 If you are a ranker, it's not nice or legal to be a wanker.

I hate picking up at Maternity hospitals when people are coming home with their new baby It always makes me nervous driving somebodies precious cargo as we dont have restrains for those bady carriers and mammy or daddy hold the thing on their lap and any sudden stop could hurt the baby .Just never feel comfortable doing it and would probably drive by somebody carrying a baby in one of those baby carriers .

Most hostibles won’t allow new parents leave with a child without being in a car seat, and that’s in about 10 years now

Think your wrong there Vick it has fuckall todo with the hospital how you transport your child .The only thing they do is the nurse usually carries the baby for you to the front door probably something to do with insurance .

Ya think Limerick taxi drivers are bad .I read in a book with many pages about some  pregnant bird looking for accomodation in Bethlehem and nobody would rent her a room had her kid in a horsebox or something ,didnt stop the kid becoming famous though.

She had sufficient mobility to travel to Limerick and walk around shops, etc... so what was the problem with walking a few yards to the hotel? ... and what was her husband thinking, letting her out in that condition...

From experience with my two from the Coombe they wouldn't let us transport our chisslers unless we had a car seat....in fact the nurse actually strapped them in...so i'll go with Vik on this one.

Here is an interesting bit of info ...Leaving hospital with your new baby is one of the most exciting and scary parts of the whole pregnancy, birth and baby journey. You and your partner will remember your first night at home with your baby forever. If you are taking your baby home by car or taxi you must have an appropriate car seat. It is very dangerous and also illegal to travel without a properly fitted car seat.

Now read carefully it clearly states Taxi so if we pick up kids must we have car seats fitted ?

That's the hospital policy John...if you read the NTA taxi regs with regard to the transport of children...it's the parents responsibility,we're not responsible for providing baby car seats,booster chairs....that we might use,bad enough carrying around a safety kit that i'll never use!!

I agree....but in the event of an accident i guarantee you the parents won't be held responsible....it'll be the one with the insurance.

As Vicci said the hospitals bring the kid to the car so in the event of an accident the amount of Barrasters shifting blame would be great to watch .We are exempt from SUPPLYING car seats but are we allowed transport ferrel kids not in a seat .

Jaysus, you're a cynical auld soul  lol

(2012)  https://www.irishtimes.com/news/exemption-for-taxis-over-child-seats-to-stay-despite-penalty-point-offence-1.530033 (https://www.irishtimes.com/news/exemption-for-taxis-over-child-seats-to-stay-despite-penalty-point-offence-1.530033)

The regulations for taxi drivers stipulate that an infant who is under three years of age can be carried on a back seat by an adult as long as that adult is wearing a seatbelt, usually around the child.

A child more than three years of age does not need to be in a car seat if travelling in a taxi, but they must wear a seatbelt and not be in the passenger seat.

Siptu taxi branch organiser Gerry Brennan said the new legislation appeared to have been “quite grey” but he was pleased that the issue had been clarified.

Mr Brennan said taxis were exempt because it was not practical for them to bring bulky car seats which would make it much more difficult to carry other luggage.

Seat belt around the child is very dangerous.

Seat belt around the child is very dangerous.

They might not fly through the windscreen....but i'd say the choking or broken neck might kill them!!

I never said the hostibles bring the baby to the car, you did. I said that they won’t let you leave the hospital if the child isn’t in a car seat.

Oh and I carried all 3 of my kids from the ward to the car. Maybe you need to start working different hospitals

The average woman gets horny 6 times a day or more. If we were to believe the  hype, men are walking around with permanent  horns when the reverse is true. Just invite the next door neighbourette in for a cuppa when your mrs has popped out for 5 and watch her hackles rise when she gets back.

Bubba, they won't listen..........I've always said the most horny cunt I ever met was a fat, sweaty bitch on Morehampton Rd...the fact I was there as a spectator was neither here not there........she assumed all responsibility for the collective hair-knots and offered 3 of us coffee....

Usually punters with a baby have a baby seat, often part of the pram. I guess all cars are ISOfix compliant these days?
