According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), nearly 80% of car seats are misused.

That statistic is concerning, and for parents trying to navigate an airport, manage luggage, keep track of a child, and stay on schedule, helping with car seat safety can be quite challenging. Kidmoto was created to help address that.

Founded by Nelson Nigel, Kidmoto is a rideshare service that provides professionally installed car seats for families traveling to and from airports. Available in over 50 U.S. cities, the company has completed more than 45,000 rides and maintains high-rated customer satisfaction scores.

Parents across the country are choosing Kidmoto because it solves a real, urgent problem.

What Makes Kidmoto Different

Unlike Uber or Lyft, Kidmoto is designed with families in mind. Every ride includes a properly installed car seat that is tailored to the child’s age, weight, and height.

Kidmoto drivers receive training in child passenger safety. This is not a premium add-on—it’s the standard.

Families avoid the stress of carrying bulky car seats through busy airports. They don’t have to worry about installation errors or availability. When they book a Kidmoto ride, everything is taken care of.

And the result? Confidence. Safety. Simplicity.

A Personal Mission from a Resilient Founder

Nelson Nigel isn’t a tech billionaire or a venture capitalist. He’s an immigrant from Guyana who grew up in Queens, New York, and worked as a yellow taxi and Uber driver to make ends meet.

His path to entrepreneurship came after surviving one of the traumatic experiences imaginable—being hit by a New York City express subway train. He suffered brain damage, spent weeks in a coma, and had to relearn basic functions.

But that didn’t stop him.

Nigel started Kidmoto because he kept hearing the same frustration from parents while driving them to and from airports: no one was helping families travel safely with children.

That experience shaped his mission.

“Safe travel for families isn’t optional—it’s essential,” Nigel says. “If no one else will build it, I will.”

Serving a Growing Demand

According to the CDC, motor vehicle injuries are a leading cause of death among children in the U.S. Proper car seat use significantly reduces the risk.

But rideshare services aren’t built for that level of care. Parents are often forced to “just jump in a cab,” hoping for the best.

Kidmoto eliminates that gamble.

With over 50 service locations, the company is expanding to meet growing demand. Parents in major cities like New York, Los Angeles, Miami, and Chicago now have a trusted option when traveling with young children.

And the feedback speaks for itself. Kidmoto holds a 4.9 Trustpilot rating and a 5.0 on TripAdvisor.

The Bigger Picture: Moto Nation

Kidmoto is part of Moto Nation Technologies, a company dedicated to addressing transportation challenges for underserved communities.

Other Moto Nation services include:

• Babymoto: Specialized rides for newborns and parents
• Busmoto: Transportation for airline crews, cruise workers, and public health teams

These services are built on the same foundation: niche, high-quality transportation for individuals who are not being appropriately served by large rideshare platforms.

Nigel says, “We’re not trying to be everything to everyone. We just want to be the best for families.”

Built for Trust, Backed by Experience

Parents don’t have room for error when traveling. They need reliable, safe transportation—and they need it without hassle.

Kidmoto delivers that by doing what others won’t: putting families first.

With trained drivers, verified safety standards, and a founder who understands the stakes, Kidmoto is more than a service—it’s a solution.

In a rideshare market built for speed and scale, Kidmoto succeeds by slowing down and focusing on what matters: children’s safety and parents’ peace of mind.
