Just found out to my great annoyance that Addison lee have randomly stopped their babyseat service. This was only suitable for 1yr and up but SO useful( esp annoying as booking a cab for six am tomorrow - gah!).


Does anyone know if there are black cab firms that can be booked? I know some minicab firms round here say they provide carseats but we've been shafted by them in the past, so I think black cab poss best option.


Must say am gutted as I rely on AL loads, grrr.

Clockwork cars (if you google them they're beckenham based but have drivers all over) also no longer do car seats, although they did used to provide the service whereby they would hold on to your own car seat for you and ensure it was used for the return journey - not sure if they still do that, but worth a call to them I think - they are comparable with Addison Lee in terms of quality (and price)
We have been using Linkway Cars based in Honor Oak lately and they do car seats. I think that they are very likely donated seats that the drivers kids are no longer using but they were in good shape and the correct size. We actually were let down by another cab company at 7 a.m. and were lucky that a lovely Linkway driver was driving by and went to the office picked up the seat and took us to Gatwick in time. Will be using them again.

We use www.airportsdirectservices.co.uk and they have been great. They've always turned up with the child seat, on time, helpful drivers and nice cars. I'm not sure what their last minute booking system is like though as we've always booked a few days in advance.

    • The drivers generally have the same set area to cover every day, so they're fairly easy to follow - quite often on bike. They organise their drops to maximise how many they can do within a given time - there's actually software at the depot to do this before they set off - so they tend to follow the same route. Certain addresses are delivery hotspots, some have two or three drops a day from the various couriers. It all adds up doorstep deliveries being incredibly easy to target. I suspect Vladi's neighbour hasn't had their fake parcel nicked, not because of their security, but because the thief simply wouldn't have see the driver stop there, so there's nothing to steal. The losses are factored in, driving prices up for everyone, and the drivers are treated abysmally. It's a dreadful business. It needs regulating.
    • Amazon seem to do this more and more now.  They don't even ring the doorbell, just leave them lying on the door step, then you find out it's been delivered when you check tracking.  The official Amazon vans are frequently followed on their routes by thieves and take the opportunities freely given.   
    • Our local delivery driver was followed and had his van stolen.
