Uber vehicles with car seats have limited availability in both the X and XL vehicle categories. They have ONE car seat.

This appears to be a program Uber is no longer emphasizing, so as the involved drivers quit, the numbers of available car seats decrease and obviously there is less availability.

Lyft has NO vehicles with child seats.

I am really not surprised by this at all. It's a pretty big liability the driver is taking on. Making sure the car set is appropriate for the child's size, making room between passengers and luggage for a non-family user, plus the added expense of the car seat. Super Shuttle and Mears have taken a position that I think Uber & Lyft will too, "Bring your own." If you are using a service where you pre-book I think they are able to accommodate those needs. But the bulk of Uber/Lyft riders are not dealing with kids.

Just FYI, the Everything About Über/Lyft thread provides this and a great deal of other information.

To expand on this, Uber's car seat program is a separate class of service and is an added cost. Didn't want OP to think that any old X or XL they found would have a car seat. You have to specifically scroll to find one of the Uber with Car Seat option vehicles.
