Car Seats In Cabs In Miami

Good question! I'll be looking for the answer myself.

I don't understand your question. Are you bringing your carseat, or looking for a cab with one?

 

We usually bring our carseat from home which we use along with the Go Go Babyz roller thing. Works wonderfully in airports and on planes.

 

Some cabs have carseats, some do not. And of course even if they do, it may not be the correct size for your child. This is why we've resorted to always bringing our own.

 

Twice we've travelled without a seat:

The first time we tried to flag a cab at the airport, but they didn't have a carseat. However there was a line of a zillion cabs, so that guy flagged another one which did have a seat.

Total wait time, about 2 minutes.

 

The other time also at an airport we tried to flag a cab but again none had carseats. So we called a posted number and told them what we needed, a cab arrived within 10 minutes. No big deal.

You are better off bringing your own seat and tipping the driver a few extra bucks for the time involved installing and uninstalling the seat; I would not trust a cab to have a seat that is the correct size/type.

 

You might be better off posting your question on the "Family Cruising" board -- lots of car seat threads over there.
