Detailed Drivers is Dallas's premier child seat car service, providing rear-facing infant seats, forward-facing convertible seats, and booster seats as a $25 add-on per seat — flat-rate, no surge — for DFW and Love Field (DAL) airport transfers, Uptown hotel pickups, and corporate family travel across the DFW Metroplex 24/7.
Child seat service in Dallas costs $25 per seat added to your base fare. A sedan from Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport (DFW) to Uptown Dallas runs $75, so one infant seat brings the total to $100.
