Sumario:This paper aims to analyze the relationship between the first child birth and parent´s attitude regarding the transportation mode choice. First child birth is pointed out in the literature as an important event in parents’ decision of which transportation mode to choose. This study analyzed the parents’ attitude regarding five variables related to travel before and after the first child birth. The data used were collected in households with children up to six years old. The results show that when there was no change in transportation mode after the child’s birth, there was no change in the parents’ attitude. This result allows to conclude that the child’s birth itself is not a sufficient condition for parent´s attitude change related to transportation mode choice.
