We also offer taxi services that are great for pre-natal and post-natal delivery! Things to note when riding with a baby

There are many opportunities to travel with your baby when you leave the hospital after giving birth or to regular checkups such as one-month checkups. If you can't use your own car and it's difficult to get around by public transport, taxis are a great option.
This time, we have summarized the key points to consider when riding a taxi with your baby.

Is it OK to ride a taxi with your baby?

After giving birth, the mother's body remains damaged, and it's difficult to do anything. You need to work to reduce the burden as much as possible.
When going out with your baby, it would be best if you had a family member who would drive your own car, but if not, a taxi that can be accessed door to door is convenient.

Recently, there are more and more taxi companies that provide services that support mothers, such as "postpartum taxis" that can be used when discharged from hospital after giving birth, and "parenting support taxis" and "mama support taxis" that support children in their rides. In some areas, you can receive generous support before giving birth, such as a maternity taxi or a labor taxi. Make good use of it.

Taxi capacity is set for each vehicle model. The average taxi capacity is 4 people, excluding drivers. Children under the age of 12 are converted to 2 adults, so the capacity is full for moms and dads and three children. Not only moms and babies, but other families also need to be careful when riding with them.

What to prepare before you get in a taxi?

Once you have set the ride date and time, it's a good idea to make a reservation in advance.
Using the ride-hailing app is convenient as you can only use one smartphone from booking to payment. Depending on the region and company, it may be possible to specify the vehicle model. If you want to ride a stroller with your baby, make a reservation for a minivan-type taxi. For regular taxis with small interiors, the stroller is folded, stored in the trunk, and then carried.

Taxi is exempt from the duty to use child seats and can be carried with the baby. Since this is intended to protect the baby's safety, it is best to use a child seat when taking a taxi.
Some companies can bring your own items and use them, and some companies will prepare a child seat that suits your age if you make a reservation in advance. Depending on the company, please check carefully when making a reservation.
If you are not using a child seat when you have to take a taxi at the last minute or for a short trip, try to hold the baby in your baby carrier.

When going out with a baby, it tends to be a lot of luggage. You need to think about what kind of bags and how to store your luggage.
Make sure to prepare anything you might need in the car, such as a smartphone or wallet, wet tissues that wipe your mouth when your baby vomits, or small toys that will distract you when you slurp, in a place where you can quickly remove it.

Many mothers may want to drink milk to get them to sleep while they are on the move, but since there is a concern about car sickness or vomiting, it is best to avoid breastfeeding just before boarding. If possible, we recommend that you complete it by an hour in advance, or at least 30 minutes in advance.

What do you do when you ride a taxi with a baby carrier?

Inside the car, it is recommended to sit directly behind the driver's seat.
Depending on the vehicle model, it is said that the highest survival rate in the event of a collision is directly behind the driver's seat.

Once you're seated, tighten your seat belt.
It is mandatory under the Road Traffic Act to wear seat belts even in the rear seats. Protect it for safety as well.

However, only adults are fastening their seat belts.
In a taxi without a child seat, mom and dad first tighten the seat belt and then hold the baby. Do not tighten the belt over your baby's body. This is because in the event of a collision or sudden braking, the belt that bites into the impact is too much for a baby.

Using a baby carrier that can hold the baby in place is safer and more secure, but if it's difficult, you can also use a sling. Avoid holding your bare hands as it is dangerous.

You may be worried or worried about riding a taxi with your baby, but the vibrations of the car are similar to the womb environment, so babies often fall asleep in peace. Moms and dads should also try to keep their baby relaxed and relaxed.
