For child car seats, please contact specific taxi companies to see if they offer the necessary equipment (e.g. child seats, anchors, shoulder straps, as appropriate for the type of seat required).  You might be able to use your own child seat, if the taxi can safely accommodate it.  You can contact specific Toronto taxi companies via the 416-TAXICAB phone number or via the websites listed below.

If you have lost an item in a Toronto taxi and can't remember the cab company, we recommend contacting each of the major taxi companies (you can do this via 416-TAXICAB).
It helps if you can recall the colour of the taxi, as it's easier to identify the taxi company;  however, may Toronto taxi cabs are independent.  Some common taxi colours are:  Green/orange - Beck Taxi;   Dark Blue – Royal Taxi;  Silver – Crown Taxi;  Light Blue – Maple Taxi or Kingsboro Taxi;  Red – City Taxi;  Yellow – Yellow Cab;  Black/orange – Diamond Taxi.

Toronto taxi drivers and companies will often turn lost items over to the police.  To check if they have your item, call 416-808-3750 (Property and Evidence Unit – Toronto Police).

Items lost at or on the way to Toronto Pearson Airport might be turned in at the airport's Lost & Found offices.  The number for Terminal 1 and 2 Lost & Found is 416-776-7749 or 416-776-7750.  The number for Terminal 3 Lost & Found is 416-776-7751.
