To HAM with a child seat: safe and relaxed travel
Getting to the airport with children is often the first hurdle of any trip. Public transport with a stroller, suitcases and a tired toddler is exhausting, and a regular taxi rarely carries a suitable child seat. This is exactly where a private airport transfer to Hamburg Airport (HAM) in Fuhlsbüttel helps you: you state which child seat you need when booking, and the driver brings the right one along. That way your child sits safely and correctly secured from your front door all the way to the terminal.
Which child seat options are available?
When you book through our partner Kiwitaxi, you can choose the child seat based on your child's age and weight. Usually there are three options:
- Infant carrier for the smallest ones from birth to about 13 kilograms, rear-facing and ideal for newborns.
- Child seat for toddlers from roughly 9 to 18 kilograms with a harness and solid side protection.
- Booster seat for older children from about 15 kilograms, so the regular seatbelt sits correctly.
If you are travelling with several children, you can book several seats together. Simply state in the booking form how many and which type you need. When in doubt, choose a slightly larger vehicle so that child seats, stroller and luggage all fit comfortably.
How the transfer to Hamburg Airport works
Hamburg Airport lies about 8.5 kilometres north of the city centre in Hamburg-Fuhlsbüttel and has two terminals with a shared plaza between them. From most districts such as Eppendorf, Winterhude, Eimsbüttel or Niendorf you are there within a few minutes, and from the city centre around the Rathaus and Jungfernstieg in about 20 minutes. Your driver picks you up right at your door, the child seat is already installed, and you drive to the correct terminal without a stopover and without changing vehicles.
The price is fixed at the time of booking, with no taximeter, and starts from 98 €. There are no surcharges for luggage or a stroller. Vehicles are available from an economy car to a minibus for 1 to 19 people, ideal for large families or a trip together with the grandparents.

Practical tips for the ride with children
Be sure to enter your flight number when booking. That way a possible delay is taken into account and the driver adjusts the pickup time. For an early flight from HAM, plan a little buffer and keep snacks, a cuddly toy and a spare bodysuit within reach in your hand luggage. The stroller can usually come along as special luggage, so fold it up before the ride. The available payment methods and the binding terms are shown during the booking process. This turns the journey to Hamburg Airport into a relaxed start to your family trip.
