DH is insisting they aren't.

DD is 10mo but tiny and still in a Group 0.

Not compulsory in taxis but I would NEVER do it.

What are the circumstances to consider it?

from child car seat law website:

In a licensed taxi or licensed hire car, if a child restraint is not available then the child may travel unrestrained in the rear. This is the only exception for children under 3, and has been introduced for practical rather than safety reasons. You should always think about ways to make sure that a child seat is available.
