If you are planning to catch a taxi and you have children with you - what do you do? Do you know what the law is regarding child restraints in taxis? In the states and territories of Australia, the laws on child restraints in taxis are predominantly the same as the laws for child restraints in all other vehicles. As a national initiative most states have recently updated their legislation to bring private and taxi vehicle laws into alignment in this respect, and also to bring alignment nationally.
