Are taxis car-seat friendly?

Most taxis in Hong Kong do not carry child seats. If you need one, you are better off using the MTR or booking a private 'baby-seat' car service in advance.

Can I find baby formula and diapers easily?

Yes, Mannings or Watsons are on almost every street corner and are fully stocked with international and local baby supplies.

Navigating Hong Kong with Children

Use the Octopus card for seamless travel on the MTR and ferries, and prioritize stroller-friendly routes by using the extensive network of elevators and footbridges. Keep kids entertained by balancing high-energy city exploration with frequent stops in the city's surprisingly abundant public playgrounds.

Get an Octopus card immediately. Purchase a physical Octopus card at the airport MTR desk or download the mobile version. It works for all public transport and can be used at 7-Eleven stores to buy snacks quickly when kids get cranky.
Master the MTR's accessible routes. Check the 'MTR System Map' specifically for elevator icons. Almost all stations have lifts, but they aren't always near the main entrance; look for the signs or follow the elevator path to avoid carrying strollers up stairs.
Navigate the Mid-Levels with the Escalator. The Central-Mid-Levels Escalator is a lifesaver for hills. It's a series of moving walkways that take you up the steep incline, making it easy to reach restaurants and parks without tiring out little legs.
Use the ferry as a cheap attraction. Skip expensive harbor cruises. Take the Star Ferry between Tsim Sha Tsui and Central. It costs about 5 HKD and kids love the open-air experience of being on the water.
