In most states and territories, children under seven years must travel in an approved child car seat or booster seat if one is available. There are a number of ways that you can ensure your kids are safe and comfortable in a taxi, including using your own car seats, hiring a baby taxi with child seats or booking through an Uber that offers them.

A few weeks ago, rideshare giant Uber announced it would allow riders to book children’s car seats through its app for the first time in Australia. It’s starting in Melbourne, where it will connect families with drivers who have pre-approved child car seats in their vehicles. The drivers are being trained in how to install the car seats through a partnership with Baby Bunting, a national retailer of infant products and car seats.

The company says it’s responding to feedback from customers and working with regulatory authorities on the new service, which will be available in select cars in the greater Melbourne area. It plans to expand the pilot to 500 vehicles and eventually roll out the option across Australia if it’s successful.
