How to book a Mauritius airport transfer with baby seat online
Book a Mauritius airport transfer with baby seat online in three steps — visit the Barefoot Transfers contact page or message directly on WhatsApp at +230 54 92 8500, share your flight details and your baby's age and weight, and receive confirmation with your driver's details within hours.
Why you need to book online in advance — not on arrival
This is the mistake families make most often in Mauritius.
Standard airport taxis do not carry baby seats. There is no desk at SSR International Airport where you can request one on the day. If you land expecting to sort it out at the kerb, you will find yourself with no good options — hot, jetlagged, with a baby, and no safe way to get to your hotel.
Booking online in advance takes five minutes and eliminates that problem entirely. Your seat is confirmed, your driver is tracked to your flight, and everything is ready before you even board your outbound flight.
How to book online — step by step
Step 1 — Contact Barefoot Transfers
Go to the Barefoot Transfers contact page or open WhatsApp and message +230 54 92 8500 directly. WhatsApp is the fastest way to get a confirmed booking — most enquiries are responded to within a few hours.
Step 2 — Share your details
Provide the following:
Full name
Flight number and arrival date and time
Number of passengers
Baby's age in months and approximate weight
Number of additional children and their ages
Your destination — hotel name, villa address, or Airbnb location
Any oversized items — stroller, pram, travel cot
Step 3 — Receive your confirmation
You'll receive a booking confirmation with your driver's name, vehicle details, and contact number. Save this before you travel — it's everything you need on arrival.
Step 4 — Land and go
Clear customs, collect your luggage, and walk into arrivals. Your driver will be waiting with a name board. Your baby's seat is already fitted and ready. No waiting, no negotiating, no stress.
Step 5 — Pay at your destination
Payment is made directly to the driver at the end of the journey. No deposit is required to secure your booking.
What information do you need to book?
The more detail you provide upfront, the smoother your arrival will be. Here's exactly what Barefoot Transfers needs:
Flight number — used for real-time tracking so your driver adjusts if you're delayed
Arrival date and time — even with tracking, always provide your scheduled arrival
Baby's age and weight — determines which seat type is fitted
Destination — so the correct vehicle size and route is confirmed
Number of passengers and luggage — ensures the right vehicle is assigned
If you have twins or multiple children at different stages, provide details for each child individually.
Which baby seat will be fitted?
When you provide your baby's age and weight, Barefoot Transfers will fit the correct seat automatically:
Rear-facing infant seat — birth to approximately 13kg
Forward-facing toddler seat — approximately 9kg to 18kg
Booster seat — approximately 15kg to 36kg
Always use weight as the primary guide — children develop at different rates and weight determines the correct restraint more accurately than age alone. If your child is between categories, the team will advise.
How far in advance should you book?
As early as possible — ideally at the same time you book your flights or accommodation. Barefoot Transfers operates 24/7 and handles a high volume of family bookings, particularly during:
December and January — peak summer season in Mauritius
Easter and October half-term — heavy European family travel periods
French school holidays — Mauritius draws large numbers of French and Réunionnais visitors
During these periods baby seat availability fills up faster than vehicle availability. Booking 48 hours in advance is the minimum — booking a week or more out is better.
Can you book for the return transfer too?
Yes — and it's worth doing at the same time. Book your outbound transfer from SSR airport to your hotel and your return transfer from your hotel back to the airport in a single WhatsApp message. Provide your departure flight number and time for the return leg and both transfers are locked in before you leave home.
What happens if your flight is delayed?
Barefoot Transfers tracks all incoming flights in real time. If your flight is delayed your driver automatically adjusts the pickup time — you don't need to call or message to update them. There are no additional charges for flight delays.
If your flight is significantly disrupted or diverted, send a quick WhatsApp message to keep the team updated.
