Hi all
Ok, sorry if this is a really stupid question, but I'd appreciate some help!
We don't have a car so have no requirement for a car seat (live in inner London so walk/use public transport). However, we will be visiting relatives when dd1 is around 6 weeks and ideally they will collect us from the airport and drive us the short (15 mins) distance to their house.
I've checked the government website, and it says a car seat must be used uness it's a licensed mini cab that doesn't have one.
So if I understand it correctly, I could get a mini cab and sit in the back holding the baby or with it in a sling, but if a relative comes to collect us in their car (which is no different to a mini cab) then we need a car seat fitted?
That doesn't seem to make sense?
I understand of course that using a car seat is safer, but I just want to check if I've understood this correctly, as it doesn't seem to make much sense...
