holiday to the UK - car seat questions

Ok. Sounds safer than the removable backs we have. But you can get a cheap seat from supermarkets or halfords, so one parent does the car pickup and gets the seat while the other does the luggage. Or check other hires, as that is extortionate. Where are you flying into?

That's a good idea - for one of you to pick up the car and go and grab a seat. You could pre-order it in some places (e.g. Argos). Depends which airport you are flying into.

We're flying into Manchester.
What age do kids need to be in booster seats too? My older daughter will be 7, (and as tall as an 8 year old already) - will she need a booster? For DS, we have a fold up booster, so will be taking that from here. Not sure if we need to take one for the eldest though.

It is 135cm or 12 years so they do need to be quite tall. My DS is 7 and out of a seat but he is close to 140cm. So if she is shorter than that she will need a booster. Pity you are not flying into Edinburgh or Glasgow as you could have had ours!

Thanks! We have two fold up booster seats, so will take those, and my friend is going to borrow one for the baby and meet us at the airport with it. So all sorted!
