Traveling with an infant or toddler can be stressful, especially when crossing the U.S.–Canada border from Buffalo Niagara International Airport (BUF). Parents often ask:
Do taxis provide child seats?
Are there special rules for traveling with babies?
How can I ensure my ride is safe and compliant with border regulations?
At BUF Buffalo Airport Taxi, we understand these challenges and have built our service around family safety and convenience. This guide explains the rules, tips, and how we make traveling with little ones easier than ever.
Whether you are heading to Niagara Falls Canada, Toronto, or any destination across the border, child seat laws apply just as they would in any private car:
New York State Law:
Children under 4 years old must be secured in a child safety seat.
Ontario Law (Canada):
Children under 40 lbs (18 kg) must use an appropriate car seat.
Border Crossing Requirement:
Customs officers may check for compliance and proper use of child seats during inspection.
Failing to comply can result in fines, delays, or even refusal to travel.
Unlike rideshare services where child seat availability is unpredictable, BUF Buffalo Airport Taxi offers pre-arranged child seat options so parents can travel worry-free.
Rear-facing infant seats for babies under 2 years
Front-facing toddler seats for children over 2 years
Booster seats for older kids who still need extra support
Simply request the seat during your online booking and we’ll have it ready at no extra hassle.
