Based on 2 discussions with 2 participants · Last activity: 6 days ago
TL;DR
In Dubai, the usual option is Careem Kids, which lets you request a taxi with a child seat, but pickup often takes around 25–30 minutes instead of the usual 3–5. These cars typically come with only one seat, and drivers usually do not keep child seats in the trunk full-time.

Careem Kids cars usually take much longer to arrive: around 25–30 minutes, compared with about 3–5 minutes for a regular taxi.

If you book Careem Kids, the car generally comes with only one child seat. The discussion did not provide a reliable way to guarantee two seats in one booking.

A practical detail: drivers usually do not keep a child seat in the trunk all the time — they often have to pick it up after receiving the booking, which is why the wait is longer.

According to the discussion, child seats in the UAE are considered legally required at least for children under 4, although in practice many people still ride without one, especially in regular taxis.
