Tabitha Willett Criticizes London Commuters After Saying No One Offered Her a Seat Despite ‘Baby on Board’ Badge

Her Instagram video renewed attention to TfL’s badge intended to signal when pregnant passengers may need seats.

Overview

  • She filmed a crowded carriage and posted the clip with the message “Do better London.”
  • She wrote that an elderly couple next to her were also not offered seats.
  • Responding to online pushback, she said she would have asked for a seat if she had been struggling and recalled needing crutches during her first pregnancy.
  • Transport for London says the free Baby on Board badge is a visual cue designed to reduce awkwardness and encourage people to give up seats on busy services.
  • Reports note she is expecting her second child and is engaged to Harry Hoare, after announcing both on Instagram in recent months.
