Traveling with young children requires extra preparation, especially when arranging safe and comfortable airport transfers. Here’s everything you need to know about child seat options when booking your London airport taxi.
UK Law on Child Seats in Private Hire Vehicles
By law, children must travel in an appropriate child restraint unless the correct seat is not available in a licensed taxi or private hire vehicle. However, reputable providers like RA Cars Ltd offer advance child seat bookings to ensure your child’s safety and comfort.
Whether you’re arriving at Heathrow Airport or departing from Gatwick Airport, we accommodate families with children of all ages.
Types of Child Seats Available
At RA Cars Ltd, we provide the following child seat options:
- Rear-facing infant seats (newborn to 12 months)
- Forward-facing toddler seats (1 to 4 years)
- High-back booster seats (4 to 12 years)
When booking, simply provide the age and weight of your child to ensure the correct seat is installed in your assigned vehicle.
Advance Booking Required for Child Seats
To guarantee availability and proper installation, always request child seats at the time of booking. We prioritize families arriving with young children at busy hubs like London City Airport or Luton Airport.
