We definitely need this. I like the angle of parent-to-parent , a new definition of P2P sharing :) Are you out in all geos? Curious to know how you handle things like safety, trust, liability and last but not least, timeliness

@rameshdot0 Thank you Ramesh for the comments/questions. Started building this app after a chaotic afternoon attempting to kids from school to soccer practice. After being stuck in pickup line, I had to hunt through about 20 emails to find out who else was riding with us that day...while getting on shinguards and tying shoes and trying to remember where the soccer practice address was written down... I am sure many can relate. We built Kid CarPool to take the chaos out of carpooling. App is available on both iOS and Android in all geos for simplifying carpool scheduling for families and groups within your current network. Our goal is to make things easier by having alll key information in one place - reminders such as time to leave, time for pick up and notification letting everyone in the group know kids have arrived, etc. It is also hard to carpool when you don't know who to carpool with so we are partnering with schools and after school organizations to help us make those introductions while ensuring safety is maintained within trusted communities. This feature is not currently in all geos - happy to add locations to the list based on request. It takes a village to raise a child and build a product – please keep commenting and sending ideas/suggestions. Have a great day!

Kid Carpool is a wonderful concept: Families need the convenience of app-based scheduling, notifications, location detail, but they don't want to relinquish their kids to strangers. I've been privileged to follow Danielle's (@socalledventure)'s journey. She's an inspiring entrepreneur, bringing to the effort the insight of a practiced nanny and the enthusiasm of a kid.

What's your process for vetting "parents" ? Other than that, a fantastic idea !

@roryoo great question! We are introducing parents with other parents whose children attend the same school/afterschool program or sports team. Parents are confirmed by the organization/team and by other parents. Parents are provided suggestions within the closed, vetted community of families they can start a carpool with.

Like the concept. Saw something similar in Malta (Europe) https://schools.bumalift.com/sch...

@thewhizkids Hi Lewis and thanks for the positive feedback on concept and info on Malta product for school pools. In creating KCP, we really wanted to empower parents for all ride needs including already existing carpools as well after school/weekend activities, which, for me, it has been the after school/weekend times that are the hardest. Doesn't feel too good to make one child leave early from their game to make sure other child makes it to part of theirs! Thanks for reaching out :-)
