Where is she going? Standard of taxis will vary greatly depending on destination. In general a large bus is safer but it may not be convenient. On all our trips to Mexico we use transportation consisting of a regular car or some kind of van.
In many places vehicles are new and of high standard. Again, standards will vary depending on destination. An easy way is to ask when reserving the cab. If car/van has no seat belts simply use another one. What kind of seats is she bringing?
gigi said:She is flying with an 18 month old lap baby. She literally only needs the seat for the 30 minute trip to the resort and back to the airport. It will be gate checked for plane and not needed for airport trips to from home. I wouldn't do any of the above with my own child and, having traveled by mexican van many times before, wouldn't do the airport transfer either but it isn't my call and I wanted to try to keep her kid as safe as possible.
I told her to call whomever arranged resort transportation and ask about seatbelts.
Thanks everyone!
This kind of transportation is not any more expensive than a regular taxi. Since they cater to tourists safety is more of a factor. These companies often have a website and are quite serious.
