babies in taxi's

[letsgetbusy]

Please can anyone inform me of the law regarding a baby seat in a taxi or private hire firm. If I am out with my grandaughter and I urgently need to get home, can I travel ina taxi if it does not have a baby seat installed?
Many thanks

�Children under three may travel in the back of a taxi without a special seat or cushion
