So dd is almost too big for infant carseat - how do NY families get around the city if, say, you take the subway somewhere in a stroller, but want to take a taxi home? Assuming you're not lugging around a car seat. [ Reply | Watch | Flag ]

I avoid taxis (except in rare instances) until dc is old enough for a booster. It's not very practical but I can't see lugging around a carseat or sit-n-stroll. We do take the bus. [ Reply | More

the bus is a lot easier than the subway with young DCs, and a lot easier to get cross-town on a bus anyway. [ Reply | More

You can try a sit-n-stroll, but they're pretty lousy as strollers and bulky for the subway or bus. [ Reply | More

Honestly, I limited taxi use as much as possible until DS was closer to 2yo and we took busses and subways as often as possible. But I WAS willing to put DS in a taxi without a car seat. My only rule, is no highway. So essentally, if we had to leave Manhattan in a taxi, we would bring the car seat - but that was pretty rare. [ Reply | More
