Grab Malaysia has launched a new Kid-Friendly Rides feature in beta, aimed at families travelling with children aged four to 12. The service offers rides with dedicated booster seats, provided by participating driver-partners who are trained in managing child restraint systems (CRS). This initiative aligns with safety guidelines from the Malaysian Institute of Road Safety Research (MIROS) and is part of Grab's broader efforts to enhance safety across its platform.
The feature joins existing safety measures like AudioProtect and Women-Only Rides, reflecting collaborations with the Ministry of Transport, MIROS, and seat manufacturer Koopers. Research by MIROS indicates that booster seats can reduce injury risk by 45% for children aged four to eight compared to seat belts alone, underscoring the importance of proper CRS usage.
Currently, the feature is limited to advance bookings at airports for selected Standard 6-Seater rides.
