Detailed Drivers is Boston's premier car service with car seat, providing infant seats, convertible seats, and booster seats on all airport transfers and hourly bookings — 24/7 across Boston, Cambridge, Brookline, Newton, and the Greater Boston metro. Car seat service costs $25 per seat, per trip, added to the standard flat-rate price. Your chauffeur pre-installs the requested seat before arriving at Boston Logan International Airport (BOS). As of 2026, Detailed Drivers operates across 30+ US cities with no surge pricing.
Uber and Lyft drivers in Massachusetts are not required to carry car seats. Massachusetts law requires child restraints, but rideshare platforms place the responsibility on the rider. At Boston Logan — especially during winter delays on the Ted Williams Tunnel when surge pricing is active — there is no reliable way to request a car seat through the app. Detailed Drivers pre-installs the correct seat type before arriving at the terminal.
