Traveling to Barcelona with a baby

1.) Odd question... why shouldn't it be? We also have babies you know, LOL! You can find infant formula in pharmacies and most supermarkets. As per brands, since nowadays the major companies are global, you can find similar products from these same companies -albeit they might have different product brands.

2.) There are taxis with car seats for infants, but since it's not required for innercity travelling, most do not carry it. Keep in mind the airport is barely 12km from the city and part of the itinerary is inside the city limits. Should you be adamant on that, you can always pre-book a taxi. These are the biggest companies... if you pre-book, make sure you specify your request: Taxi Class Rent tel.933070707 www.taxiclassrent.com ||| Barnataxi tel. 933222222 www.barnataxi.com ||| Ràdio Taxi 033 tel.933033033 www.radiotaxi033.com ||| Servi-Taxi tel.933 300 300 www.servitaxi.com ||| Taxi Ecològic tel.932783000 http://taxiecologic.com ||| Taxi Amic tel.934208088 www.taxi-amic-adaptat.com ||| Fono-Taxi tel.933001100 http://www.fonotaxi.net/ -not sure if all of them will cater you on this. You will soon understand why when you arrive here... there's really no need in short urban fares.

Thanks for the reply! Of course you guys have babies, haha! I thought maybe they don't eat purées and other junior food as much as North American babies. Some cultures go right into eating what adults eat.

As for cabs, were traveling to the Fairmont which I believe is a little outside the city. Do you know if this requires highway driving?

Thanks again! :)

Daa'ling, there are nearly 400 hotels in the city and metro area... where the heck is that hotel? :))))

As per formulas, so you have an idea... these are some examples you can find... maybe you recognize a few: https://www.farmaciamarket.es/leche-para-recien-nacidos

In Catalan, the local language, you'd ask for a "fòrmula infantil" (roughly: "for-moo-lah-een-fan-teal") or also "llet de fòrmula" ("lee-et-duh-for-moo-lah") -the later in Spanish is "leche infantil"

Hopefully this link works!!

... Ah, yes, I know this hotel. It's at the entrance of the city. Check this map, see the yellow diagonal line appropriately named "Diagonal" (Avenue)? Your hotel is at the left-most end. I honestly wouldn't go thru the hassle of pre-booking, it's far easier just to grab the first cab in the line outside the airport. What most visitors with infants do is to carry them on their arms because it's a short ride from the airport -very short in your case, maybe 20' traffic-permitting. Yes there's a short stretch of highway but due to its proximity to the city the speed cars can travel is not the same than in the highway elsewhere.

Btw, your hotel happens to be right in front of the rose park, Parc de Cervantes... and you're visiting at the "right" time for it. It's a public park -so free entrance. You might want to drop by.... Also, at a stone throw away from there you have the gardens of Palau de Pedralbes.

Great information!! Thank you!! I've had a lot going on so haven't looked into it much. Good to know with a baby that there's some nice outdoor space nearby! And great info on taxis. I've been debating boxing up our car seat and taking it with us. I won't go through the hassle.

... did you "click" on the links above, in my last post? (the words in blue) :)))
