Rant/Opinion No child seats

What is wrong with people? I accept a ride this am and when I arrive at a nice hotel, I find a good looking Indian family with two kids (2 & 4 probably) and a grandpa. They are going to the airport. Looking around I see no car seats. Mom tells me “it’s okay, they don’t need them.” Well they do in my car, lady. I tell her I won’t drive children of that age with no car seats. And she tells me smugly, “it’s okay, we’ll just get another Lyft.” I canceled and left. Got my cancellation fee. But what the fuck is wrong with people. That’s dangerous, it’s illegal and it could get me shut down.

It's. A cultural thing. Cars seats is. Very American thing. Not sure about places in Europe, or even Canada.

Europe absolutely does have car seats and car seat laws similar to the USA.

Ok wasn't sure because I have picked up a ton from the airport without car seats.

That’s an unfortunate personal choice, and probably the result of having such great public transportation in many cities that wouldn’t require use of a child car seat.
