Taking a taxi in Argentina with a newborn: is the toddlers seat necessary?
I'll be traveling to Argentina with my wife and with our little girl (3 months old).
When taking a taxi, is it necessary to use my toddlers seat (and then we'll have to take it with us) or can my wife just hold her ?
Best Answer
It's not legally required, but obviously it's safer to use one if you can.
That said, we've found using baby carriers like Baby Bjorn to be a pretty good compromise. They're not as safe as a car seat, but much better than relying on your arms and much more convenient to carry around. They're also a lifesaver at airports when waiting around in immigration lines etc.

Taxis are exempt from needing baby seats. Some (not all) taxis have baby/child seats built in and the driver will explain how to pull them out.
