Why You Should Rent a Car Seat When Travelling to the Algarve with Your Baby or Toddler

Are you planning a family holiday to Portugal's beautiful Algarve region? Travelling with children can be challenging when you consider all the essential equipment you need to bring. One of the bulkiest items? Safe car seats.

The Challenges of Bringing Your Own Car Seat

While safety is non-negotiable when driving with children, bringing your own car seat on your journey presents several difficulties:

  • Car seats are heavy and cumbersome to transport through busy airports while managing your baby or active toddler
  • Many larger toddler and child car seats cannot be used on aircraft and must be checked into the baggage hold
  • Improper handling during transit can damage car seats, potentially compromising their safety
  • There's always the risk your car seat could be lost during travel

Renting Car Seats in the Algarve: The Smart Solution

Globe Toddler offers a convenient alternative that makes your family holiday in Portugal easier and less stressful with our age and size appropriate child car seat rental service.

Portugal Car Seat Laws: What You Need to Know

Portuguese regulations require all children under 12 years old and less than 135cm tall to use a UN R44/R129-approved child car seat:

  • UN R44 standard requires rear-facing positions until 9kg
  • The stricter R129 (i-Size) standard mandates rear-facing until at least 15 months

Safety experts strongly recommend children travel rear-facing until at least 4 years old (longer if possible), as this position is up to five times safer in the event of a collision.
