Why to ask for child car seats in taxis?

Parents ask for baby car seats in taxis mainly for safety, comfort, and peace of mind when travelling with young children.

Parents often feel more relaxed knowing their child is travelling in the correct seat rather than sitting on an adult lap or using standard seat belt.
