carseats on transfers

Do you bring carseats for the Disney transfer from the airport to the port? My brother has three young children and would like to avoid carting their carseats around the airport.

What do you do when taking taxis in port?

Thank you so much! Actually, I was thinking about ports in the Caribbean.

Yipes! You know, now that I think of it, I think I rode in a similar vehicle on St. Thomas one time. I was in college at the time so it didn't even occur to me that it wasn't a great mode of transport for small children (or anyone, for that matter). Thanks for your help!

As far as I know, in Florida, car seats are required in all cars for all under age 6

, including taxis, however I found this description about the law:
There are exemptions, including children being driven by unpaid drivers who are not in the child’s immediate family, children being transported for medical emergencies and children with a medical condition necessitating an exception. Parents bear the responsibility of putting their children in seats in cabs and limousines, and the operator of the for-hire vehicle is not liable, the law says.

I read that as the parent must supply the car seat for a taxi. Now, if you were to show up for a taxi ride without one, I don't know if they would refuse you, or not.

Here's a news article about it when the law changed:
