Two little kids, a stroller, and their grandparents are also there. How do you divide the transportation to Haneda and Narita?
With a charter jumbo taxi that can accommodate child seats, you can have a single vehicle that holds three generations and a large load all at once. There’s no need to change vehicles or transfer passengers.
To sum up, airport transfers with a “special number of people” such as having multiple children, a stroller, and grandparents traveling with them are best handled by charter jumbo taxis that can be equipped with child seats. This is because they can transport the children, stroller, grandparents, and large suitcases all at once on a single vehicle, with zero transfers from the front door to Haneda or Narita Airport. In this article, we will organize what is suitable for a multigenerational family trip, including the legal status of child seats, in conjunction with airport transfers via taxi and carpooling on ride-sharing apps (OTA).
Multiple children + grandparents traveling to the airport—where is it the most difficult?
It’s easy to think that with so many adults involved, everything will work out, but the reality is that the number of times we have to make decisions while carrying three generations of people at the airport is increasing at the same time. First, try to visualize the typical situations in detail.
With the stroller and suitcase, I'm already running out of hands.
My younger child is in a stroller, my older child is holding my hand, and there are 2 or 3 suitcases in the family. When we have to carry our luggage over every time we get to the ticket gate, stairs, and elevator, and then get back to the baggage claim area, we get tired before we even get to the airport.
The children are of different ages and have different needs for the seats they need.
If a child is 0, 4, or even 2 years old and is in the lower elementary school class, the necessary assistive devices (baby seat, child seat, booster seat) will also change depending on the child's physical stature. If you own a car, you must prepare and install everything yourself.
Seeing both the pace of grandparents and the fussiness of children at the same time
Grandparents with slow-moving feet and children who can’t wait. When separated by different cars, they often have to be accompanied by one of them, and the journey tends to be one of communicating with each other. If the family is together, it’s enough to just call out to each other.
Point:The move of three generations is not only due to the "quantity of luggage," but alsoAge difference and difference in walking paceThat takes place simultaneously. That’s why it’s crucial that everyone comes together as one unit.
Comparing methods side by side｜Three generations moving to Haneda and Narita
Each method has its advantages. Not to belittle anyone, but let’s look at it fairly: with this number of people, where is it that’s really difficult?
| means | Multiple children + baby stroller | The burden on grandparents | (car) child seat | Will the family come together? |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Train/Local Line + Limousine Bus | There are often scenes of switching between modes and folding the ladder. | There is a lot of walking and waiting, which makes it tiring. | None (carrying motion) | The aisles and seats are easy to get separated |
| Airport pickup and drop-off via carpooling app and OTA | The default plan is mostly focused on standard plans, making it difficult to set up seat allocation. | It's difficult to choose the type of car and the seating position | It is difficult to arrange for multiple units to be designated. | It is difficult to secure 4 to 9 people with one unit. |
| Ride in separate taxis | The hassle of separating and stacking the luggage | If I get into another car, I won't be able to accompany you. | Arranging for each guest is cumbersome | Families are prone to falling apart |
| charter jumbo cab | The stroller is also stored in the luggage compartment. | Walk from the front door to the door and keep it to a minimum | Prepare in advance with a consultation based on your age (subject to request). | Up to 9 people can be accommodated in one group. |

Why is "one-car-at-a-time" becoming more common among three generations?
Let me address each of the features of the charter jumbo taxi that solve the inconveniences mentioned earlier, one by one.
Baby carriage + large luggage → Stored together in the luggage compartment
In the spacious cargo compartment of the HiAce Wide Super Long, you can load both a folded stroller and suitcases together. This eliminates the need to carry them up the stairs.
Age difference seat → Prepared in advance upon consultation
You can consult us in advance for baby seats for 0-year-old children, child seats for toddlers, booster seats for schoolchildren, etc., to suit your child's age and body size (stock and compatibility must be confirmed).
Families separated → All of them traveled together
Up to nine people in one vehicle. Since the children, grandparents, and parents are all in the same car, they can keep their eyes on the road and continue their conversations as they travel.
The burden on grandparents → door to door
It goes directly from your front door to the car entrance at the airport terminal. This minimizes the walking distance and waiting time, allowing you to move around more leisurely.
The "real" side of child seats
I often get asked, "Is it okay to take a taxi without a child seat?" This is a common misunderstanding, so let me clarify the facts.
Taxis are exempt from the legal requirement to be insured.
The Road Traffic Enforcement Order (Article 26-3-2) excludes the obligation to use a child seat for infants under 6 years old who are traveling in vehicles such as buses and taxis for the transportation of passengers. In other words, it is not mandatory for taxis. On the other hand, if you are traveling with a child under 6 years old in a private car or a rental car, using a child seat is mandatory. Choosing to drive yourself to the airport requires bringing and installing a child seat. The option of driving yourself is subject to bringing and installing a child seat.
Not having a duty does not mean that it is unnecessary.
The question of whether there is a duty or not and safety are separate issues. That is why it is important to ensure safety.Chartered taxis that can be equipped with child seats on requestThis is a reassuring choice for families with young children. JAF sets the minimum height requirement for using assistive devices at approximately 150 cm, and the minimum height for a seat belt to fit the body is considered to be 140 cm or higher. It’s important to consider not just age but also stature.
We also need to consider future developments.
It is reported that in November 2026, the Police Agency will establish an expert panel to discuss expanding the recommendation for the use of short-height elementary school students (under 13 years old). The current requirement remains for children under 6 years old, but the idea that having a booster for elementary school students will provide peace of mind seems likely to grow further in the future.
Point:The type, size, and number of seats available will vary depending on the age, body size, and number of children on the day. We cannot make any guarantees.Consultation in advanceLet's fill each one of them one by one.
In cases where the family is oriented in a certain direction, but it is not necessarily necessary
To be honest, for trips where 1-2 adults can move around freely, even a regular taxi might be sufficient. It’s the families like these that the charter jumbo taxis are best suited for.
Suitable for families like this
Multiple children, a stroller, grandparents with them, early morning flights, late-night arrivals, and lots of suitcases—this is a three-generation airport trip where no matter what you do, you’ll end up running into difficulties.
It's a simple arrangement where everyone pays individually.
When you divide the cost of renting a car by the number of people, the burden per person decreases significantly. When you can share the hassle of changing modes of transportation and the fatigue of being stuck in traffic, you can let everyone share the burden and get on with it.
If you feel that a single car might be more convenient for your family situation, then that’s exactly when a charter might come in handy.
