The child seat issue
Do not count on a taxi at the rank having a child seat. If your child needs a car seat, book a private transfer and request the seat during booking, giving the child's age and weight so the company provides the right type. Bringing your own seat is also an option, but it means more luggage to manage.
Heading to Costa Brava resorts?
Many families fly into GRO to reach beach towns on the Costa Brava. Aena lists Sagalés and Moventis coach lines to Costa Brava towns, but check the timetables for your destination. A private transfer, quoted at booking, can be the more practical choice with children and luggage because it goes door-to-door.
Barcelona with kids
The direct Sagalés coach to Barcelona Nord takes about 75 minutes (EUR 35 return). With small children, compare it with a private transfer quote, especially if you have a lot of luggage.
Tips for families
- Pre-book transfers with child seats and do not leave this to chance
- Bring snacks and water for the journey
- If renting a car, reserve child seats with the rental company in advance

When a private transfer from GRO is the right choice
- Travelling with small children: child seats are requested at booking for the exact ages, so you are not relying on a taxi that may have none.
- Strollers, cots and luggage: a minivan takes everything in one go, door to door, with no stairs or platform changes.
- Three or more people: a 4-seat car to Girona City Center is from €72, about €18 per person, usually level with or below separate public-transport tickets once you count the walk, the wait and the last mile with bags.

Luggage space can be limited when the coach is busy. Check the operator's rules for strollers and bags.
Can I request a child seat with a private transfer?
