Car hire and child seats should<\/em> be a match made in heaven. Yet the car rental industry on the whole has a very bad reputation for child seats, and unfortunately, often with good reason. We are in and out of all of the car rental companies at Dublin Airport so we\u2019ve outlined a few things to watch out for below.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

To be open and honest, we partner with Sixt, Enterprise and Dooley\u2019s, which means we provide them with clean, safety checked car seats and installation guides. Biased declared, they have the best car seats of all the car rentals!<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Infant Seats<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

You are not guaranteed<\/em> an infant seat by any of them (except our partners). Hertz don\u2019t have any at all, Avis, Budget, and Europcar stock very few. The seat you will get, if you get one, is a very basic, bucket-style seat. It is unlikely to have any head support cushions, harness pads or isofix base.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

When you ask for a baby seat, most of the staff will say \u2018yes\u2019. This is because \u2018baby seat\u2019 is often used as a generic term <\/em>in Ireland, interchangeable with child seat. You need to be very clear; you want a seat for a baby of X months, rear facing etc. Even at that, don\u2019t hold your breath.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Be specific; baby seat can be understand as a generic term.
