Coming to UK for a holiday from Australia - can I hire baby equipment?

Hi I am a Brit living in Australia, now coming back for our first holiday back in Blighty (YAY!!@!). But need to hire some baby equipment - ie CAR SEATS for 2 yr old and 6 month old. It's easy peasy over here and seems to be very common, does anyone know of anywhere that hires that kind of thing in the UK? Preferably in the Cheltenham/Gloucestershire area.
Thanks x

Will you be renting a car, if so, I would think that most companies, if not all, actually offer carseats...but I might be wrong...!

Also, maybe your family could borrow carseats for you...or they could try Freecycle...

Small talk

Classic Kids (not sure if it is near enough)

few here

Other than car seats, perhaps family could buy second hand from the free ads or charity shop then sell on after for you, might be a bit cheaper than hiring anyway.

Would imagine that you could get the car seats from car hire companies, but that is as long as you are renting a car. Just need to make sure you get the right type for their ages.

Agree that its really easy to do this in Oz, we hired some baby stuff when we went a few years ago with a 2 year old and a 6 month old.

Scramble that's really helpful, thank you so much. We will be hiring a car for a short while but mostly will be using my parents car so need seats for that.
