Car Seats

[Hev&Steve]

Can anybody help?

We have my son and daughter-in-law flying into Lamezia in June, with two young children, both who will require the use of car-seats. The problem is, they will find it very difficult to manage two children (one of whom is disabled), luggage, buggies and car seats.

To cut down on what they have to bring, if anyone has a car seat or two available for use between 25th June and 3rd July, it would be appreciated. Heather and myself are in Scalea from the 22nd June to 4th July, so we would be able to pick the seat up.

We are also in Scalea from 18th April until 25th April, 18th May until 28th May, and then the June dates, so would be able to collect, if available between these dates.

Failing that, does anyone know where we could buy them from, either in Scalea or surrounding areas, and any idea of cost?

Thank you Steve

Hi Heather & Steve
Hope you are both well, we will see you there this time!
We are out on the 27th June.
I don't know whether you are aware, you can hire car seats when you pick the car up from any airport.
They also have the relevant size car seat for the age of the child, unfortunately not cheap, but from past experience the cost is roughly 50-60 euros for about 10 days hire. We have to hire one everytime.
Look forward to seeing you
Regards Jackie, Paul & Ben

We hired a carseat for my grandson at Naples Airport - the cost was €10 per day, with a maximum charge of €70. That was two years ago, so the price may have increased a little since then.

We also had his older sister with us, and simply packed one of the smaller booster seats into a suitcase for her. My sister-in-law is planning to put a full booster seat ( the seat and back can be separated), into her suitcase next weekend for her four year old.
