Default Dubai for a non-driver with children?

Hello out there... Husband and myself, plus two children (ages 6 and 2) are considering a temporary relocation from UK to Dubai. I have read various blogs with conflicting views of public transport.

I do not drive (ie: no driving licence), a situation which is unlikely to change before we relocate. How practical is it to get out and about with two young children?

If the bus is not a good idea, could I use a regular driver/taxi who could keep car seats available for me? Are there female taxi drivers? Could a home help drive us also? What is the likely cost of this?

Any tips for walking around? I do a lot of walking in the UK with both children. Is it pedestrian-friendly?

Thank you!
