Following in the footsteps of Careem, Uber is now equipped to provide child car seats upon request to families travelling with little ones in Dubai.. The UberFamily service, which launched on Wednesday, February 26, costs an additional Dh10 and the vehicle will come loaded with a standard car seat suitable for children who are four years or younger.. The company already provides this service in New York City, and said it was introduced in the UAE "in response to greater demand for child-friendly travel from riders in Dubai"..

"On a personal level, it will reduce so much to and fro, to leave work and pick up the nanny and child in the car from home to a play date, say, or birthday party.. Mum-of-two
