    Yes. They are required in ANY moving vehicle.

    California has the strictest car seat laws in the nation.

    It’s NOT my opinion. IT’s the LAW. Google it yourself. I was in the process of giving you some sites.

    In many states, the law singles taxis and buses out saying the law doesn’t apply to them – but I pored over CA law and didn’t see anything like that so good for CA, lol. CA actually seems to have a pretty good car seat law – any child under 6 years or 60lbs MUST be in an age appropriate child restraint. So for a 2 year old, that means a 5 point harness car seat.

    You might mention to your mom, that while state laws vary, the laws of physics are the same everywhere. A 2 year is going to be just as injured in a taxi in CA as in her home state in her regular vehicle. Ask her why the child is in a car seat when she rides in the family car, and ask her why she thinks the danger is any less in a taxi…with a driver she’s never met.
