Car seat mode
Car seat mode makes it easy for parents to travel with their child. Car seat mode matches riders with the same kinds of vehicles as Standard rides, just with car seats.
Car seat rides are currently only available in New York City. If Car seat rides are available in your city, you’ll see the option when selecting a ride.
