Anyone have any recommendations for a taxi firm that has car seats for transporting our little one home later this week? Just a short journey from the Island to Kowloon...

Having lived here most of my life I've never heard of or seen such a thing. I don't think it exist.
 
It's not very safe, but we put our baby in a sling and I wore a seatbelt. I think you have to have your own carseat. Maybe you can get a used one on Asiaxpat.
 
taxis dont' have carseats. if you want to be the safest possible when travelling by car, you will have to buy your own car.
 
If it's just for one trip, maybe you can ask someone around you who has a baby ? a neighbour, a collegue ? or maybe get a second hand one on Asiaxpat, Geobaby or at Ecomaman.
 
Yes. If you often take taxis I really recommend buying a travel system, because then you can put the baby in the capsule, throw the wheels in the boot of the taxi, then click them together when you get out. You might find one in the classifieds. I didn't have this with my first baby, and really regretted it. With no. 2 we bought a quinny zapp cheaply on ebay which we could use with the maxi cosi capsule we already had. What a difference it made to my life! Still have never used the actual stroller of the quinny as I love our original stroller, but because we bought it second hand it didn't matter. If you put the baby in a sling, be sure to put the seatbelt between you and the baby, as if the belt is in front of you both and there is an accident you could crush the baby.
 
Great news - never heard of this service. I had heard that the YWCA hires out portacots so they would have been my suggestion for hiring a carseat.
