    CHILD SEATS (3-6 months to 3 years)

  • We offer Universal Child Seats Free of Charge - but can not guarantee availability, so you must ask to reserve one when you book. Maximum 2 per vehicle.
  • Our supplied Universal Child Seats are for Children between 3-6months and 3-3.5 years old.
  • Only our own Child seats will be fitted by the driver, who will also inspect and check that all seats are secure before commencing any journey.
  • We are more than happy for you to supply your own seat, and are happy to store* clients seats between journeys if you are not wanting to use them on your flight / hire-car / onward journey.
  • Stored Seats must be labelled with name and address and return date - prior to journey date, so that we can easily identify them and bring them on your return..
  • We will not be able to store seats for one way journeys, and cannot 'deliver' them back after a journey.
  • All our vehicles are fitted with inertia seat belts and can take most car seats designed for seat belts.
  • Some of our larger vehicles also have ISOFIX seat fittings so you can bring and fit your own ISOFIX child seat/s for most journeys.
  • Please ask which ISOFIX ready vehicles we have available when you book.
  • Our drivers will expect clients (parents/carer) to fit their own seats.
  • Please mention in the 'special request' section of our booking form that you will be supplying your own chair, and the time and date of return journey for your seat's return.

Please note that supplied seats may not be in a perfect or 'new' condition - bear in mind that they are used often by different children.
Our supplied Child Seats are checked over regulary to ensure that they are still safe to use and certainly safer than not using a Child seat at all. If in doubt please use your own seats.
We do not take any responsibility as to the condition of clients chairs, and strongly suggest that only 'NEW' seats with a BS Kite mark or equivalent, are used in our vehicles.
If your seat is second hand or old, you may find a local government sponsored road safety team in your 'Yellow pages' or Thomson Local' phone book, who will inspect it for safety. - there may be a fee for this.

INFANT or BABY SEATS (under 3months)

  • Unfortunately we do not supply seats for infants under 3 months. There a various reasons for this, including Hygiene problems - as a parent you probably understand.
  • You may supply your own Infant or baby seat, on the same conditions as for supplying your own Child Seats.

BOOSTER SEATS (Over 3years)

  • We do not offer booster seats or booster chairs for children over 3.5 years.
  • Children over three years may use the lap belt part of our vehicle's inertia seat belts quite legally.
  • You may supply your own child's booster, on the same conditions as for supplying your own Child Seats.
