Calling Londoners - crossing London in taxi with 14 month old

[vicdubya]

OK I am a bit ignorant when it comes to London black cabs. I need to get from one station to another with 14 month old, can I take him in a black cab..? Do they have child restraints?

If not, is there any other way to get from a to b?

I am not going on the bus or tube, too much hassle, it's just a one off journey.

Oh thanks everyone, maybe I will attempt it after all!

Ds just has an umbrella fold buggy with a brake, so that would be OK, and if it's a new taxi I could see if he will fit in the child seat. he's quite big.

I was thinking about the rucksack option, as still have to get down the platform, etc.

Shouldn;t have to take much as going to dh' flat instead of him coming back for the weekend, (he's on relocation) and he can take a load of stuff on ahead this weekend.

I need to go to sort out new house we are buying, but I just can't face the drive, it's horrible. I hate driving long distances on my own. I did it a few weeks ago and thought maybe I'd try the train instead this time.

In fact thinking about it dh could take pretty much everything couldn;t he! Duh!

Sorry addled mind today, we've been up since 5.30 for some reason.

baby in buggy is easy, but you might have to put your foot on the buggy for extra immobilising as well as the brakes!

you'll be fine
