melv Posted October 5, 2015 Share Posted October 5, 2015 Am in need of a Heathrow transfer service that provides child seats...anyone have a recommendation? Was recently let down at 5:30am by a local company that promised they would have one (and I called to confirm the night before).Thanks!

Giacomelli Posted October 5, 2015 Share Posted October 5, 2015 I have always used batransfer. They have never let me down re car seats where other taxi companies have. You need to book a slightly bigger car (few quid more expensive). The pick up from ed has always been on time/early (used about 20 times) but they have been late a couple of times on collection from airport...

monniemae Posted October 5, 2015 Share Posted October 5, 2015 We use British airport transfers and never had a problem. Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/77745-know-of-any-taxi-companies-with-child-seats/#findComment-910085 Share on other sites More sharing options...
liytgdh Posted October 5, 2015 Share Posted October 5, 2015 Agree BA transfer always have cars available with seats, but just beware both times we have used them with seats the driver has not fitted them correctly.

monniemae Posted October 6, 2015 Share Posted October 6, 2015 Ah that's frustrating. Maybe google once you know the seat type on offer? The ones we've been provided with coincidentally matched what we have at home.

henryb Posted October 6, 2015 Share Posted October 6, 2015 Taxi and Hire Cars are actually exempt from the car seat law so you don't need to have one by law. I guess it is up to your own risk assessment of the situation. https://www.gov.uk/child-car-seats-the-rules/when-a-child-can-travel-without-a-car-seat Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/77745-know-of-any-taxi-companies-with-child-seats/#findComment-910531 Share on other sites More sharing options...
antantant Posted October 6, 2015 Share Posted October 6, 2015 I always use Rye Cars in Peckham. They have provided both infant and child seats.http://www.ryecars.com/ Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/77745-know-of-any-taxi-companies-with-child-seats/#findComment-910548 Share on other sites More sharing options...
melv Posted October 9, 2015 Author Share Posted October 9, 2015 Thanks for the recommendations...I used batransfer and they had the seat (correctly installed) and I will definitely use them again.
