How to Request an Uber With a Car Seat for Your Child
- You can easily request an Uber with a car seat for an additional fee.
- You'd simply select the car seat option when you set up your rideshare request on Uber.
- Visit Business Insider's homepage for more stories.
Grabbing a rideshare when you have a small child can be complicated. It's not as though you're toting around their carseat if you don't usually travel by car, especially if you live in or visit New York City.
But there are times when it's necessary. If you want to use Uber in New York City, you do have the option to get an UberX vehicle with a forward-facing car seat, for a $10 fee.
Also, your child must:
- Be at least two years old;
- Weigh 22 to 47 pounds;
- Measure 31 to 51 inches tall.
You should also know that cars are only equipped with one car seat, so if you need more than one, you'll have to look elsewhere for a safe ride to your destination. But for those with a single child in need of a car seat, as long as they meet those requirements, you should be good to go.

In October, the Verkhovna Rada introduced fines for drivers who carry children in a car without a car seat. Taxi companies have started to buy car seats and introduced special rates for the new service.
We tell you how taxis with car seats actually work in Kyiv.
We analyzed the reviews of parents in the group "Kyiv friendly to fathers and children" and checked some of them on our own experience.
How to order : select the Kids function in the app
Price per car seat : for test mode - free of charge
Car seat categories : universal seats for children weighing up to 36 kg. No boosters available
Bolt Taxi Service recently introduced the option to order a taxi with a car seat. To use the service, you need to select the Kids category when ordering a taxi. During the test period, the cost of a taxi with a car seat is the same as when ordering a standard Bolt category.
The function is still being tested, and some users note that it does not always work: “You order (a car) and they immediately give you the driver closest to you. But, as it turned out, the system does not recognize cars in which there are chairs and which are not. Therefore, they will give you a car, but whether there is a chair or not, only the driver will tell.
”
But there is also a positive experience: “Today my daughter (3.5 years old) used the Kids option. The car arrived quickly, in 5 minutes. The cost is reasonable, lower than Uber. The child seat is fully functional - on the platform, with lateral support and headrest adjustment.
BZ journalists also tested a new option from Bolt. In the first case, it was not possible to order a car with a car seat - there were no cars in our area and the Kids function was inactive. In the second case, everything worked - within 5 minutes a car arrived with a brand new seat, and for a distance of 2.3 km only 29UAH
Bolt BZ noted that so far the number of cars with car seats in Kiev is limited: "In case of difficulties with ordering this category, you can contact Bolt support. The service is in test mode."
How to order? The Uklon app now has the ability to indicate that you are traveling with a child and you need a car with a car seat (“Traveling with a child” function).
In total, according to company managers, at the time of the launch, drivers had a thousand car seats, and they planned to purchase another 500 car seats and 1,000 boosters. The company also stated that the cost of a trip with a car seat would be +30 UAH. But users note that the function does not always work, and the price when choosing the “Food with a child” function increases to 80 or more hryvnia, depending on the mileage.
Uklon is the leader among all Kyiv taxi services in terms of negative feedback from parents who order cars with car seats:
“Yesterday, they tried to call a car with a seat for almost an hour, all orders were cancelled. Finally the car arrived. But no chair. The driver didn't know at all. For the trip they took off, as with a chair. Wrote - the money was returned. But the system is not working yet,” one of the users writes.
There are a lot of similar reviews in parent groups: most often, according to parents, after choosing the “Drive with a child” function, the driver calls you and asks if you are ready to go without a car seat, since it is not in the car.
This question sometimes arises at the time of car delivery. If you agree (at the risk of safety, the driver is ready to take on a possible fine for driving without a car seat), the application still charges you additional money. After complaints, they are usually returned.
Uklon co-founder Sergiy Smus said that the option “I'm traveling with a child” is temporary. In March, the company plans to create a separate “Children's” class, which will include only those drivers who have car seats.
How to order : select the function “Food with children” in the application
Price for a car seat : 50 UAH for a car seat and 30 for a booster
Categories of car seats : for children 1-3 years old, 3-7, 7 -11
Taxi Bond asked drivers who have car seats to install their own. For the rest, the company bought chairs and provided them for use. The cost of a trip with a car seat is standard - +50 UAH. According to the company, it is also possible to call a taxi with two car seats, but there are fewer such cars.
