Rear-Facing from Day One
Babies up to 6 months must use a rear-facing child restraint - in a private car, a taxi or a booked hire vehicle. Tell us your baby's age when booking and a suitable rear-facing restraint is arranged for the trip home.
What Parents Should Prepare
- Baby's age (days or weeks) - so a rear-facing restraint is arranged
- Number of adults travelling home with baby
- Hospital bags, baby bag and any flowers or gifts
- Pram or travel system, if you're bringing one
- Any other children travelling - with their ages and sizes
- Your home address and a mobile number for the day
