Road design, safety and Vision Zero

Taxi's do, certainly a minivan, but while it might be legal, I'm not comfortable having a taxi driver drive my toddler up the 401 with no car seat.

As an aside, last time I took a taxi from the airport....before the UP...the driver started operating all their electronic equipment in the middle of the 427....and while I would have liked to have gotten out of the vehicle immediately I figured a distracted driver was better than standing in the middle of a 12 lane expressway. I did not tip.

I see that taxi drivers are exempt from the car-seat law, though at least Aeroport Taxi does provide them. The whole car seat thing makes cars more complicated, though maybe cars should be complicated in general. It sort of is unfortunate in that it makes non-owned cars in particular more complicated.

Agreed on all points. And yeah I do know it’s legal and we’ve done it for short trips but I didn’t want to risk it for 90 minutes on the 401.

It definitely does complicate things. We had this issue arriving in NL. Tessa’s coworkers drove us. There was a booster seat for Carrie but I haven’t the slightest idea if it met local regulations for a 2 year old.
