Questions about shuttles from LAX

[DoleWhip81]

This will be the first time my wife and I have traveled with our twin boys and I had a couple of questions regarding transportation to our hotel. I am needing to find out if we will need to bring our car seats or if any of the shuttles services have seats for the kids to use. The thought of holding them on our lap in the shuttle van is a little unsettling so if I need to plan for the extra cost of flying with their car seats then that is fine. Also since they will be 2 when we travel does anyone know if the shuttles charge for kids this age?

By law you will have to car seats for them in any transportation that has seat belts - so Super Shuttle, taxi, etc. The only one you don't is the Disneyland Express (DLE) through Greyhound, which is a larger motor coach. Some of the shared van services may have car seats you can use, but I am always against that since you don't know their history (are they expired, have they ever been in an accident, have they been cleaned & cared for properly, etc). That said, bringing your own car seats won't cost you anything. You may check them for free with your luggage on most airlines (I also advice against this), you can gate check them for free, or since your children are over 2 and need their own seats, you may bring them on board to use. I don't know the pricing structure of other shuttles, but I know the DLE allows 3 kids to ride free per paying adult.

Great information! Thank you so much for the help. We are still beginners when it comes to traveling with kids.
