London Cab

[brightredmtn]

I worked on a film last week and they used a London Cab in it. That thing was seriously awesome. Here are a few pics of the highlights:

Integrated booster. Here is DS in it at 3 years 10 months.

ISOFIX anchors way out and easy to use.

The thing seats seven! Here is the cabbie sitting in one of the rear facing jump seats that folds down from the back of the two front seats :thumbsup:.

Other highlights include a wheelchair ramp that comes standard on all models and some kind of integrated something or other for the hearing impaired.

If only these things were made for regular consumers. It would be a great minivan, gas saving alternative for a family.

Here's a link to what they look like on the outside.

It looks like an ever so slightly larger PT Cruiser.

Very interesting.

What kind of seatbelt was used on those fold-down seats? It looks like there might be some buckle down by the floor, but maybe that is for something else.

It was a three point belt. I think it came all the way from the ground and there wasn't a button on the belt to keep the buckle from sliding all the way down. It was definitely a three point though. Possibly that buckle was for a wheel chair? The shot with the cab was over and the cabbie was nice enough to let me snap a few quick shots before he left. I tried not to take too long but I could have spent much longer checking everything out!

The integrated booster looks nice, but I'm really concerned about the total lack of head support for the RF jumps seats!
