Child Safety Seat/Infant Seat
Alamo offers Child Safety seats for rental at an additional per day charge. These child seats are safety-approved for infants and toddlers that weigh up to 40 lbs.
Child safety seats must be requested at the time of reservation, at this time the child’s age may be requested.
In the United Kingdom, we offer one type of child seat, which is the Britax Freeway Child Seat, suitable for ages 9 months to 4 years. It is a forward facing seat which is to British Standards. All requests for a Child Seat must be stated at time of reservation.
***Change to UK Law Regarding Child Seats effective in the UK on 18th September 2006***
The law requires that children from their third birthday up to their 12th birthday or 135 cms/ 4′ 5″ in height (whichever is attained sooner) must be restrained in a suitable seat in the rear of the vehicle. The law states that it is the responsibility of the driver of the vehicle to comply.
For further information, see the UK Government Think! Road Safety website - www.thinkroadsafety.gov.uk
In order to help customers comply with these new laws in the UK, Alamo will be offering booster cushions for sale at the following locations:
* Heathrow Airport
* Gatwick Airport
* Edinburgh Airport
* Stansted Airport
* Glasgow Airport
* Prestwick Airport
* Manchester Airport
* Birmingham Airport
* Kings Cross
* Marble Arch
These will be subject to availability at time of rental.
We therefore recommend that parents use their own child seat wherever possible if they are hiring a vehicle.
