If your child needs a car seat, pre-book a transfer and request it during the reservation, giving each child's age and weight.
Using the Metro M4 with kids
All M4 stations have lifts and escalators, which makes strollers easy to manage. Children up to 14 travel free on ATM services; adults pay the EUR 2.20 ordinary ticket, valid for 90 minutes.
ATM gives about 12 minutes from the centre to Linate on the M4. The last train leaves Linate at 00:26, and overnight NM4 buses replace the trains, so late arrivals with children are better served by a transfer.
If you have a stroller and several bags, a pre-booked transfer avoids the metro gates and changes between lines.
Practical family tips
- Tell the provider your luggage. Give group size, strollers and bags when booking so the right vehicle is assigned.
- Keep the child seat request in the booking notes. Specify age and weight for each child.

When a private transfer from LIN 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 Milan City Center is from €128, about €32 per person, usually level with or below separate public-transport tickets once you count the walk, the wait and the last mile with bags.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do Milan taxis have child seats?
Do not count on a child seat in a Milan taxi. Request a child seat when you pre-book a transfer and confirm it in your booking.
Can I take a stroller on the Metro M4?
Yes. All M4 stations have lifts and the trains have space for strollers. Avoid peak rush hours for a more comfortable ride.
Do kids ride free on Milan public transport?
Children up to 14 travel free on ATM services (ATM tariff January 2026).
Is Linate or Malpensa better for families?
Linate is much better for families — smaller terminal, shorter walks, closer to the city, and a direct metro line. Malpensa is 50 km away and requires a long train or bus ride.
