holiday to the UK - car seat questions

[Ca Plane Pour Moi]

What's a top tether? As you don't know how rhe seat will be treated on the flight, I'd buy ndw in the uk. You can buy a good baby car seat for under £100 then donate it afterwards if you like. Or borrow from friends.

Aussie seats are attached with a top tether strap - it comes from the top of the seat, and attaches onto the back of the actual car seat. We would need the car seat when we pick up the hire car, so won't be able to go buy one.

We had the same situation when we went on holiday to the UK. We ended up driving straight from the airport to Tesco to pick up a booster seat as it was going to cost around 200 pounds and the booster was 10 pounds. DS was a lot older though and not too far from being out of the booster all together. The car seat hire is a wrought frankly. But I think different companies have different car seat policies. Now we live in Scotland and usually book our hires through Arnold Clark (we didn't bother buying a car). They only charge 1 pound per day for a baby seat. So my advice would be to look around the car hire companies to see the best deal once you add in the seat.
