Heathrow to Central London
with Free Baby Seats
Travelling Heathrow to Central London with little ones? Free, correctly-fitted infant and child seats on every journey.
Can I get a Heathrow to Central London transfer with a baby or child seat, and is it free?
Yes β BA Transfer provides free infant, child and booster car seats on every Heathrow to Central London transfer, for newborns up to age 12. UK law exempts licensed taxis and private hire vehicles from the child-seat requirement, but we fit the correct, UK-approved baby seat anyway β installed by your DBS-checked driver. Just request the infant or child seat when booking so it's ready before you set off.
Heathrow to Central London transfers, sized for the family
For families landing at Heathrow, the run into central London is the first real test of the holiday β small Tube carriages with no luggage racks, station changes with a buggy, and no guarantee a kerbside cab will carry an infant seat. A pre-booked transfer with the right child seat fitted takes all of that off your plate.
Your driver meets you inside Heathrow arrivals with a name board, the baby or booster seat already installed, and takes you door-to-door to your London hotel or address in about 45β60 minutes. Flights are tracked for free, so a delay simply means the driver waits.
From a rear-facing infant carrier for a newborn to a high-back booster for an older child, the correct UK-approved seat is fitted and ready β completely free, with the price fixed at booking and no surge.
Free seats, all ages
Infant carriers, child seats and boosters β never an extra charge.
DBS-checked drivers
Trained to fit the seat correctly; you check the harness.
Cleaned every trip
Infant and child seats sanitised after each journey.

UK law: child seats in taxis
The general rule
Children must normally use a child car seat until they are 12 years old or 135 cm tall, whichever comes first.
The taxi exemption
Licensed taxis and private hire vehicles are exempt. Without a seat, a child may travel only on a rear seat: ages 3+ wear an adult belt; under-3s unrestrained in the rear.
