[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Oh wow I didn't know that Uber didn't count as a taxi for the purpose of child car seat laws. That's strange. I thought private car services counted?[/quote]

Taxis and uberBLACK are considered a private commercial vehicle.  UberX is considered a personal TNC vehicle (transportation network company).  I highly doubt a cop would even know the nuances between the two and let it slide.  The legal issues regarding ridesharing has been very fluid for years at point and local gov't has almost went completely hands-off as of late as long as they get their little cut.

[quote=Anonymous]OP would you ever consider doing Uber car seat service? we have used it a few times in DC and it was really conveneint. The driver just pulls the seat out of the trunk and sets it up in no time flat. Since there is a $10 extra charge would that be another way to make more money. I totally want you to buy a house. This AMA is fascinating. You should be on an Uber reality show or write a blog.[/quote]

I showed up to the uber info session for this when it started, saw the whole car seat setup, and decided it wasn't worth my time.  For every car seat ride, you give dozens of regular ones...it'd just be taking up useful space in the trunk.  Also, I drive mostly after dark, so little Larlo and Larla should be in bed if I'm out on the streets.[/quote]
