UberFAMILY: A Safe Way for DC Area Parents on the Go

Uber is making life easier for parents in the DC metro area with the launch of uberFAMILY, their new on-demand car seat option. With the touch of a button and a $10 surcharge, parents can easily request a ride that’s equipped with a car seat.

When we first heard the news, my biggest concern was safety and proper installation of the carseats.  We were thrilled to find out that Uber DC teamed up with The Car Seat Lady’s Dr. Alisa Baer. She trained the service’s highest-rated partner drivers on how to safely secure the seats — which were all manufactured specifically for Uber by IMMI.

In celebration of the launch, Uber DC is kicking things off with a surcharge-free week brought to you by Care.com, the world’s largest online destination for finding and managing family care.
