Shanghai to install safety seats in taxis

Shanghai will soon roll out taxis equipped with children's safety seats in compliance with a new regulation on protecting minors while riding in vehicles.

A total of 168 taxis from four local companies - Dazhong, Qiangsheng, Jinjiang and Haibo - will install the safety seats.

Gifted by Shanghai Services Federation, the seats are worth about 3,000 yuan ($480) each and suitable for children aged 9 months to 12 years.
