Get a bubble bum instead.

It's an inflatable car booster seat.

I bought mine 2 on ebay.

Car hire for the fortnight for 2 kids would have been £80.

I got 2 bubble bums on ebay for £49 (ebay was cheaper than kiddicare for this one ;))

I've had mine a little while now and cos they're inflatable, we've kept them in a corner of the car and it's made it so easy to put the kids in husband and nans cars without lugging the hi back boosters out from mine and refitting in the other car.

Going on holiday soon and will put these in the hand luggage to use as boosters on the plane, then straight in the car when we pick it up at the airport.

Sorry, going on about it now :o but I love it. it's a big saving on the car seat hire and we're using it lots already, even though I bought them for holiday. Getting a bit evangelical to friends now...bit embarrasing really.
