What kind of child seats are available?

Most rental suppliers offer three standard types of safety seats based on your child's weight. 
While specific brands can vary a bit by location, you can easily request the perfect seat for your little one's safe travels!

Step-by-Step Guide:

1Identify the Right Seat

Depending on your little one's weight, you can easily choose a Baby Seat.

  • Baby Seat: For infants from birth to ~1 year (0-13 kg)
  • Child Seat: For toddlers, typically ~1-3 years (9-18 kg)
  • Booster Seat: For older children (15-45 kg)
2Make a Request

You can happily add a child seat during your online booking, or anytime before your trip, right through the "Manage Booking" section on our website.

3Pay at the Desk

You'll simply pay for the seat directly at the rental counter in the local currency.

4Install it Safely

To make sure your little one is perfectly secure, local agents usually ask that you install the seat yourself. 
This just helps them follow standard safety and liability guidelines!

Expectation:

"I added a child seat to my online booking, so it's fully reserved and waiting for me."

Reality:

Child seats are wonderfully helpful "Optional Extras" that are provided based on the local supplier's daily stock. While the local teams do everything they can to have them ready, requesting one early is the best way to help them prepare!

Expectation:

"The rental car will definitely have ISOFIX points for the seat."

Reality:

Since you are booking a car category rather than a specific model, the availability of ISOFIX points can vary a bit depending on the exact car assigned to you on the day of pick-up.

Expectation:

"I paid for my car online, so the child seat is already paid for too."

Reality:

Your online payment does a great job covering the rental cost! Optional extras like child seats are simply paid directly to the local supplier when you arrive at the desk.

💡 Did You Know?

You are always more than welcome to bring your own child seat
Airlines usually let you check them for free, and bringing your own is a fantastic way to ensure you have a seat that fits your child perfectly and that you already know exactly how to install.

What To Do Next:

If you'd like to request a seat, just head over to the "Manage Booking" page to easily add it to your reservation as early as possible. 
If you need a specific type (like a rear-facing seat), please feel free to reach out to our support team so we can pass a special note along to the supplier!
