Uber is working on a potential “tween” ride option that would allow children aged 10 to 12 to use Uber services, according to reporting that cites code changes in the company’s mobile app.
The concept appears to be tied to Uber Family, a feature designed for managing riders in a household setting. The app references adding a child in the 10–12 range to a family profile, with a trusted adult contact and the possibility of requiring a grown-up at pickup. One outlet says this is not yet a live product.
Across outlets, the coverage focuses on what the new option could look like and how it would fit with Uber’s existing teen offering, which is reported to cover ages 13 to 17. While Bloomberg frames the effort as a possible expansion into Uber’s youngest demographic, The Next Web details that the feature is still under development and emphasizes the current state of Uber’s teen rider program. Seeking Alpha’s report aligns with the general premise of Uber considering the option.
