Transfer from IAD to DC with Infant

Hi Everyone,

My wife and I are travelling from Australia to DC in late Jan with our 5 month old baby in tow. We are flying into IAD on Sunday afternoon and need to get all three of us downtown to the Holiday Inn Washington Central.

We'd probably prefer not to rent a car so we are looking at other transfer options.

A few questions:
+ Is it possible to get a cab or car pickup service that has an infants seat? Recommendations from anyone - ideally that i can book via email/ web as phone is a bit tricky from this side of the world.
+ Any good bus, train, other options that people might recommend?

Not sure what the law is over there but cabs can't take babies over here unless they have a child seat - and you basically need to book one.

Oh, and any local knowledge on what to do in 3 or 4 days in DC most welcome. I'm a space nerd so i've got the Smithsonian on my list and a few of the obvious political sights but any other tips welcome.

thanks!
