We go away in June. Me, DH, DS(will then be 20m), DF and DM.

I am totally stuck on getting to/from the airport.

Easiest option - Train £80 return for us all. Fine. But coming home, we land at 00.50 and the first train back is at approx. 04.22. Bollocks. So thats 3 hours from landing time to getting the train. Say 1 hour to collect luggage, still leaves us stuck in a cold train station at that time of night with DS.

We have an estate car but we cannot all fit in with the luggage etc. Plus, DH doesnt really fancy being knackered and having to drive home.

So, taxi. Probably the same cost-ish as the trains but no child seat for DS?

Any suggestions? I can't see any way other than the train :(

Surely your DS needs a car seat on holiday? Flights all allow a car seat for children up to 11 (or thereabouts) it doesn't take up any weight allowance although I'd recommend using a decent bag for it.
Use in a taxi. Put in bag, check it in as overside baggage. Use on holiday and then use for the taxi journey on the way home. You can book a larger taxi if you need more seats

Greenhead Cars are in Huddersfield and do airport transfers. I use them whenever we fly. They are very reliable and will either provide a car seat or store yours. I have tried others in the area but they are not as reliable
