Car Seat / Pushchair Help!

4 replies

Hi, help please with our first family holiday.
Our son will be 20 months old and we will be going on our first family holiday next year.

Is there a pushchair and car seat combo I can buy/borrow/hire to take with us?

His current car seat is fixed into the car and wouldn’t fit to a pushchair and he’s too big for an infant carrier so I’ve no idea what to do!

We will need a car seat for transfer from the airport and taxis when we are away. He will be sat on my knee on the plane for the 2 hour flight. Any advice much appreciated!

We had a stroller for travelling. A brand called yoyo. Great size. Easy to resell then kid grew to big

We had a car seat only for travelling.. Luggage/bags aren't treated well by airlines so we only used it for holidays.

We had a cheap stroller once dd was that age.. For car transfers from airport we pre-booked a car-seat. Will you be doing lots of taxi trips?

At that age we had a Maclaren buggy, can't remember the model but it was slightly reclining so DD still could nap in it.

Car seat - we took our stage 1 with us all the time. After one disaster where a booked and confirmed seat was not available and it took hours to sort out, it's just not worth trying to hire one.

We had a large bag and strapped towels and coats around it.

No, I don’t think so and that seems to be the point from what I can see. We can get a car seat for the transfer and once we arrive, everything is within walking distance really so I think we’ll go for a cheap stroller like you say. Just so many new things to think about!

thanks everyone for your responses!
