Starting from 1 November 2025, the Transport Department requires all child passengers aged below eight to use child safety seats in private cars, unless they are at least 1.35 metres tall. Otherwise, the driver must not drive the car on any road.
How will the new regulation affect driver-partners?
Once the regulation takes effect, we will be launching two new child safety seats ride options on the Uber app:, Aged 1-7 (Option 1) , and Aged 4-7 (Option 2) , enabling riders with children to book rides with safety seats in real-time. Driver-partners also have the opportunity to increase their earnings. But the driver-partners who are unable to provide child safety seats may see fewer ride requests.
How are we going to help our driver-partners in response to new regulations?
We are partnering with two suppliers to offer two types of child safety seat at reduced prices*.
The two recommended child safety seats are:
(1) Combi SafeTrip: Foldable safety seat for 1- to 7-year-olds (black, approximately the size of a small carry-on suitcase when folded)

(2) BubbleBum: Booster safety seat for 4- to 7-year-olds (black, approximately the size of a cushion)
Each vehicle is required to have two child safety seats to be eligible to receive Uber Car Seat trips.
Uber will also run incentives where driver-partners can unlock additional incentives up to HK$1500 (Option 1) and HK$700 (Option 2) after purchasing the Uber child safety seat option 1 or option 2 below and completing 50 eligible child safety seat trips, providing a way to boost earnings that may be used toward the expenses for child safety seats. More details will be shared after completing the purchase process.

Yes you can, but if you would like to use your own safety seats, you will not be eligible for additional incentives from Uber.
Please also be reminded that each vehicle is required to have two child safety seats to be eligible to accept new child safety seats trips. Therefore, we recommend that you make use of the purchase offers above to unlock additional incentives from Uber.
If you would like to use your own safety seats, please fill in this form to submit the model name and photo of the car seat to show that it meets the following requirements:
- Child safety seat group 1 and 2 (suitable for 1 to 7-year old, or 4 to 7-year-old children)

If you only own one suitable child safety seat, you can refer to the above options and purchase one additional child safety seat to be eligible to receive car seat trips. You can select either the Combi SafeTrip or BubbleBum with the discounted price.
* The exclusive, one-time discount is only for Uber driver-partners. Each driver-partner can only purchase the discounted price once. The promotion period is from 18 August 2025 to 31 October 2025. The discount is offered by the suppliers of the safety seat products, not by Uber.
** Driver-partners are responsible for maintaining and cleaning the safety seat products, and directly contacting the supplier for any customer service-related issues. Uber is not the seller of the safety seat products. Uber is not responsible for any damage that results from the use of the safety seat products.
