Western Sydney Airport Taxi with Baby Seat

Western Sydney International: what families should know

WSI welcomed its first passenger flight, a Jetstar service to the Gold Coast, on Sunday 25 October 2026. The first international flight, Air New Zealand from Auckland, arrived the next day. It's a brand-new, single-terminal airport at 40 Nancy Drive, Luddenham, and it is designed to operate without a curfew.

Flights are still building up, so it pays to double-check your airline and schedule:

• Jetstar – flying now to Melbourne, the Gold Coast and Brisbane.
• Air New Zealand – flying now to and from Auckland.
• Singapore Airlines – daily Singapore services announced from late November 2026.
• Coming in 2027 – Vietjet (Ho Chi Minh City), Fiji Airways (Nadi) and Qantas (Melbourne and Brisbane) have announced services starting next year.

Because timetables at a new airport can change, always confirm your flight time with your airline before you book your transfer.

Why book a Western Sydney Airport taxi with baby seat

WSI is roughly 45 km from the Sydney CBD, and the drive from the city is often around an hour, depending on traffic. That is a long trip for a baby or toddler, and exactly the kind of journey where a properly fitted seat matters most.

In NSW, children under 7 must travel in an approved child restraint suitable for their age and size. Taxis have a limited exemption for children over 12 months, which is why many rank taxis don't carry seats at all. The law setting the minimum isn't the same as the safest choice, though. A crash doesn't care what type of car you are in, and a correctly installed seat is what protects your child.

With us, the seat is part of the booking, not a hopeful extra. Your driver installs it before pickup, so you're not left at the kerb with a tired child and no safe way home. You can read more about how our airport transfers with baby seat work across Sydney.

The right seat for every age

Tell us your children's ages when you book and we'll match the restraint to each child. Every seat is an Australian Standard (AS/NZS 1754) compliant restraint, anchored with ISOFIX and top tether by drivers trained in correct installation.

• Baby capsules – rear-facing, from newborn to around 12 months.
• Toddler seats – forward-facing with a 5-point harness, for around 1 to 4 years.
• High-back boosters – for around 4 to 8 years.

Travelling with twins, siblings or cousins? We can fit several seats in the same vehicle, and child seats are cleaned between trips.

Room for prams, cots and holiday luggage

Airport trips with kids mean a lot of gear. Our fleet includes premium sedans, SUVs, 7-seater vans and 11-seater people movers, all with generous boot space for prams, double prams, travel cots and suitcases.

If you're travelling as a big family or with grandparents, a maxi taxi with baby seats lets everyone ride together, with several child seats fitted side by side and the luggage in one place. Vehicles are cleaned and sanitised, which matters when your baby is about to spend the day on a plane.

Getting to WSI: roads, drop-off and pick-up

The airport is reached by the toll-free M12 Motorway, which links WSI directly to the M7 and the wider Sydney motorway network. The M12 opened in March 2026, with the M7–M12 interchange connection following in June.

Depending on where you're coming from, other parts of your route may still carry tolls. That's no surprise cost to you: our fixed quote already includes any tolls, along with the baby seats, so the price we give is the price you pay.

At the terminal, taxis and rideshare have dedicated kerbside pick-up areas next to the terminal on Nancy Drive, and the airport has signage to guide you. When you book, give us your flight number and scheduled time so we can plan your pick-up around your arrival.

Booking a WSI family transfer

Because Western Sydney Airport is outside our usual service area, please book in advance rather than on the day. We run 24/7, 365 days a year, on a pre-booked basis, so early-morning and late-evening flights are no problem with enough notice.

When you book, let us know:

• Your pickup address and whether you're departing from or arriving at WSI.
• Your flight number and scheduled time.
• Each child's age, so we bring the right seats.
• How many adults, and what luggage, prams or cots you're bringing.

As one family put it after a delayed arrival: "We had a 40 minute wait on the tarmac and our driver was waiting patiently for us." (Samantha W.)
