Car Seat FAQ

Summary

Uber Car Seat rides use a Nuna RAVA Series convertible car seat and require drivers to view a Nuna installation demonstration. The RAVA is intended for children weighing 5 to 65 pounds and measuring 49 inches or less; parents, guardians, or caregivers must verify eligibility and secure the child properly. Nuna prefers vehicle-seat-belt installation because it avoids confusion about switching from lower anchors, fits more vehicle makes, and supports more seating positions, while NYC drivers attend an installation demonstration. Children above 65 pounds or 49 inches will not have an appropriate seat, and caregivers should consult the provided videos or manual for installation and securing guidance. To address allergy concerns, drivers may ask for children’s hands to be cleaned after eating, and caregivers should ask before food is consumed in the vehicle.
