It depends on your state. I’m going to give you the facts and the law.

But before I do, I am going to suggest that you do not take anybody who has a child without a car seat. You can never live with yourself if a child dies in your vehicle even if the accident isn’t your fault.

In Most states, like the state of Florida, as a ride for hire. Meaning you are a taxi, TNC, or even a limo driver, it is at your discretion to give a ride but you are not required to provide a car seat for the child. It is the responsibility of the adult who was paying for the ride to provide a car seat for the child. If there is an accident that person is responsible for that child.

Some people suggest providing a car seat. I for one do not because if something does happen and the child is injured in the car seat that you provided you could be held liable

when you cancel a ride in uber you actually get the option to pick that there was no car seat. I’m not sure about lyft though

Nope no child seat no ride. Too big a liability and I never let my kids ride loose so why would I allow a stranger to do that in MY vehicle. It’s illegal

I had a father with what looked like a newborn in a harness on his chest! I told him I could not take him home as he had a car seat he was indignant but I said sorry that’s the life of your child I’m concerned about and plus it’s the law

I know in Ca it’s law of the land and you must refuse to transport a child 5 yrs or 50#
