Flying with a baby is a feat of logistics, and it starts long before the gate. The car seat, the pram, the nappy bag, the feeds, and a small passenger with no interest in your schedule. A good transfer takes the travel off your plate so you can focus on the baby. Here is how to make the airport run calm.
- Tell us your baby's age when you book so the right rear-facing seat is fitted in advance.
- Door-to-door collection means no car park, no shuttle, and no carrying a baby and bags across a terminal.
- A larger vehicle gives room for the pram, the car seat and the extra bags a baby requires.
Can you fit a suitable baby car seat?
Yes. We can fit an appropriate rear-facing infant seat on request, just tell us your baby's age when you book so the right seat is ready and correctly installed before we arrive. It saves you fitting your own seat in the dark before a dawn flight, one less thing on a complicated morning.
How do you fit the pram and all the bags?
Travelling with a baby means a pram, a car seat, a case and a generously stuffed changing bag, which usually points to an estate or MPV. We will recommend the right vehicle for your group so nothing is left behind, see our note on luggage in a taxi.
How do you keep the timing relaxed?
Door-to-door is the whole point: no car park, no shuttle bus, no carrying a baby and bags across a terminal. We plan the pickup around your flight with a little extra slack, because babies set their own timetable, and for an early departure our 24-hour service gets you ahead of the queues.
What helps most on the day?
A patient driver who allows a few unhurried minutes to load the seat and settle the baby, a clean comfortable car, and a sensible departure time. Keep feeds and essentials in your hand luggage, and let the driver handle the route while you handle the small person, which is plenty to be getting on with.
