I transported my infant in Chicago cabs with no fuss whatsoever. In fact, we brought him home from the hospital in a cab. The nurse accompanied us to the taxi to make sure he was properly strapped into a safe carseat. You just need an infant-only carseat (the "bucket" sort mentioned earlier)--it straps in easily with the seatbelt. It really is no problem at all.

The baby would now be 6. This was posted in 2007! Advertising, perhaps?

Cabs will not have car seats - but they can reserve a car service car that does have them (but need to be sure for a newborn).

The problem with that is the cost. Any savings on a hotel may be eaten up by car service. I would just get the best hotel deal closest t o where they need to be and bring their own car, car seat and stroller and walk to wherever.
