Every Kidmoto vehicle arrives with the car seat already installed and harnessed, before the car reaches you.

You request one of six settings when you book. The settings go by weight.

Setting 1 — Rear-facing infant — 5 to 15 lbs

Setting 2 — Rear-facing toddler — 15 to 40 lbs

Setting 3 — Front-facing toddler, harness (smaller) — under 40 lbs

Setting 4 — Front-facing toddler, harness (larger) — 40 to 65 lbs

Setting 5 — High-back booster — 40 to 120 lbs

Setting 6 — Standard booster (backless) — 40 to 120 lbs

Up to four seats per ride. If you are travelling with several car seats, a wheelchair, or extra luggage, we recommend booking an SUV or larger vehicle.

You know your child; we do not. You select the setting when you book, and your driver brings that seat installed. Kidmoto supplies and installs the setting you select. We do not assess whether a particular setting is appropriate for an individual child — that decision is yours.

We are not the authority on child passenger safety. These organizations are, and we share their guidance so you can choose with the same information they give parents.

The American Academy of Pediatrics

"All infants should ride rear-facing, starting with their first ride home from the hospital."

Children should stay rear-facing "as long as possible until they reach the highest weight or height allowed by their car safety seat manufacturer."

On harnesses: "It is best for children to ride in a seat with a harness as long as possible, at least to 4 years of age."

NHTSA

Under age 1 — "Your child under age 1 should always ride in a rear-facing car seat."

Ages 1–3 — "Keep your child rear-facing as long as possible. It's the best way to keep him or her safe."

Ages 4–7 — "Keep your child in a forward-facing car seat with a harness and tether until he or she reaches the top height or weight limit."

Safe Kids Worldwide

"Your baby needs to ride in a rear-facing car seat as long as possible until 2 or more years."

Cincinnati Children's Hospital, on why rear-facing matters

"When children ride rear-facing in the car, their head, neck and spine are better supported within the upper shell of the car seat."

"Studies show that the likelihood for head and neck injuries in crashes of all directions is significantly lower if a child is riding rear-facing as compared to forward-facing."

Two settings cover that weight — Setting 2 (rear-facing) and Setting 3 (front-facing with harness). Weight alone does not decide between them. The organizations above all point the same way: keep a young child rear-facing for as long as the seat allows.

Picked the wrong setting, or changed your mind? Email [email protected] with your reservation number and we will change it before your ride. We would always rather swap a seat than have you travel unsure.

Where you are travelling. Child passenger safety requirements vary by country and region. Kidmoto operates in 100+ cities worldwide, and customers are responsible for confirming what applies to their journey.

Unaccompanied minors. Kidmoto does not transport unaccompanied minors of any age. A parent or guardian must accompany the child for the whole ride.

Short-notice bookings. We do accept short-notice rides when a driver with the right seats is available — email us to check. A $30 late booking fee may apply.
