What Florida's car seat law says, why safety experts recommend a seat on every ride, and how to have seats installed before your Orlando pickup.
Florida's child restraint law requires a car seat or booster for children 5 and under in private vehicles, but it exempts hired vehicles such as car services, taxis and limousines. The U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration still recommends a seat that fits your child's age and size on every ride. The easiest way to do that in Orlando is to book a car service that installs the right seats before you're picked up.

Under Florida Statute 316.613, children through age 3 must ride in a separate carrier or a vehicle manufacturer's integrated child seat. Children aged 4 and 5 may use a separate carrier, an integrated child seat or a booster seat. The law does not apply to chauffeur-driven taxis, limousines, sedans, vans, buses or motor coaches hired to carry passengers.
NHTSA's advice is to choose a seat based on your child's age and size, make sure it fits the vehicle, and use it every time. It also recommends keeping children in the back seat at least through age 12.
Book once and ride together, with seats installed before you arrive.
No. Florida Statute 316.613 exempts hired vehicles. Gray Black installs car seats and boosters on request anyway, because a fitted seat is the safest way for young children to ride.
