They will also be made to undergo online training and verification to make sure that they are equip with relevant knowledge on how to install a child seat in compliance with Gojek’s requirements.

All of the child seats that are used in GoCar Kids and GoCar XL Kids services should come from a Gojek-approved brand that also meet one or more of the standards approved by the Traffic Police 2. This is the company’s way of giving its consumers complete peace of mind when travelling with Gojek.

The launch of GoCar Kids and GoCar XL Kids is also expected to bring increased earning opportunities for Gojek’s driver-partners.
