Last updated: October 12, 2025
True North VIP offers child safety seats upon request, subject to availability. This policy explains the seat types we provide, what information we require, and how we follow applicable child passenger safety laws. For more on our family car service, see our dedicated service page.
Seat Types Available
We can provide:
- Infant seats (rear-facing)
- Convertible seats (rear-facing or forward-facing)
- Booster seats
Information Required at Booking
When requesting a child seat, you must provide:
- Child's age
- Child's weight
- Child's height
- Requested configuration: rear-facing, forward-facing, or booster
This ensures we can prepare the appropriate seat type and installation plan.
Compliance with Child Passenger Safety Laws
Child restraint requirements vary by state. We aim to comply with applicable rules for the jurisdictions where service is provided and to follow manufacturer height/weight limits for each seat.
Key references for common service areas include:
- New York: Children must be restrained in an appropriate child restraint system until their 8th birthday, and children under 2 must ride rear-facing. NY DMV — Safety Restraints
- New Jersey: State guidance commonly summarizes rear-facing requirements for young children and booster requirements for children under 8 and under a height threshold (57 inches). Safe Kids Worldwide — NJ Laws
- Connecticut: Official guidance provides age/weight bands for rear-facing, harness seats, and booster seats. CT.gov — Child Passenger Safety
Installation & Responsibility
- Child seats are installed and used according to manufacturer instructions.
- The parent or guardian is responsible for confirming the child is properly secured before travel begins.
- If you bring your own car seat, it must be in good condition and appropriate for the child. We can assist with placement, but the guardian remains responsible for final fit and securement.
Safety & Refusal of Service
If a child is not properly secured, the chauffeur may delay or refuse service until the child can be safely restrained.
