Gatwick to Central London
with Free Child Seats
Travelling Gatwick to Central London with little ones? Free, correctly-fitted infant and child seats on every journey.
Can I get a Gatwick to Central London transfer with a baby or child seat, and is it free?
Yes — Airport Only provides free infant, child and booster car seats on every Gatwick 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 — installed by your DBS-checked driver. Just request the infant or child seat when booking so it's ready before you set off.
Gatwick to Central London transfers, sized for the family
Gatwick is a major family-holiday gateway, and the train into London means stairs, a change and wrestling cases while keeping an eye on the kids. A pre-booked Gatwick to central London transfer with the correct infant or child seat already fitted skips all of that.
Your driver meets you inside Gatwick arrivals with a name board, the baby or booster seat installed, and takes you door-to-door to your London hotel in around 60–80 minutes. We track your flight for free, so a delay just means the driver waits.
From a rear-facing infant carrier for a newborn to a high-back booster for an older child, the right UK-approved seat is ready and waiting — completely free, with a fixed price and no surge.
Free seats, all ages
Infant carriers, child seats and boosters — 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.
Which infant or child seat do you need?
UK child seats are grouped by weight and height (not age). Tell us your child's details when booking and we'll fit the right baby, child or booster seat free of charge.
| Seat type | Standard / Group | Weight | Approx. age | Type |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Infant carrier | i-Size (R129) / Group 0+ | 0–13 kg | Birth – ~15 months | Rear-facing |
| Child seat | Group 1 | 9–18 kg | ~9 months – 4 years | Forward-facing, 5-point harness |
| High-back booster | Group 2 | 15–25 kg | ~4 – 6 years | Booster with back support |
| Booster | Group 3 | 22–36 kg | ~6 – 12 years | Booster cushion + adult belt |
Infant seats are rear-facing until at least 15 months under the i-Size (R129) standard. All seats meet UK safety standards (R129 i-Size or ECE R44).
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.
How we help
We fit the correct, UK-approved infant or child seat free — just tell us your child's age and weight when you book.
