It’s extremely common for even toddlers to be in cabs in europe with no car seat.

Or, duh, and who your child could get killed.
Honestly, do you people not understand the purpose of car seats, and how many lives they have saved?
I know two people whose children were seriously injured (one killed) due to similar circumstances. One was in a cab (that was hit from behind when stopped). The other took their baby out of the seat for just a few minutes to calm her down by breastfeeding them.
Please don’t risk it.
Imagine how these parents feel?
Yes, they have saved lives, but all of us grew up without carseats, and the 7 year old needing a carseat is pretty new.

You never ever NEED to get to the airport. You WANT to go on a trip.

Your 7 year old is old enough to know that you are lying to get what you want/out of convenience. You have absolutely no right to ask them to always tell you the truth.

We take Uber all the time with no car seats. Usually we will request Uber black if it's an option. It's like taking a cab, buckle the kid up and go.

Totally. In my experience, Uber drivers are flexible on both rules and laws.

The Uber driver can refuse to take you. I would refuse, if I were an Uber driver.

How would you feel if the Uber was in a car accident and your child was injured?

Can I take Uber with my 7 yr old without having a car seat? Need to make a short 15 minutes trip within Virginia.
