Question:
We dont want to take our travel system for our 8 month baby to spain, but have a 40min taxi transfer from the airport. Can a baby travel in a taxi in spain without a car seat? Or do the taxi firms supply these?

Why don't we regulate the glare that's reflected from cars?
Its hilarious that even the booster seats can't be enrorced by police in the U.K. because it is illegal for an officer of the law to measure a child!!
I gotta law and go-kart question.?
I've travelled many times in Spanish taxi's being overloaded, too many passengers, kids in the back etc.
What are the best things to keep in my car incase of emergencies?
Actually, Spain was one of the first countries to have these laws applicable, I remember back in '94 children travelling in taxis were subject to E.U. law of seatbelts and riding in the rear.
Its up to you, personally I'd take my own, (inconvienient I know) Spanish road safety is amongst the worst in Europe.
Idiot driver.Should I have called the police?
For the hassle...? come on you know its better to bring your own.
What exactly does it mean at the gas station when they say "do not top off"?
You'll be lucky if a taxi in Spain has seatbelts never mind a child's car seat! They do not need car seats for children in taxis; 'QUE?!'Put it this way, the responsible attitude to the smoking ban in Spain is signs in restaurants saying 'Se permite fumar'.

I travel extensively all over the world. Nowhere in my travels have a seen a taxi that provided a car-seat for infants.At what age can they be set free from a car seat.?
Spain was one of the last countries in Europe that mandated seat-belts in the rear seats. Most taxis on the road now do have rear seat seat-belts. They don't seem to get a lot of use and some of them are in a deplorable state of cleanliness.
Do you think that people 60 and over should re-take their driving tests???
If you want your child to be safe, bring your car-seat. In most cases you can use it on the flight as well, providing added protection for your child. When you get to the airport, just reject any taxi that doesn't have rear seat-belts or has belts in unacceptable condition. The taxi dispatcher (and driver) may give you some grief but you do have the right to reject a cab that you do not feel is safe for you and your child.
Many of the airport taxis are Mercedes, especially at Madrid. They all have rear seat-belts, even the older ones, as do most other European brands such as Fords, Opels, VWs, Peugeots, Citroens, etc. Only the older Seats will likely be missing the rear belts and there aren't a lot of them left on the road today -- their crap quality actually helps you there.
