I agree with Beck its so much easier to get around in trains & buses depending on where you are planning on going. Taxi's are okay. But you do have to book if you want a car seat & it costs heaps more. It is legal in QLD to hold a baby until they are 2 years on your lap in the back seat of the taxi, and I was okay with that when Matilda was in her sling, but now at this squirmy stage there was no way I was going to do that. When you call to book most taxi co's will encourage you to hold bubs on your lap.
