Do not count on a car seat in a regular taxi. If a child seat matters to you, book a private transfer and request the seat type (infant, convertible, booster) at booking, stating your child's age and weight.
Practical family tips
- AREX Express is non-stop to Seoul Station and works for families with manageable luggage; the adult fare is KRW 13,000 and child fares are lower.
- Airport limousine buses run direct to major districts, and families of three or more with a child can get one free fare on all routes (Seoul Metropolitan Government). Tickets are sold at the booths in the terminals.
- Private van transfers are the most convenient option for many families: the driver meets you, car seats can be requested at booking, there is room for strollers and bags, and you go directly to your hotel, if meet-and-greet is included in your booking.
- Limousine bus rides to central Seoul take about 60-80 minutes, so pack snacks.

When a private transfer from ICN is the right choice
- Travelling with small children: child seats are requested at booking for the exact ages, so you are not relying on a taxi that may have none.
- Strollers, cots and luggage: a minivan takes everything in one go, door to door, with no stairs or platform changes.
- Three or more people: a 4-seat car to Seoul City Center is from €94, about €24 per person, usually level with or below separate public-transport tickets once you count the walk, the wait and the last mile with bags.