Three car seats can be ordered together with the minivan function.
According to parents, this taxi service is one of the most reliable, a car with a seat is almost always and quickly enough. But there are also negative experiences. “Today a taxi arrived with a booster for a child, although I ordered with a car seat of the first category,” writes one of the users.
Journalist BZ also tested the taxi "Bond" - a car with a car seat was found quickly, and for a trip within 2.3 km had to pay 87 hryvnia.
How to order: select the “Transportation of a child” function in the services, the age of the child must be indicated in the comments years (22-36 kg). In the driver's profile, you can see in the photo what special equipment he has installed.
Cars of this service are equipped with either car seats or boosters - what exactly is installed in a particular car can be found in the driver's profile. For a trip with a car seat, an additional 35 UAH is charged.
Feedback on the work of OnTaxi is mostly positive - it takes about 5-10 minutes to search for a car, except that you have to increase the tariff during rush hour. True, if you are traveling with your own booster, you should indicate this in the comments - otherwise a taxi with an already installed car seat may arrive.
How to order : by phone 073-500-55-99, or through the online form on the website, the Cab application is planned to be launched in April car seat - 70 UAH, two chairs - 220 UAH. A second booster or car seat must be reported at the time of order
Categories of car seats : booster from 15 kg / 4 years, car seats 0+
All cars of this taxi service have boosters - special small seats with armrests without a back and internal seat belts. They are designed for the safe transportation of children from about 4 years old and weighing 15 kg.
A trip with such a chair is charged without surcharges. Two boosters or a full-size car seat (for transporting a child under 4 years old) are installed at the passenger's request when ordering a taxi and are an additional service.
Parents' reviews of this taxi are still few, among them there are both positive and negative. Some write that they ordered White Cab twice, a day and an hour before the trip, and everything went well: SMS came 40 minutes and 10 minutes before delivery, a car arrived with a new Chicco booster. Another user complains that she ordered a taxi with a car seat, but a car with a booster arrived.
How to order: Viber/tel: +38 (067) 526-36-94, +38 (063) 825-18-38, online form
Car seat price: no surcharge
Car seat categories: Cybex car seats for all ages
Baby transfer position themselves as a baby taxi. When pre-ordering, it is possible to choose a chair for a child. Baby transfer also has a taxi with two car seats, a taxi for babies and a function to accompany the child. All the nuances of the trip must be clarified with the operator at the stage of formation of the application, in particular, indicate the age of the child.
According to the company's website, the machines are equipped with baby water with a dispenser, still water for the attendant, dry and wet wipes, disposable diapers and individually wrapped diapers.
Also in the car there are toys, children's magazines and books.
The price of the trip depends on the distance. But users note that the cost of Baby transfer is higher than the average cost of other taxis. At the same time, parents call this service one of the most reliable for traveling with children.
How to order: 067-777-00-33, application
Car seat price: no surcharge
Car seat category: 0+
This service bills itself as a taxi that transports only women and children. All cars have car seats, for which you do not need to pay extra. All service drivers are women.
There is a babysitting service - the driver will accompany the child to school, kindergarten or club. But only a woman can ride in such a taxi with a child, men will be denied an order.
At the very beginning, you could order Pink Taxi only by phone, but since March the website and application have been launched (payment is only in cash). Free cars are also often not enough.
In the first week of Pink Taxi's operation, the Vector editors ordered a car 3 times at different times and on different days, but each time there were no free taxis. There were only 18 cars in the fleet of this service, and they physically did not have time to serve all orders.
But already about a month after the launch, the situation changed - according to the reviews in the group "Kiev is friendly to fathers and children", it is now much easier to call PinkTaxi: “I travel with them and with two children. Each car has a booster and a car seat”, “We ordered it 5 times already and everything is fine”.
If you are planning a trip with a child in advance and are not sure if a taxi with a car seat will be available at the right time, you can ask the parent community for help. Write a post with the date, time, travel route and age of the child. And cooperate with those who have a free car with a car seat at this time. Chances are you will find someone willing to give you a ride for a nominal fee.
