Child car seats



Riding around with or without a child car seat is a sticky choice.

Not county or company will give you any money to buy one, and the last I heard you can't charge for its use.

Other downsides are it takes up space in the trunk, which can be a pain in the butt with an airport run, also after riding in the trunk for a while it doesn't look very clean and people complain.

All this makes carrying a child seat is a bit of a trap, at times I did carry one mostly to cut down on no show's, but sometimes it backfired when I rolled on a child seat call only to find they needed 2 child seat's.
I did have one very positive experience with a child seat, I was forth out at Busch Gardens and a woman came out and asked who is first and then asked if that person had a child seat. He answered no as did the next two she then asked me and I did, the woman and the three kids went to Disney World.

Guy's you can make this easer with a few comments to let us know what you think, you asked for taxi stuff and we are trying.

We would like to hear from you with any taxi story's you would like to share with us at gentom727@gmail.com.

I hate carseat calls but they come in handy in South St. Pete. Almost all calls are a woman with her baby. This is a great way to get out of the call when you don't want their business anyway. Usually it is a Medicaid call who tries to get a call faster and tells the dispatcher it is cash then springs it on the cabbie. If the woman is black, usually 10 years or over, the baby with her needs a seat, and is a Medicaid ride...NO THANK YOU!!! I don't do DISCOUNT government work. BABIES having BABIES...What a sick culture. I rode a woman the other day... GREAT Grandmother 39 years old. This is where your tax dollars go.
