| I need to get from NW DC to BWI with my 12 month old DD. We will have a carseat waiting for us at our destination, so I don't want to travel with one. Anyone know of a taxi company that has carseats available? Or any other options for getting to BWI? Thanks! |

| No, but once I took a car service and wouldn't need the car seat after I reached the airport and I asked the driver (we use him all the time, btw) if I could keep the car seat in his van. He let us do that and when he picked us up the car seat was still in the back of the van. |

The Airport Shuttle offers this as an option on their online reservations. (http://theairportshuttle.hudsonltd.net/res)
Hope you enjoy your trip! |

| Has anyone used the Airport Shuttle before? How was it? |

| A bit expensive, but Sunnys Sedan Service in DC has them. |

| You can ask for a taxi with one at Red Top--not all drivers have them but I got one that did...charged me nothing extra. |

| Not sure if you want a car seat, or think you must have one. I read on this site that no car seat is required in taxis. Could somone confirm? Is this true in DC, MD and VA? |

| Taxi's are exempt in VA..I didn't plan to have to go without a seat but our limo company didn't show up and we had little other choice. |

| Uh, it's the laws of physics, not the laws of Virginia, that determine the need for a car seat. |

| Uh, thanks for your insight. |

| Why wouldn't you just bring your own? I mean, you're going to need it where you land, right? |

| Roadmaster Transportation in Kensington has car seats available. I've used them for over a decade. |

| I have taken the Green line to the end of the line and then the airport shuttle bus from the Metro to BWI. It is actually pretty easy if you don't have a lot of luggage. We always rent a car and get a car seat at the rental place so we will not have to travel with car seat. |
