The Uber Family app is a family-friendly car service app that only hails cabs that have a child seat in them for families on the go in New York City.
Uber is already a popular taxi cab app that helps users use their smartphone to find a cab in the area and pay using pre-uploaded cash. Users can request what type of car they'd like to have pick them up, from SUVs to classic black cars. The Uber Family app is an extension off of the Uber app that caters specifically to families looking for a car service with a child seat. All you have to do to use the Uber Family app is download the original Uber app and click on the family extension with the child in a car seat icon. This weekend in honor of Mother's Day the charge is free, but starting May 12th a $12 surcharge will apply for the car seat.

- Premium Family Service
- Offering personalized and enhanced services such as in-cab entertainment and child-friendly amenities for families could be a new trend for luxury ride-sharing companies.
Sectors Adopting This

- Luxury Transportation
- Luxury ride-sharing companies could leverage their premium offerings to create a niche market for family transportation services and stand out as an exclusive service provider.
