Toddler without child seat in taxi?




Fred


Is it legal to ride a taxi with a 18 months toddler without child seat? If not, how can we go from airports to hotels with a toddler? Is it the same laws in US and Canada?


Answer
there are travel car seats you can buy. I have a portable car seat alternative thing that a friend gave me. It is a backboard with a 5 point harness on it. it gets belted in the car just like a car seat would be.

Traveling to Mexico. A car seat question?




HIDY


We are plannig a vacation in Mexico with our 2 year old. We will take a taxi from the airport to the resort where we are staying. What should we do about the car seat (we don't want to bring it with us). Does anybody have experiance with that? Can you request a taxi with a car seat in Mexico?


Answer
We have made several trips to Cabo San Lucas with our toddler. The first trips we brought the car seat (it made a difference to her comfort level on the plane) - only to find the taxi we rode in from the airport did not have working seat-belts! You will not find a taxi with a car seat. If you do not bring one, my best advice is to relax, try to belt your child in as best as possible - and hold on. I would recommend buying/borrowing a car seat/stroller combo - it's great to have at the airport as a stroller, and you can use it as a car seat as well (yep, they are pricey but consider it part of the cost of your vacation). Try e-bay. Good luck and have fun!
