Uber Driver Calls Out Mother For Trying To Fit Her Six Kids Into Ride Without Car Seats

An Uber driver on TikTok got into an argument with a mom who wanted to try to fit herself and her six children into the driver's four-passenger car without car seats.

When people start to think about having children, they need a crash course in how many big-ticket items they will need for their child in their home, and just how much stuff they'll have to carry around for that child until they are older.

As small as babies are, they need a lot of stuff and take up a lot of room. The more kids who are present, the more stuff there will need to be.


But some parents out there don't want to accept the responsibility of all the tools and equipment they need to safely raise their children.

An Uber driver and TikToker @shortylutfz recently came face-to-face with a mom who had six very young children but did not want to be held responsible for wanting to take the family of seven in an Uber without any car seats.

The driver started recording just in case as the family approached the car and she realized that the family was going to be too large to fit into her UberX, which safely seats four people.

But the larger issue was the fact that the oldest child of six was holding a baby while the mother was also holding a baby, with four other young children in attendance—and not a car seat or booster in sight.

After the Uber driver explained that the mother would need an Uber XL to seat her entire family, the driver pointed out that she would also need car seats for the children to safely and legally drive them to their destination.

The mother insisted that everything was fine and that she and her oldest daughter would hold the babies in their laps, which the Uber driver refused as a reasonable solution.

The driver then pointed out that the police would not agree with the mother's plan, and that Uber itself also would not accept such relaxed safety protocols.

When the mother balked at the Uber's demand for car seats, the driver pointed out:

"You're a parent! You are a parent. When you have children, you are a parent, and this is what you have to do."

Car seats are heavy and difficult to carry around, but no one was saying that it would necessarily be easy for the mother to carry around multiple carseats while taking care of her six children.

But if she wants them to be safe and wants to be able to go places with them, she needs to provide the necessary safety equipment for them, full stop.
