Bringing Baby Home

I agree HappyV and some things are important enough to need some drama! I see people holding infants in the front seat with no restraints at all. Even a small accident could result in the baby becoming a projectile and being killed. It is very scary and you are right, there should be more education and laws in this area.

The first thing I do when getting into a taxi is to lock both doors, since my daughter tried touching the lock once, then belt her and myself up.

In minibuses, the HK Police does have CIDs looking for people not buckling up, then ask the driver to stop and give people summons to court for fines.

what is the law now now? Last time I was in hong kong Adults had to use the seat belts in taxi's but car seats were not required. Al least this is what my brother in law told me. We did not take our car seat with us (from Canada) as my husband refused to saying it was too impractical to use with the taxi's so everytime we went in one I prayed we weren't killed. I worn the infant carrier and strapped my self in some how, but I know if we were in an accident that would not do anything as there is no head support for the baby at all! In Canada I have never gone anywhere without the car seat. Next time we go I will have a toddler and a baby and have no idea what to do. If you use a taxi there is no way I can drag 2 car seats along with me into stores, etc.
