This is something that i keep wondering about as when my turn comes ill have the same problem.
You will need a car seat anyways for taking baby home from the Hospital, the first group ones (group 0) are easy to take in and out of any car and shou, last up till 6-9 months but im not sure what youd do after then.
u dont actually need a car seat in public transport, but some taxi companies offer them
Well for a bus or train no but when I go places I usually get a taxi from the train station ... (typical places I go). Plus I get a taxi into town - I think theres buses here but one prob with where we are they don't know what pavements are.

Well even still ... I can't push a pram & hold on to a carseat!
When I went on the bus recently I held Alex and sat Ella next to me. It felt really weird not having either of them secured in, especially when the bus braked sharply!! You'd think that taxi drivers would have to have access to a car seat for people travelling with young children/babies wouldn't you?
apparently Taxi's are allowed to have babies in cars without car seats something like they are insured for this, personally, not a risk I would want to take I worry too much, what if! The only exception is going to be on Vicky's wedding day, but thats a one off. I think Taxi's should be able to provide car seats, I was thinknig this the othe rday. Maybe try ringing taxi companies and see if there are any drivers that do ? there might be some thoughtful driver who does! If not then I guess its bus or train or walking! Other than that, a travel system. What pram do you have ? can it be made into a travel system if you want ?
i take the pram on the bus as on the arriva buses they have space for at least 2 prams.
ive never been in a taxi with rhys before hence my confusion but i do know they have to carry bumper seats for children not sure about car seats
if i need to go further i get a friend to drive me or colin does so then i use a car seat. my pram wasnt a travel system so we bought a car seat but have since upgraded to a 0-4yr car seat as rhys' legs are too long for a normal one. we face the 0-4yr one backwards obviously!
