Child Car Seats and Transport Laws in Andalusia

Under Spanish law, children must use an approved child restraint system appropriate for their height and weight when travelling in private vehicles. However, standard municipal taxis are frequently exempt from carrying these seats when operating inside city limits.

The Highway Risk

Because the journey from Malaga to Gibraltar is a long-haul intercity route utilizing high-speed multi-lane motorways (like the AP-7), the exemption does not apply, and safely securing your child is absolutely paramount regardless.

Our Approach to Family Safety

Gib-Transfers takes child safety incredibly seriously:

1. Pre-Requested Seats: When booking online, simply specify the age, height, and weight of your child. We will ensure the vehicle arrives with the correct, legally compliant seating installed.
2. Sanitization Standards: All our child seats are thoroughly cleaned and sanitized between journeys.
3. Smooth Driving: The AP-7 toll option is selected by default for speed, but you can opt out during booking if you want a slower pace. Our drivers prioritize smooth, defensive driving to ensure children do not suffer motion sickness.
