But riding a taxi would be safer from traveling through bus.

For business travel it can be thought as the best option. As business travels are on the company’s money so car service is the best option to use during a business travel.

I know it’s inconvenient but what is you child’s safety worth to you?

I went to a baby safety class before my son was born to learn CPR and was told that holding your baby while in a car is a big no-no. Though I knew this, I had not thought of the consequences in detail. There is something that the people in the ER call “taxi-face.” While accidents in taxis are not frequent in NYC, they happen. And you can imagine what happens to your face if you hit that plexiglass barrier in front of you: taxi face. Now imagine your child being thrown into it. If there is an accident, you will be unable to hold your child and the consequences could be fatal. Yes, fatal. This is actually a very serious issue.
Probably the best option if you have to run and are late would be a carrier on your body and the seat belt, even if this is still a big risk and the instructor of my safety classes is against it. I have many many friends who function this way in NYC. But clearly, the safest alternative is to take a car seat that fixes onto a stroller base. You would just pop the stroller base in the trunk, and having the stroller when you get to where you are going is nice too.
The orbit, which I didn’t end up buying myself, has a toddler car seat that fixes onto the wheels. It was the only one to offer this when I was researching these things last year.

Use the car seat in the cab (and throw the base in the trunk) then snap it on to the base to use as a carriage when you get to your destination. It only works up to a certain weight (I forget which), but it is what I’ve been using for a year on my frequent cab/car service trips with my daughter.

We decided to stick with the Snugride 32, hope it gets us to the end of the year and see if anything improved comes out. If not, we will buy the Orbit toddler system.

Will be interesting to hear any comments…
