Possibly because people use taxis occasionally and would have to carry the car seat round with them on the off chance of getting a taxi whereas if you have your own car the car seat stays in the car.

When you think about it babies travelling on buses or in trains don't have car seats either do they? I'm not sure how it could be enforced with taxis.
