You’ll see if you read my post that I’m more than happy to give a taxi driver break. But on this occasion not a single taxi driver would give us a break. Not an ideal situation when you have just arrived off a plane with two tired kids. We ended up taking the bus. Never had a problem before or since, so what the hell was going on that day?

Still a bit fuming about the whole affair.

They really are much safer. Some drivers, especially with vans etc, have booster seats so ask the attendant at the airport. finally please give taxi drivers a break, there are 2700 of the old gits and 10000 new drivers and most of us are trying to make a business out of it by doing things the right way. I know I am.

The link confirms it. I’ve been to and from the airport on numerous occasions with my children and we alway take cabs. This was the first time we’ve been refused. I put it down to a bunch of grumpy old gits who had the hump about the new fare structures.

It is stated clearly on http://www.rsa.ie/childsafetyincars/procontent/KNOW_THE_NEW_LAW/KNOW_THE_NEW_LAW/Navigation.html
that taxis/hackney/limos do not need to have booster seats.

Taxi drivers continuing on their long journey to endear themselves to every single person in the country.

Long term parking is cheap enough.

So annoying because the blinking things are too bulky….

Is there not an opportunity therefore at Dublin Airport for someone to sell the booster seats (nice Graco ones? or cheap polystyrene ones?)
