HOW DO YOU GET ON AN UBER WITH A BABY? Help x

As far as I’m aware it’s a legal requirement, you won’t be able to take a baby in an uber or any car without a car seat. Maybe consider using bus or train if available?
Yh u strap the car seat in the car and if your buggy comes with adapters for the car seat the process is quite smooth
You can also attach your car seat on your pram and If your car seat reclines you can leave baby in it a little longer and take them out every once in a a while to ensure their airway is not blocked. You could take a baby carrier with you and swap between the carrier and your travel system. Also not sure if this would work cause I’ve only used it for luggage but there is an app called stasher where you can find places to leave your bags for the day. Maybe you could bring a car seat storage bag and leave it somewhere convenient x
Legally, you don't have to use a car seat in a taxi but this is obviously very unsafe. Yes you'd need to learn how to strap it in (you should know this anyway) and take it with you. You can attach it to the handles of the pram when not using it throughout the day with some bungee cords or straps.
@Charley wow didn’t realise it wasn’t a legal requirement. It should be 😅
Most taxis where i am don't require a carseat you can hold baby on your lap like you would on a bus. Get a carry carseat they're easier to strap in
@Tess it's true i went into very quick labour with my LG, we had just moved home and didn't have everything prepared lol,,,, Long story short the hospital discharged me without a carseat lol and we took an uber and I held LG in my arms, hubby had our eldest on his lap - it wasn't ideal at 4am going into labour lol but we just had to do what we could do x
I have and a do get uber with out a car set - it’s hard if your out and need to rush home and have no car seat. It’s not ideal as it’s not 100% save but they do allow babies with no car seats.
@Tess my local taxis don’t care. You can hold your baby in it and come with the bassinet
We got this buggy called Doona, and it folds into a car seat .. by far the best purchase ever? And it wasn’t even expensive at all considering how much buggies cost nowadays The only problem is that it doesn’t have any storage but really worth having a look
@Ruzica newborn babies can still only be in a doona for 30 minutes at a time
I'm not sure about ubers, Although a local cab station some of them have car seats of you ask before your journey 😉
