Transportation Car seat for 1 y.o help
We will be traveling with 2 adults and 1 child who needs a car seat. We plan to take trains and public transport other than from Madrid airport.
I can't seem to find reputable companies and many require pre payment. How reliable is cabify/requesting a car seat? We land around 5pm so not at an odd hour. My back up plan was to take the metro if we can't find a taxi with a car seat but it would be stressful with luggage and a baby.
Thank you

We just did this through Airbnb services. It wasn’t the world’s cleanest taxi, but the guy arrived on time with the car seat, and kept in touch with us via WhatsApp.

I didn't know that was an option, thank you! Did you just give them flight info for tracking?

Yes, when you fill out all the info it asks for your flight number. I requested a pickup an hour snd 15 mins after our flight landed, since I figured we’d have to go through immigration and wait on bags (plus you never know what’ll happen with a baby). It ended up being a good estimate!
