Traveling with small children requires very different planning than adult-only trips. After a long flight, doing a transfer with tired kids can be tricky without proper preparation.
1. Ask About Child Seats in Advance
In Turkey, children under 4 must use a child seat or booster in vehicles. But not every transfer company stocks every seat type.
How it works with us:
- Child seat request must be submitted in advance via WhatsApp
- Availability and fee are confirmed during booking
- Seat types: 0–13 kg infant, 9–18 kg child, 15–36 kg booster
- Tell us your child's age and weight
Important: Don't assume the seat will be in the car. Don't travel without WhatsApp confirmation.
2. Luggage Planning
Families with small children carry more than average: stroller, formula, bottles, spare clothes, toys, medicine.
So sedan isn't enough:
| Passengers | Recommended Vehicle |
|---|
| 2 adults + 1 baby | Sedan |
| 2 adults + 2 kids | Minivan |
| 2 adults + 3+ kids | Minivan/Minibus |
| 4 adults + 2 kids | Minibus |
3. Choose the Right Flight Time
- Early morning (06:00–09:00): Kids tired, sleep in the car
- Evening (18:00–21:00): Easiest option
- Night (22:00+): Can be tough
- Midday (12:00–15:00): Kids active, may get bored
4. Keep Transfer Time Short
- Choose hotels near the airport (Lara, Kundu)
- For long distances, take a break (Manavgat, Serik)
- Night transfers go faster — kids sleep
5. Keeping Kids Entertained
- Tablet + headphones (downloaded cartoons)
- Small toys
- Snacks (dried fruit, crackers)
- Water or juice (sippy bottle)
- Stuffed toy / blanket
6. Motion Sickness
- Light meal 30 min before the trip
- You can ask the driver "please drive gently, kids in the car"
- Keep a bag and wet wipes handy
- Have kids look to the side, not forward
- Motion sickness medicine if doctor-approved
7. Practical Airport Tips
- Baby care rooms available
- Stroller to cabin or gate-checked
- Warm water from cafés for bottles
- Changing tables in all restrooms
8. What to Share on WhatsApp
- Number of children and their ages
- Child seat request (how many, which age)
- Stroller to be carried?
- Special needs (allergies, medication)
- Preferred AC temperature
