What are the local laws for car seats for infants and children?
We are moving to Santo Domingo in a few weeks and will be using taxis for transportation with my 8 month old, I'm wondering how I am going to carry a car seat everywhere I go!?!

I always tell my wife that I don't care what the law is, my child is going on a cart seat no matter what.

From cdc.gov....

Child safety seats reduce the risk of death in passenger cars by 71% for infants, and by 54% for toddlers ages 1 to 4 years.

If there is a law it's not enforced, but baby and child car seats and booster seats are available in the DR and some people even use them!

I've never seen a city taxi offer the option but it may be possible in tourist areas.
