Enter the Uber Car Seat: Your Knight in Shining (Lycra-Clad) Armor
Yup, you read that right. Uber offers a car seat option specifically for parents who want their little ones to be safe and sound during the ride. No more wrestling your car seat into a random UberX (been there, done that, got the backache to prove it).
Here's the magic trick:
Tip: Reread if it feels confusing.
- Open your Uber app and set your pick-up and drop-off locations.
- Now, for the key part: Look for the car selection options, usually displayed just above the "confirm" button. This is where the regular ol' UberX, UberXL, and all their friends live. But you, my friend, are on a quest for greater good. Instead, look for the glorious "Car Seat" option. It might be hiding shyly, but trust me, it's there.
- Select "Car Seat" with the confidence of a seasoned Uber warrior (or at least someone who's showered that day).
- Request your ride and watch the app find you a superhero driver equipped with a car seat.
Important Note: A car seat surcharge applies, but hey, a safe and comfy ride for your little one is priceless (well, almost priceless).
