Do you let the driver know beforehand that you're traveling with a little one? Even if a car seat is…

Calling a taxi and specifying I have my own car seat.

Diana Fabrikova And for some reason, the amount immediately comes out as an overpayment, and what do I need to do with the car seat?

I choose the child fare without a car seat and write that I'm bringing my own seat.

I use Yandex. Usually, yes. The price doesn't really change because of it, and I prefer not to lug around my own bassinet. There were a couple of times I didn't specify the baby in the app due to rushing, but they were understanding.

Diana Fabrikova Found everything, thank you!)

We warned you a couple of times, but no one ended up coming. Even when you had your own car seat, you still had to wait longer for a ride.

Kochukov Aleksandr It's easier without your own, right??? In our city, many people drive without car seats at all, and whether there's a bassinet or not is a big question. Will I even get a taxi?

Anna Klyuchevskaya And if you don't warn them, they might be unhappy. Once with my older one, he locked the car and drove off, the idiot. It was only a 2-minute drive.

Anna Klyuchevskaya I know. There's no winning this game. If you warn them, you wait 40 minutes and then they cancel. If you don't warn them, they scream.

Yes, I'm choosing the child fare without a car seat. Because they might refuse us upon arrival.

If you're with your baby and don't have your own car, then a child fare. I didn't have to travel in a taxi with my own car seat. I don't even know. But one taxi driver told me himself that you can use a regular one and bring your own car seat. But who knows.

When I brought my infant car seat, I warned in the comments about the child fare.

Kochukov Aleksandr I bought a car seat when I went to visit my mom in another city. There, they didn't even know about the "child fare" option. I had to call to book a taxi, and even then, they arrived without car seats. In my own city, though, I don't need a car seat or booster, as many taxis already come with them.

With my first, I always wrote this in the comments, then it got easier because they came up with a child rate.

When my son was little, I used to take him out in his bassinet. But back then, the child fare was just starting and didn't have the 'own seat' option. Now I'd choose the child fare and 'own seat'.

No. I just selected the Child fare and ticked the box in the app right away that I would be traveling with my own car seat.
