Auto seats

Drivers and riders should comply with local laws when traveling with infants and small children. When riding with children, it’s the account holder's responsibility to provide and fit a suitable auto seat.

Tips for drivers

When picking up riders traveling with small children, you can give them extra time to properly install a auto seat before driving off. If they don’t have the appropriate auto seat or you’re not comfortable with a rider installing one in your auto, you can cancel the ride. Note that refusing or canceling trips on this basis will not impact your driver rating.
