I use Melbourne Maxi Ride for all our baby's specialist appointments. The driver is always on time and the capsule gives us total peace of mind. Wouldn't use anyone else.

Had an unplanned late-night dash to the hospital with our 3-month-old. Melbourne Maxi Ride had a capsule taxi to us in under 15 minutes. Cannot recommend enough.

Took our twins to a family lunch across town. The driver fitted both capsules perfectly and was so patient with us. Brilliant service, highly recommend to all new parents.
