Very interesting to read this post and they could be right as I noted the following,


In a licensed taxi or licensed hire car, if a child restraint is not available then the child may travel unrestrained in the rear. This is the only exception for children under 3, and has been introduced for practical rather than safety reasons. You should always think about ways to make sure that a child seat is available.


Sourced from this website: http://www.childcarseats.org.uk/law/


You could always contact ROSPA for confirmation of this rule.


Good luck!

Yes, I looked into this too. It is indeed true.


There have been a couple of situations where we took a taxi with Little Saff just belted into the middle back seat as best we could. Little Saff is very tall for a toddler, so it was ok. Not ideal, but it was alright for a short low-speed journey. (Not in a hurry to get caught in this situation again though!)

My backup plan is calling an ambulance, I have considered walking to hospital (if I go to hospital that is), will definitely speed up the labour process.


Taxis are exempt, which I used to think was silly, until I got stuck in the city with my daughter and only simple way to get home was getting a taxi.

      Oh David / Is David Lammy Toast?

      I was referring more to his performance at PMQs yesterday. It was quite a riot! Almost topped Mastermind

      Agreed, he should not be held accountable over the mess up over release of prisoners. On the other hand he did himself no favours with his gaffes on the BBC Master Mind programme where he passed on five questions. Where he did answer, here are some of his responses.... When asked who succeeded Henry VIII, Lammy incorrectly answered “Henry VII,” When asked which French scientist won Nobel prizes for both physics and chemistry?” Lammy responded with “Antoinette” When asked which fortress was built to defend Paris and later used as a prison, he answered “Versailles". When asked which variety of blue English cheese is often taken with port, he answered "Leicester" If nothing else he was entertaining.

      Why do you think he should be toast? All these problems with the prison service apparently go way back, long before Labour took over.

      Probably by working as a banker for a decade before being an MP, being married to another high earner, and using some of the accommodation allowance that all out-of-town MPs receive. https://www.theipsa.org.uk/news/why-do-mps-need-an-accommodation-budget Tbh mate if someone in her position couldn't work out a mortgage to buy a house in suburban London, they probably shouldn't be Chancellor in the first place...
