Taking a Car Seat on Your Holiday Journey

An upcoming holiday brings excitement and expectations, but when traveling with small children, safety is always the top priority. A car seat is one of the most essential pieces of equipment to ensure the safety of your little traveler. But how do you take a car seat on a flight, and how is it transported in the aircraft hold? Here are a few tips to help you prepare for a safe and comfortable journey.

Why should you take a car seat on your holiday?

1. Safety: A car seat provides the best possible protection for your child in the event of a potential collision. By renting a car seat through Vaununi.fi, you ensure that your child travels in exactly the right seat at your destination.

2. Comfort: Your child will feel more comfortable and secure in a familiar seat. It also provides them with the opportunity to rest and sleep comfortably during the trip.

How to transport a car seat in the aircraft hold?

1. Check airline policies: Some airlines allow car seats to be carried in the hold free of charge, while others may charge for it as extra luggage. For example, Finnair allows the transport of a car seat in the hold for free.

2. Pack the car seat correctly: Proper packaging protects the seat from bumps and impacts during the journey. Vaununi.fi takes care of this for you – all rental seats come pre-packed in a durable transport backpack designed to meet the demands of hold handling. You don't have to worry about packing it yourself.

3. Label the seat clearly: Attach the luggage tag provided by the airline or write your contact details on the side of the car seat to ensure it is identified and handled correctly.

4. Consider handling conditions: Be aware that when transported in the hold, the seat may be subject to rougher handling. If you bring your own seat, please ensure it is adequately protected. Seats rented through Vaununi.fi are always delivered clearly marked and equipped with a "Fragile" tag.

Travel safely and worry-free

A car seat is an essential part of safe travel with small children. It brings security, comfort, and peace of mind to both the child and the parents. By taking care of the preparations and knowing the airline's practices, your journey will go smoothly and effortlessly.
