Main issue would be car seats. Uber offers the option to request a car seat in a few metros, but besides those you'll have to bring your own. I imagine most Uber drivers wouldn't be all that happy waiting for your to install and uninstall car seat(s). Additionally, you'll have to be going to somewhere you can store your car seat when you get there.

Once you get out of car seats and into booster seats, I could see it as pretty workable. Booster seats aren't all that big and are simple to install. But in CA kids need to be at least 8 years old and over 40 pounds before you can use a booster seat.

Most infant car seats can be installed without the base in a car and typically connect with various lightweight (snap and go) strollers making portability via ride-share easy. There are one or two convertible car seat/lightweight stroller combos (for toddlers) that are very popular with urban parents who need to use ride shares. They are also useful when you travel via airplane. For example the Cosco Scenera car seat and the Mountain Buggy Nano stroller. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4LotN7k5T2Q)
