Hi,
I'm off to Salou on Monday Morning for 5 nights with my husband and 7 month old daughter. Just wondering two things ................
1. Does anyone know if the supermarkets sell Milupa Aptimal 1 Milk ?
2. Does anyone know if it is possible to get a car seat for her in a taxi at the airport.
I'd really appreciate any info anyone can give me re this as it would put my mind at rest.

Thanks

I took all our baby milk last year and was glad i did as they nly seem to sell SMA. Phone milupa as they can usually tell you what their milk is called abroad.

I can't help about car seats as I always take my own.

Babies Abroad

We are taking my 7 month old granddaughter in May to Salou and was wondering how easy this will be for us. Do the shops sell all the relevant baby essentials, such as : nappies, wipes, food, nappy sacks etc or will we need to take everything with us?

We are also wondering if we will be able to obtain a stroller whilst over there. We do not currently have one and Brooke's pushchair is far too big to take with us. Should we buy one here and take it with us? I guess this is probably the best solution but just wondered what others have done.

Thanks very much for all your help.

Hi,
Pampers is called Dodot in Salou/spain, im not sure how much the nappies are but the wipes were not that expensive. Food was easy to come by most supermarkets stocked it.
As for a stroller, it may be wise to get one here if the prices are anything like the reins i had to buy a few years back, my sons had snapped and needed some more, we searched for them and finally found some chicco ones, we paid £22 for them :shock:

worth about £5 back home.
I am sure that here was a topic in the Tips and advice thread about taking babies abroad, if i remember rightly it had loads of useful info.

We travelled with Thomsons who provided sterilisers and strollers in our hotel (was a superfamily one). Personally seeing as Strollers are so cheap, I would get one. A decent parasol on it and you'll be fine.

Most supermarkets have what you are looking for. I just took nappies with me as it meant I had room for on the journey home for the souveniers.

Thanks for all your help. I have decided to buy a stroller but it is good to know that we will be able to buy all the rest of the items in the local shops there, we already take 4 suitcases, not sure my hubby would appreciate another one to carry he he

Only 7 weeks to go, can't wait.

Thanks again for all your help.

Baby Car Seats.

Hi, Is anyone abe to tell me what the position is with baby car seats, are they required by law in Spain, or do they not bother. I am going to Callela with my daughter and her *month baby and we don't know if we have to take one for our journey to and from the airport.

I hope someone can help me with this. Thanks in advance.

BABIES ABROAD

Hi, I'm heading to Saluo in August and I am taking my 1 year old with me.
Wanted to know should I bring a travel cot with me or do most hotels have them. I heard a few reports saying that the ones they supply are death traps. Thanks for any help.

Worried!

I cant comment on all Hotels but the cots ive used abroad have all been fine, maybe the matresses on some could have been a bit better but its covered with a sheet anyway.
Dont forget if you do decide to take a travel cot, it will be counted as part of your luggage so it will leave you with less weight for other baby essentials and clothes.
I suppose its down to what you feel comfortable doing.
Why dont you try to E-mail the Hotel you are staying at and ask if the cots they use have to pass safety standards.
