We use the term “Infant Seat” for the cradle-like seats that infants are strapped into. They are usually secured using a 3-point seat belt.
We use the term “Booster Seat” for the backless cushions that raise a child’s body to a height suitable for using 3-point seat belts, so that the shoulder strap does not run across the child’s neck.
Nearly all the vehicles we use have 3-point seat belts. However, we cannot guarantee this and they may only have 2-point lap belts, that only go across the waist and are unsuitable for Infant Seats.
CHILDREN AGED 2- 11 YEARS OLD
Children of this age must occupy a seat. If your child uses a Booster Seat at home, you need to bring this with you as we cannot provide them.
For all our routes out of Grenoble and Lyon Airports we give children under 12 at the time of travel a 10% discount. Just select a child when you book with us and the discount will be applied automatically. Ben’s Bus reserves the right to check the age of any passengers from their passport before boarding our services.
INFANTS UNDER 2 YEARS OLD
Infants under 2 years old may legally sit on the parents knee and so can travel for free. However, you should check the expected transfer time of your journey (by selecting your resort from our Ski Resorts page) to ensure you and your infant will be comfortable. For safety reasons, you will not be able to sit on the front 4 seats, the middle seat at the back or the seats in front of the emergency exits. If you wish to carry your infant on your knee, you must email ku.oc.subsneb@ofni with the following information as we need an accurate list of all passengers:
– Your booking reference number
– The infants’ name and age
Regrettably we cannot provide Infant Seats and we cannot allow you to bring your own. This is because we cannot guarantee that they will fit securely into our seats. If you wish for your infant to travel in an Infant Seat, we would recommend booking a hire car or private transfer.
It is very important that you read this page before making any booking so you understand our policy for carrying children, which differs depending on which airport you are flying into and which ski resort you are heading to. Our bus services comply with the relevant international / national transport laws. Some of our journeys are longer than others and some cross international borders, whilst others do not.
