Choosing a child seat is part of the vehicle arrangement, not a detail to leave until the airport kerb. The transfer team needs enough information to discuss a suitable seat and confirm it before your journey. Families should also consider how seats, strollers and luggage share the available space. A passenger count alone cannot describe the full loading needs of a family arriving for a Davos stay.
Describe each child separately
Give each child’s age, height and weight, and identify any specific seating requirement you already use. Avoid describing two children collectively as small children when they may require different arrangements. If a child needs rear-facing travel, state that explicitly at the request stage. The team must confirm the requested equipment; entering a note does not itself establish that a particular seat model or installation is available.
Distinguish supplied seats from your own equipment
State whether you request a supplied seat or intend to bring your own. For your own seat, include its model or relevant dimensions and explain whether it will travel with the child throughout the journey. Do not count a checked child seat as an ordinary suitcase without mentioning it. If it is delayed by the airline, contact dispatch before leaving baggage reclaim so an appropriate alternative can be discussed.
Price the seat request transparently
The stated child-seat charge is CHF 15 per seat per booking. Ask the written quotation to identify the number of requested seats and any additional arrangements. Do not interpret the charge as a guarantee of any possible seat configuration in every vehicle. Capacity, the child’s requirements and the planned luggage still need to be reviewed together before the car is confirmed.
Measure the stroller rather than naming only the brand
Provide the stroller’s folded dimensions and mention a separate carrycot, double frame or travel bag. A compact folding stroller and a large double stroller occupy different spaces even though both count as one item. Include all suitcases and ski equipment in the same list. If the outward car was booked before the family’s packing plan was final, send the updated load before travel rather than testing the fit at pickup.
Use the airport handover to check the arrangement
Keep the children with an accompanying adult while luggage is loaded, then check the confirmed seating arrangement before departure. Allow time for boarding and settling the family. If something differs from what was agreed, raise it with the driver and dispatch immediately. Arrange any feeding or comfort stop in advance where possible; an unexpected stop may affect timing, so communicate the need before the vehicle begins the long road journey.
Keep the seat request attached to the child’s details if another adult takes over the booking. A forwarded message that says two seats without the associated ages and sizes loses the information needed to check the arrangement, especially when more than one family travels together.
