Malaga Airport Taxi with car seats powered by MarbeTaxi.
In Spain, the law requires all vehicles—without exception—to use an appropriate child car seat for babies and children during any intercity road travel. There is a minor exception: regular city taxis are not required to use car seats for journeys within the same city. However, for your child’s safety, we strongly recommend that you always travel following proper safety guidelines and request the necessary car seats in advance.
Spain car seat laws taxi
In Spain, child car seats are grouped based on the child’s size and weight. The main categories are as follows:
Infant seat – Group 0
For newborns and infants from 0 to 9 kg or up to 6 months old. The classic “maxicosy” style, with head support for your baby and secure yet comfortable rear-facing installation. Provided for just €3 per trip.
Baby seat – Group 1
For babies over 6 months or weighing between 9 and 18 kg. Based on your child’s size and your preference, the seat can be installed rear-facing or forward-facing. It includes built-in safety harnesses and is secured to the vehicle’s Isofix anchors. Also just €3 per trip.
Child seat – Group 2
For children weighing between 15 and 18 kg, typically around 4 years old. A booster with back support that uses the vehicle’s seatbelt for restraint. Priced at €3 per trip.
Booster seat
For children over 18 kg up to 36 kg (approx. 4–12 years old). A standard booster that uses the car’s seatbelt for safety. €3 per trip.
Malaga Airport Taxi with car seats: Frequent Questions
Below you’ll find answers to the most common questions about using child car seats when visiting Malaga.
Do taxis in Spain have child seats?
Only if requested in advance. Spanish law does not require regular taxis to carry child seats unless pre-booked. While it’s legal to travel within city limits without a car seat, intercity travel requires a proper, approved child seat at all times.
How to book a taxi with child seat?
MarbeTaxi will provide the car seat you need as long as you request it in advance when making your booking. Simply tell us your child’s age and weight. Whether you’re arriving at Malaga Airport or being picked up at your hotel, your driver will bring the seat you’ve requested.
Do you need a car seat for holiday transfers?
As mentioned earlier, Spanish law does not allow children to travel between towns without an appropriate child car seat. Police are strict and may fine guardians for non-compliance.
Should I always reserve the baby seat in advance?
Yes, always. For your child’s safety, MarbeTaxi drivers are trained to provide the correct seat only when it has been pre-booked. They will not begin the journey without the required seat.
What is the cost of each baby seat?
€3 per seat, per trip. This small fee ensures we can always offer the correct, clean, and well-maintained seat for your child.
Can my child sit in the front seat?
Only if they do not require a car seat. Children under 12 or under 36 kg must always be seated in the back using a proper child seat.
