Travelling with children starts with choosing the whole setup: car, child restraint, passengers and luggage. Bumba offers an ISOFIX child seat, and you can ask about an infant carrier or booster seat when arranging your booking. Never assume these items are available or automatically included. Request the accessory before travelling and wait for the team’s confirmation before planning collection.
Age alone does not determine the right seat
Provide the child’s age, height and weight, together with the number of restraints you need. These details help establish which item may suit your trip. CONTRAN Resolution 819/2021 considers characteristics of the child and restraint; the choice must respect manufacturer limits. Check current official guidance and the manuals instead of choosing simply because an item is called a “child seat”.
What ISOFIX does
ISOFIX uses dedicated anchor points in the vehicle to secure a compatible child seat. This makes the installation easier to check, but does not make every seat suitable for every child or car. Confirm compatibility of the model offered and follow every step in the vehicle and restraint manuals, including any required additional fixing components. Do not improvise an installation just to make the accessory fit.
Consider the space you will actually use
When choosing the car, count the adults, children, suitcases and stroller. More than one child restraint can substantially change the space available across the rear seats. Explain this when requesting a quote rather than relying only on the advertised seating capacity. The team can check available options; do not choose a model based only on an old comparison of luggage compartments.
Allow time at collection
Ask for confirmation of the accessory type, price, availability and compatibility with the reserved car. At collection, check the item supplied and its installation before seating the child and setting off. Resolve questions there rather than waiting until you reach your accommodation. Arrange luggage so you can reach essential items during stops, and avoid planning too many drives on the first day.
