What else is helpful to know?
Daycare stops to and from work are included. To fit the provided car seats for children younger than 12 years old, we need to know the age, (estimated) height and weight of each child riding with the passenger. A certified car seat technician must meet with the family before their first ride to properly fit the car seats, which are preinstalled in the van. If you are calling in your ride request, please provide this information when you call.
