[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The safest way to travel in a black cab with kid if you don't have a car seat is to have them in the stroller and put the brake on. It's just like being on a bus.
Also consider getting something like a [b]Trunki Boosterpak.[/b]
I also don't recommend staying in Paddington - yes convenient for the Heathrow express but not for anything else. Highbury, Clerkenwell etc are trendier but not great for kids. I'd stay around primrose hill, Regent's Park - then your base is a great park and playgrounds (and the zoo, though it's expensive) as well as nice neighbourhood coffee shops, restaurants, etc, and you can take the tube anywhere.

This looks like a great idea, but unfortunately DS is only going to be 3 and not yet 40 lbs. Still not sure what we'll do if we need to drive somewhere or ride in a car. I'm definitely not comfortable just putting him in the stroller in the taxi, because it's definitely not like being in a bus if you're in an accident. The bus is large and can disperse the energy from an accident much better than a small car could. We may just have to make sure we don't have to take a taxi at any point! DH will have a car for part of his trip, but will probably ditch it while in London. Thanks for the other recommendations.[/quote]
