6. Although the use of a child seat is not legally required in every taxi situation, Quick Taxi Amsterdam recommends using a suitable and approved child seat for young children whenever possible.

Article 14 – Delays and Force Majeure

1. The carrier will make reasonable efforts to meet the agreed pick-up time.
