What the heck do people do when they have to take a car service or taxi with a baby? I might have to take a taxi a few times this week with my baby and I don't know what to do about the carseat issue? I know people just hold their children on laps but I refused to compromise my baby's safety like that. Is there a easy, portable carseat out there?

Some car services have their own car seats.

With an infant you can easily use a bucket seat without a base and just use the seatbelt in the cab and lock it.
If you need a convertible you can install it pretty quickly. I have a cosco scenera which is great for travelling b/c it is light and cheap and rearfaces to 35 lbs. You can get a case to help carry it. I personally prefer subways now b/c I hate schlepping a car seat.

are you talking about an infant? or a toddler?
An infant is easy. Snap and Gos are the best. You do not need a base strapped into the car--just buckle your car seat in.
With a toddler, either take your own or call a car service (yes there are some in NY) that provide car seats.

There are lot of baby car seats that clip in and out of the pushchair - they're called travel systems. More expensive than one that's not compatible, but may well be worth it if this situation comes up all the time.
Booster seats for preschoolers - I sometimes carry in the basket of my pushchair if I'm going to need it. Not terribly convenient, but do-able.
When I have all three kids with me, I book a disabled access taxi/black cab, that has a space for a wheelchair. I keep the two younger kids strapped into the double pushchair, which fits where the wheelchair goes, and bring the booster seat for my 5y.o.
