Arriving at Ljubljana airport with children is manageable. LJU is a smaller international airport, which usually means less walking.
The airport experience with kids
Baby changing facilities are located in the women's restrooms. The airport lends prams free of charge at check-in for departing passengers. Food options may be limited at off-hours, so bring snacks for younger children.

Child seats
According to the national road safety agency (AVP), a child under 140 cm or lighter than 36 kg must travel in a suitable child safety seat. Standard taxis do not necessarily carry child seats. If you need one, request it when booking a private transfer and confirm the seat type matches your child's age and size. If you bring your own car seat, tell the provider in advance. Check the current rule with AVP before you travel.
Choosing the right vehicle
For a family with a stroller and several suitcases, a standard car can be tight. Tell the provider the number of passengers and bags when booking so the right vehicle type is assigned.
Bus vs transfer with kids
The public bus is the lowest-cost option, but with a stroller, bags and children it may be less convenient. Check the current timetable and fare on the airport bus page, and remember the bus has no child seats.
Timing matters
If you can, arrive during the day, when shops and services are open. For evening arrivals, a pre-booked transfer with a confirmed pickup plan removes uncertainty.
The practical approach
Book a private transfer with a child seat request, confirm the seat type in your booking, and choose a larger vehicle if you have several children or heavy luggage.

When a private transfer from LJU 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 Ljubljana City Center is from €83, about €21 per person, usually level with or below separate public-transport tickets once you count the walk, the wait and the last mile with bags.
