car seats allowed on easyjet?

[LoupiLu]

Hi, I live in Spain and will be travelling back to the UK in a few weeks with my two girls (1 & 3). On the times I have rented a car seat back in the UK they have been terrible compared to my own, not to mention expensive. Can anyone tell me if Easyjet will allow me to check in a car seat to put into the hold, and if so, what is the charge? It's hard to find out on their website. Many thanks in advance.

Hi Loupilou

I have just flown with flyglobespan and they allow you to take 2 pieces of equipment per child free of charge ie travel cot, buggy, car seat.

We bubble wrapped the car seat and put it in the hold, it was fantastic like you I had a really poor carseat from avis and it cost about £40!

I am sure easyjet will be the same, but give them a phone just to check!

Hi Katyjo,

thanks for the message-will call them to check as advised.

more than two infants per accompanying person are allowed. Infants under two weeks of age will not be accepted for travel. Children aged two years or over must occupy their own seat and pay the same fares as adults. It is the accompanying person's responsibility to ensure that the minor is adequately secured into the aircraft seat. To this end easyJet will accept a car seat supplied by the accompanying person for any child over six months for whom an airline seat has been purchased, provided that the car seat has a rigid metal or plastic frame, is no wider than 42cm, includes lap, shoulder and crotch straps, and is upright and forward facing. The required restraint device for the age of the infant is detailed below: Between 2 weeks - less than 6 months: infant/extension seat/safety belt. Between 6 months to less than 2 years: infant/extension seat or suitable car-type safety seat. Between 2 years to less than 3 years: any suitable car-type safety seat or seat/safety belt 3 years or more: seat/safety belt. If an adult is travelling with more than one infant under the age of two years, but no less than six months, one infant may sit on the accompanying adult's lap and the other infant(s) must occupy separate seats and be seated in a car seat in accordance with the above table. An adult with two or more infants aged six months or less cannot be accepted for travel. A child between the ages of two and three years may be seated in a car seat in accordance with the above table. yes you can

Loupilou, we always put DS1 booster seat and DS2 full car seat in the hold when we fly - including with easyjet. We don't pay extra for them to go in the hold either - i.e. they are taken in addition to our pre-paid luggage without further charge. So if you are booking your tickets online, you only need to put in the actual number of suitcases/bags you are taking in the hold and do not include buggy/car seats.
