands are free.
- Fold the pram before the ride ends. Know how to collapse it quickly.

Keep the ride calm
Two babies can set each other off. Feed and change them before you leave if you can, and keep a few quiet toys or snacks (suitable for their age) handy. Avoid feeding a baby in a moving vehicle; ask the driver to pull over somewhere safe instead. On a longer trip, plan a stop so everyone can stretch and settle.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can twins share one car seat in a taxi?
No. Each child needs their own approved restraint. The NSW Government says babies and children must never share a seatbelt or ride on another person's lap.
Do I need to tell the taxi my twins' ages?
Yes. Seat type depends on age and size, so give both ages when you book and the right seats can be fitted before pickup.
Can I bring a double pram in the taxi?
Mention it when you book, along with how it folds and how much luggage you have, so the driver can plan for boot space.
Can I use my own car seats?
The NSW Government says you can ask for a seat when you book or ask to use your own. If you prefer yours, tell us when you book.
