Child Seat Rules in Swedish Taxis: What the Law Says

Swedish law expects children to travel in a restraint suited to their size — a car seat for infants and young children, then a booster once they've outgrown the seat, until an ordinary seat belt fits them correctly on its own. How that applies in a taxi has its own specifics, which is exactly why we fit a proper seat for the youngest children and recommend a booster for older ones who need it, whatever the minimum is.

The exact specifics — at what height a booster is still required, what counts as an appropriate restraint at each stage — are set out by Transportstyrelsen, Sweden's transport agency, and its published guidance is the authoritative source if you want the detail beyond this summary.

We fit bookable child seats for two specific ages: under one year, and one to three years. Add either in the booking form, tell us which age applies, and the seat is fitted before you land — confirmed in advance, not something to negotiate at the kerb.

For a child aged four or older who still needs a booster by height, we don't currently offer a bookable one — bring your own. It's a small, packable item, and mentioning in your booking notes that you're bringing it means the driver knows to expect it, though nothing about the booking itself changes.

If you're not sure whether your child still needs a restraint at all, Transportstyrelsen's guidance is the place to check, since it's based on the individual child's height rather than a single age cutoff that applies to everyone.
