Amsterdam baby-friendly?

We are going to Amsterdam with our 19 month old. I was wondering if anyone has recommendations for restaurants, activities etc. Also, I can't find any information about whether or not we need a car seat in taxis. I would rather not lug ours there.

Looking for Nursery in Balham Area

Hi My daughter is 16 months old and I was wondering if there were any nurseries in the area that were part of the day and only 2 or 3 days of the week. I am a stay at home mom, but I think my daughter would love to have the chance to socialize with other children in a school-like atmosphere. Thanks -S
