Hi.just wanted to check if anyone has done this? Lo is 10kg and sits in a forward facing car seat.the ba website says car seat is included in under 2's allowance in addition to a pushchair.my question is has anyone taken a toddler car seat on a flight,and if so,did you check it in or carry it on?its really heavy,so would prefer to check in,but then imagine it would need to get packaged somehow so it doesn't get damaged?been a long day so may be being dense but dont know how this works.car rental co other end won't guarantee a car seat will be available with the rental so would like to take advantage if can figure out logistics!any advice would be really appreciated. Many thanks!
I bought a car seat on the kiddicare website (about ?40) to take away with us (reg car seat is isofix & didnt fancy lugging it around!). Checked both that & the buggy in as Bugglet's allowance. I bought carseat travel bags (?12 each) for peace of mind esp with the buggy & both came out on the carousel without any problem.
That's really helpful-thanks for letting me know.im a bit wary as the last flight I went on my buggy was broken when it came out of the carousel-it did get fixed eventually and dropped back to our home by the airline,but we were without a buggy for our entire trip.great idea to buy a bargain car seat for the journey-they are so expensive to hire and you don't know what you are going to get.thanks again!

    • But all those examples sell a wide variety of things,  and mostly they are well spread out along Lordship Lane. These two shops both sell one very specific thing, albeit in different flavours, and are just across the road from each other. I don't think you can compare the distribution of shops in Roman times to the distribution of shops in Lordship Lane in the twenty first century. Well, you can, but it doesn't feel very appropriate. Haa anybody asked the first shop how they feel? Are they happy about the "healthy competition" ?
    • ED is included in the 17 August closure set (or just possibly 15 August, depending on which part of the page you trust more) listed at https://metro.co.uk/2025/07/25/full-list-25-poundland-stores-confirmed-close-august-23753048/. Here incidentally are some snippets from their annual reports, at https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/02495645/filing-history. 2022: " during the period we opened 41 stores and closed 43 loss-making/under-performing stores.  At the period-end we were trading from 821 stores in the UK, IoM and ROI. ... "We renogotiated 82 leases in the year, saving on average 45% versus the prior lease agreement..." 2023: "We also continued to improve our market footprint through sourcing better store locations, opening 53 and closing 51 stores during the year." 2024:  "The ex-Wilco stores acquired in the prior year have formed a core part of this strategy to expand our store network.  We favour quality over quantity and during the period we opened 84 stores and closed 71 loss-making/under-performing ones."
    • Ha! After I posted this, I thought of lots more examples. Screwfix and the hardware store? Mrs Robinson and Jumping Bean? Chemists, plant shops, hairdressers...  the list goes on... it's good to have healthy competition  Ooooh! Two cheese shops
    • You've got a point.  Thinking Leyland and Screwfix too but this felt different.
