Thanks for your quick replies, girls!

Lulu, that's a good idea. might do that. I'll need the H-harness anyway when DD is bigger for her MaxiRider. And a booster cushion is always handy to have for grandma and grandpa's car.

MrsT and Missymoo, I guess that's what I was wondering, what the legal situation is. I remembered reading ages ago about taxis being exempt. But I couldn't find that info anywhere. all i could find on the RTA site is that you should request a taxi with a seat.

Jennjorja, I am usually quite good at getting what I want, too. But I do remember when we lived in Cronulla and had to get to the airport to travel to Europe. We had ordered a taxi (T George I think) to get to the airport. We did that 3 dayss before to make sure we won't have to wait too long. About 20 minutes aftter it was supposed to be there, I called the company and they said: w?ll, we're too busy, you'll get the next available one. Apparently, pre-ordered taxis do not have priority. We ended up hailing one down as ours still wasn't there, 45 minutes (!!!) after it was supposed to be. So, naturally, I don't have much trust in taxis... But this time we're staying in the city. So I guess we should have more options...
