Taking your baby home from Frenchs Forest should feel calm, not rushed. Our newborn taxi Northern Beaches Hospital service collects you with a rear-facing baby capsule already fitted and checked, so you can step outside, buckle your newborn in and enjoy the drive home together.
Northern Beaches families often have a longer trip than they expect, whether it is out to Mona Vale and Pittwater, down to Manly or across to the lower north shore. We plan for that, with a comfortable vehicle, room for the pram and a driver who takes it gently all the way.
About the pick-up at Frenchs Forest
Northern Beaches Hospital is at 105 Frenchs Forest Road West, Frenchs Forest, close to the junction of Warringah Road and the Wakehurst Parkway. The hospital provides maternity care for the Northern Beaches, with its birthing suites on level 2.
The site has a large car park, short-stay parking and more than one way in, so we confirm the exact pick-up point with you when you book or call on the day. That way your partner does not need to collect the car, and you are not standing around with a newborn and bags while someone circles the car park.
Newborn taxi Northern Beaches Hospital: why booking ahead helps
Our base is in Roselands, so for families leaving Frenchs Forest we like to know your plans early. That gives us time to schedule a car with the right seats and space for your gear.
- Book before or soon after the birth with your expected discharge day.
- Call 0426 779 775 once you are signed out and we will confirm when your driver will arrive.
- Let us know about changes, such as an extra night for feeding support, and we will rebook.
We operate 24/7, every day of the year, and your quote is fixed with seats and tolls included. A late sign-out or a change of plans does not change the agreed price.

Gentle driving on Northern Beaches roads
Roads like the Wakehurst Parkway and parts of Pittwater Road have curves, hills and stop-start traffic, which can be uncomfortable after a birth and especially after a caesarean. Our drivers brake early, corner smoothly, slow right down over bumps and choose the calmest route available at the time.
As a rough guide, Manly and Dee Why are usually around 15 to 25 minutes from the hospital, and Mona Vale around 20 to 30 minutes, depending on traffic. Heading further, such as Avalon or the lower north shore? Allow a little longer, and ask your driver if you would like a stop on the way.
Seats fitted properly, every time
Under NSW law, children under seven must travel in an approved restraint suited to their age and size, and babies under six months must face the rear. Taxis have limited exemptions for children over one, but a newborn always needs a correctly installed capsule, and that is hard to get right in a hurry.
We fit an AS/NZS 1754 compliant rear-facing capsule with ISOFIX and a top tether before pickup. Our drivers are trained in installation and can show you how the harness should sit. Seats are cleaned between trips and vehicles are sanitised. Read more about our baby capsule taxi in Sydney.

Prams, twins and beach-family gear
Many parents leave hospital with more than they arrived with: a pram or bassinet, a car full of gifts, and sometimes two babies. We can fit two rear-facing capsules side by side for twins, and add a toddler seat or booster for an older sibling.
Our SUVs and 7-seater vans have generous boot space for prams, double prams and travel cots. For larger families, our people movers with multiple baby seats carry everyone in one trip. Tell us what you are bringing when you book so we can match the vehicle.

Samantha W. · Google reviewFrequently Asked Questions
Do you pick up from Northern Beaches Hospital in Frenchs Forest?
Yes. We collect families from Northern Beaches Hospital at 105 Frenchs Forest Road West, Frenchs Forest, and take them home anywhere on the Northern Beaches and across Sydney. We confirm the exact pick-up point with you when you book or call on the day, so the walk to the car is short.
How far ahead should I book?
As early as you can, ideally before the birth or as soon as you know your likely discharge day. This lets us plan a car with the right seats and boot space. On the day, call 0426 779 775 once you are signed out and we will confirm your driver's arrival.
Is the drive comfortable after a caesarean?
Our drivers take extra care on hilly and winding roads such as the Wakehurst Parkway, braking early and slowing over bumps. Bring a small pillow to cushion the seatbelt if you like, and tell your driver if anything feels uncomfortable so they can adjust their driving or route.
Can you take us to Pittwater or Avalon?
Yes. We regularly travel the length of Sydney, including the northern end of the Beaches. Longer trips simply take a little more time, and your quote is fixed in advance with seats and tolls included, so there are no surprises if traffic is slow on the way home.
Do you have room for a pram and twins?
Yes. We can fit two rear-facing capsules side by side and add a seat for an older sibling. Our SUVs, 7-seater vans and people movers have large boots for prams, double prams and travel cots. Let us know what you are bringing when you book.
What does my baby need to wear in the capsule?
Choose a simple, close-fitting outfit without thick padding, so the harness can sit snugly against your baby's body. Once baby is buckled in, place a light wrap or muslin over the top for warmth. Your driver can show you how to check the harness is firm at the shoulders.
