I have already tried calling yellow cab and they do not provide car seats.
I don't know what other cab companies there might be in the area.

Well, on switchboard.com alone there are 16 listings for taxi services.
Google turned up a bunch of others too.

I've been in situations where I needed a cab, and the internet turned up scads.
But when called, many of them don't answer, don't serve the area, or are
closed. Also many cab companies go by many names and many numbers. So, those
16 listings may well be for one company that has been out of business for seven
years.

J. won't know until he calls, will he?

Could be I'm doomed to die in a car wreck tomorrow. I still plan to get out
of bed though.

Right. But just the existance of 16 listings should not make him complacent.

Who said anything about him being complacent? I specifically suggested that
he call the companies prior to his trip. I haven't seen anything to suggest
that he would ignore that advice, or otherwise act in a complacent manner.

In the end I have just decided to rent a minivan. It does seem a bit of an
overkill, but since a cab fare is apparently about $13 one way, by the time
we pay round trip cab fare for two cabs it is already close to the cost of
renting a car (although I'm not sure how much parknig will be). We can also
split the costs with the friends we are taking with us. Since I am paying
the cost of the flight, it doesn't seem too unreasonable to ask to split the
car rental.
