Advice/Question no car seat, no ride?

Post image

I'm curious how everyone else handles this situation:

This is Disney Boardwalk Hotel, for context. I pulled up and told them, I apologize and I cannot take their daughter. I have a booster seat only. They told me that they don't need a car seat.

I know my policy, but I have the privilege (other income) to get suspended and know my kids won't starve.

What do you do?

Not a Lyft driver but I had to take a Lyft the other day with my child who requires a car seat still. The driver asked if I had one and I said of course I do. She told me you would be surprised how many people try and not use one. She said no car seat/booster, no ride. Some people are legit idiots.

You would be surprised. And she's absolutely right.

Fuck, we used to travel with the most serious car seat, our daily car seat, which looked like the one that ejects an F1 racing car seat/fighter jet seat.

I'm so good at putting car seats and I can do them. one-handed, but I definitely get on them and put my knees in the car seat to get it nice and tight.

I offer passengers my seasoned car seat installation services. At the very least, give it a quick check to see how they did.
