Introducing GrabFamily, this selected fleet of vehicles will come equipped with approved child seat to provide a safer ride for children and their family alike. Alternative is Uber Car Seat
Many parents are concerned on the lack of child restraint in taxis and private-hire vehicles when they are travelling with their young children. Many young parents can attest to the difficulty of handling their young kids, especially when they are alone and have 2 to 3 kids with them.

The only exemption to the rule is Taxi, public buses and MRT. Children below the height of 1.35m, request for a GrabFamily instead.
Selected drivers who has undergone training and has accumulated a high passenger rating are invited to provide the service.
Base Fare – $4.55
Per KM rate – $0.68
