Will the taxis drive you and your toddler to POM from MIA without booster or car seat? I have a 4 yr old toddler.
I found this (bolding mine):
Child Car Seat Requirements
Florida law requires children under 5 years of age to be properly restrained no matter where they are seated in the vehicle. Children through age 3 must be secured in a separate carrier (child safety seat) or in a vehicle manufacturer's integrated child safety seat. For children ages 4 - 5, a separate carrier, an integrated child safety seat, or a safety belt may be used.

This is current law. As of Jan 1, children under 6 must ride in a booster seat.
How does Disney transportation work it with their buses?
wonder even the shuttle companies provide seats or some don't?
how do families with small kids transport from airport to the port? If you have to provide your own seat(s), that's extra stuff to lug around
I presuming in the taxi, we can use the regular seat belts for the toddler(considering my daughter is bit tall for her age).
last option to take the DCL bus? $60 vs $25+tip for cab.
You're correct, I did some more looking: http://www.wesh.com/news/florida-booster-seat-laws-for-children-to-change-in-january/25741288 Do you know whether someone must supply their own car seat for taxis? Or are taxis exempt (I doubt it, just asking).
In your situation, I'd invest in a bubblebum booster. Easy to haul around, and then your child will be safe in any vehicle (because a 4yo is never safe in just a belt). It'll easily fit in your luggage. http://www.bubblebum.co/us/
I was wondering the same thing for my almost 5 year old, and while reading this thread I just thought of a good use for the booster seat on the ship. Someone suggested I bring a booster seat to the theatre when I took my son to see Beauty and the Beast a couple of years ago. I was so glad I did. I bet my daughter could use a booster seat for the shows on the ship too. (or do they already have them?) I am considering connecting ours somehow to a backpack for the air travel there.

Yes, Bubblebum booster. We have 2 for our kids for only cruise travel. Otherwise 5yo is harnessed. There are some issues with some of the bladders leaking but the company is easy to work with and will send out a replacement easily and quickly. 1 was fine, the other leaked.
