However, <strong>UK law provides exemptions for taxis and private hire vehicles<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According to UK government guidelines:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Children under 3 years old<\/strong> may travel <strong>without a child seat<\/strong> in a taxi or private hire vehicle <strong>if one isn&#8217;t available<\/strong> \u2013 but <strong>must travel in the rear seats<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Children aged 3 or older<\/strong> may also travel without a booster or child seat if one isn&#8217;t available \u2013 again, <strong>they must wear an adult seatbelt<\/strong> and sit in the back.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So legally, you <strong>don\u2019t need to provide or request a child seat<\/strong> in a licensed taxi or private hire vehicle.
