[Lifestyle] An inside look at Uber's new feature for the next generation of riders

[HICHEM]

Ride-sharing company Uber is launching a new service for teenagers in several major cities and "Good Morning America" has an exclusive look with one family who has been testing out the service.

Ruth Stern is a mom of two and like many parents, she usually has to figure out the different transportation needs each family member requires for their busy schedules.

"One kid needs to be picked up from school. Another kid needs to get to an activity. There's a doctor's appointment that you didn't anticipate, so it's a constant juggle," Stern told ABC News consumer correspondent Becky Worley.

So when the opportunity came up recently, Stern decided to give Uber's pilot program for teenagers a try.

"I couldn't be two places at once and I could get my child home safely from a location and still be with my other child," Stern said.

Stern used the pilot program from Uber to get a ride for her 15-year-old daughter Izzy while she herself went to drive her 10-year-old son to one of his activities.

Stern and her family have so far been a part of the pilot program for a few months.

Uber's new service for teens will let parents create a family profile and add teen family members to their account.
