a dispute with sister about car seats, taxis and children

[joko]

my sis wants me to cancel something in order to give her a lift somewhere...i have told her to get a taxi as its not far.
she says she cant because according to her you are not allowed to use a car seat in a taxi!!
she said its because they dont want the responsibity - i said well better than having an unretsrained child in the back surey - she then said shed put the baby in her own belt on her knee - thats the way they say it has to be...
firstly i dont believe they wont allow seats - i have seen them myself...but has anyone else experienced this?
also she says she was told that they prefer them to have the child on the knee with the belt over both - surely this is ridiculous - that is unbelievably dangerous! even with a fairly gentle emergency stop the child would be crushed with the weight of the mother!!

are there any laws,rules etc regarding this issue? (also in B&S)
thanks

avoid.

i do not need to explain myself to you but if you really want to know i felt it necessary as the post asks 2 questions - the law on the issue, and parents experiences on the issue hence the use of the law section and the use of the b&s section - where i assumed there would be more parent

kindly mind your own business
