When you decide to <strong>rent a car<\/strong> for your <strong>family holiday<\/strong>, it\u2019s important to select the correct seat based on your child\u2019s age. The seat must comply with European regulations and must use the appropriate anchoring system, exactly as required in private vehicles.<\/p>   <p>Additionally, the seat must be <strong>positioned in the rear of the vehicle<\/strong> for children up to 1.35 metres tall. There are exceptions to this rule, applicable when:<\/p>   <ul class=\"wp-block-list\"> <li>the car has only two seats;<\/li> <li>the rear seats are already occupied by other children in their child seats;<\/li> <li>the requested seat cannot be installed.<\/li> <\/ul>   <p>The anchoring system must be used until the child reaches <strong>150 cm in height<\/strong>. After this, the child may use the standard seat belts provided with the vehicle.<\/p>   <p>The same rules that apply to private cars also apply to <strong>short-term rental vehicles<\/strong>.<\/p>   <p>But how do you rent a car equipped with a child seat?<\/p>   <h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Renting_a_car_with_a_child_seat\"><\/span>Renting a car with a child seat<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>   <p>When making your <strong>vehicle booking<\/strong>, it\u2019s important to inform the rental company that you will be travelling with children who require a child seat. This allows you to receive an accurate quote and to <strong>book the ideal vehicle<\/strong> for your arrival.<\/p>   <p>During the booking process, you can <strong>add the child seat to your rental<\/strong> and be sure that one will be available when you reach your destination. In some cases, the seat may come with an additional cost \u2014 something worth knowing in advance to <strong>avoid unpleasant surprises<\/strong>.<\/p>   <h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Tips_for_travelling_with_children\"><\/span>Tips for travelling with children<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>   <p>When travelling as a family, a few simple precautions can make your holiday much smoother and far more enjoyable.<\/p>   <p>At <strong>Ellepi car rental Olbia<\/strong>, we always recommend that travellers check that the child seat is properly installed and secured before starting the journey. Also make sure not to place a rear-facing child seat on a passenger seat equipped with an active airbag.<\/p>   <p>When children are on board, remember to activate the rear door child-safety locks. Finally, bring plenty of drinks \u2014 water and fruit juices \u2014 especially if you plan to <strong>travel long distances<\/strong> or if temperatures are high.<\/p>   <p>Are you planning your <strong>holiday in Sardinia<\/strong> and looking to rent a car upon arrival at <strong>Olbia Airport<\/strong>?
