I never sow one with it, but I guess that if you order taxy by phone you can try ask for it, although for short distances, ie arround Barcelona - no way. But for longer trips must have. I guess

Hi,
There are some modern taxis of the 6 seater type which have fitted booster seats that pull out in the back. There are probably not that many vehicles like this though. Within the city, you are not required to use a seat in a taxi as they have a special waver. Obviously you may still want to use one for your child's safety.

Does anyone know of a phone number of a taxi company that actually has these booster seats or some sort of carseat rental? I've been saying (for years!) that they should set something up AT LEAST for airport rides where you are actually on the highway and both adults and children should be buckled up by law.
Although, no taxi driver has ever given us grief about not having a car seat, they do ask you to buckle up going to the airport.
I would definitely patronize a company that had car seats available!

There is a company called taxi van barcelona 93 114 0561. You can actually book the larger taxis from them which is handy for luggage and prams space. They all have the booster seat although I would say beforehand that you need one in case I am wrong. I don't know what age they are good for though. I imagine from whatever age children no longer need specific chairs for their weight. 3 + ?

Child Seats and city taxis 9 Months ago  
Although still something of a grey area, taxis are required to carry children in car seats. If you do not have one with you, do not be surprised if a driver is not willing to take you. The reason that some taxistas do accept children without them is that the police are generally lenient when it comes to taxis. Obviously, for children's safety, you should travel with a car seat at all times. Babies of any age also count as an onboard passenger and wil,therefore, count towards the 4 passenger limit.
