Your child-friendly taxi service at Malaga Airport
Travelling with children can be challenging: they need to eat at the right time, rest properly and avoid long waits —just like adults!— but even more so. That’s why we make your transfer to your accommodation as smooth as possible. Upon arrival at Malaga Airport, your driver will be waiting for you in the arrivals hall as soon as your flight lands, holding a sign with your name. He will greet you and assist with your luggage.
The vehicle will already be equipped with the exact child seat you requested during your booking, so you won’t waste a single minute getting to your destination and will avoid queues or unnecessary delays. Our drivers are professional, experienced, and understand the needs of families travelling with infants and young children.
Rules when travelling with children in your private transfer
Although we know children often enjoy snacks during a journey, eating inside our vehicles is not permitted. This helps us maintain the highest standards of cleanliness and comfort for all our passengers. To avoid any inconvenience, we kindly ask that if any traveller needs a snack, it is eaten before the journey begins. We appreciate your understanding. Regarding drinks, only water is allowed inside the vehicle.
Types of child seats
At MarbeTaxi we strictly follow European regulations, and all our child seats are fully approved and certified. For this reason, even if you are used to different child seat models in your home country, please note that we must use the officially authorised Spanish/EU models, selected according to your child’s height, weight and the legally required direction of travel.
Group 0 – Infant Seat (0–9 kg)
Suitable for newborns up to approximately 6 months. Babies travel rear-facing with comfortable restraints that secure them safely inside the infant seat, which also includes an integrated safety harness.
Group 0 Infant seat for newborns up to 9kg.
Group 1 – Baby Seat (9–18 kg)
For babies from around 6 months to approximately 4 years old. This is the most versatile seat and many models (0–1) can even be adapted for newborns when fully reclined and fitted with newborn inserts. However, if the baby is over 6 months old and has reached the required height, they may continue to travel rear-facing. From age 3 onwards, and only if the child has reached the proper size and strength, they may travel forward-facing.
Group 1 Baby seat (9-18kg) adaptable and secure.
Group 2 – Child Seat (+15 kg)
Designed for children from around 4 years old. This is a high-back booster seat for children who already travel without harnesses, in the forward-facing position, using the vehicle’s own seat belt while still benefiting from proper back support.
Group 2 Child seat with back support.
Group 3 – Booster Seat (18–36 kg)
Suitable for children over 4 years old and up to around 12. These booster seats allow the child to travel forward-facing using the car’s seat belt, without the need for a backrest. Please note that under no circumstances may a child travel in the front seats.
Group 3 Booster seat for older children.
Conditions for Requesting Your Child Seat
MarbeTaxi vehicles are not required to carry child seats unless they have been requested in advance. During the booking process—whether through our homepage reservation form, email, or WhatsApp—you will be asked whether you are travelling with children and their ages. Each car seat has an additional cost of €3 per unit and per journey, which will be added to the final price.
FAQs – Child Seat Regulations in Spain
Is it allowed for children to travel in a taxi without a child seat?
In Spain, all children must always travel using their corresponding child seat. There is one exception: regular city taxis may transport children without a child seat only for urban journeys. Vehicles with a VTC licence (private transfers like MarbeTaxi) have no exceptions at all: children must always travel in their proper seat.
Can I insist, as a parent, that my child travels without a child seat?
No. If you did not request it, the driver may refuse the service. In the event of a police inspection, the fine is €200, payable immediately, and the legal responsibility falls entirely on the parent.
I have several children — do I need to request multiple child seats?
Yes. We provide all the required child seats at €3 per seat. Note: in a row of three, two child seats plus another passenger will not fit. If you need two child seats and carry two adults, you must book a minivan.
Can I request a child seat similar to the ones used in my country?
If your country belongs to the EU, there is no need to worry as standards are common. Otherwise, we follow the Spanish DGT (Dirección General de Tráfico) regulations based on European safety standards. Your child will travel safe with MarbeTaxi.
Kind Regards,
