Mexico City and Oaxaca with 1-year-old and no car seat

The safest way to get from the Oaxaca airport to your hotel would be the official collective van. Price 85 MXN each, more or less.

Thanks for your reply! So Uber, Lyft, and Cabify offer a car seat option right in the app in CDMX

Absolutely... for example, UberX and then "car seat," Lyft has "car seat mode," etc.

The safest way... collective van

With a baby!? How could this be safer than a private taxi? You never know when some fellow passenger is going to wig out!

After getting settled, the best option would be to meet a few taxi drivers and see who you want to make your guy for the duration... preferably a kindly old man with lots of stories and a clean vehicle as opposed to a bleary eyed drunk in some dented up lemon. Then stick with him (or her, if you're lucky).

I asked a taxi driver... and they answered that they don't offer child seats.

This doesn't sound like a good candidate! He should talk to the hand. I do know for a fact that some drivers offer them, specifically in Oaxaca (also mentioned this in the thread below). You just have to ask around, your hotel would almost definitely be able to help find someone.

Private taxis aren't allowed to pick up passengers at Oaxaca airport. But you can opt for an official private sedan provided by the airport at additional cost.
