London Taxi companies with child car seats?

[issywoo]

we're going on holiday with another couple in the summer and need to get to heathrow for about 9am. there will be 4 adults and 2 toddlers so we can't all fit in one car. does anyone one know of a taxi firm that has people carriers and child car seats?

issywoo, how far is your journey? the last time we travelled in a black cab - one of the new models - it had a fold-down seat especially for toddlers. dd was well-chuffed!

See if they have Ford Galaxys. Got one from Stansted last year and they have built in car seats.

I think Addison Lee do car seats. They definitely have people carriers. But they are not cheap. But then again, they are probably cheaper than a black cab.

bundle, our journey should be no more than 40 mins (from swiss cottage to heathrow) but its a tuesday morning at rush hour so we think we'll have to allow extra time (our flight is at 11am)
i'll try addison lee, as there's not enough room for all of us in a blk cab. the ford galaxy sounds interesting - just need to find out who has them

Is it worth discussing the problem with your local cab company? I know someone who gets a local cab to the airport using their own child car seats. The cab company look after the car seat while they are away and send the same driver with the car seats to collect them.
