Twins or Two Under-Fours: Booking Two Child Seats

Updated 3 min read

Two young children means two child seats, and two child seats fitted side by side take up real space — both in terms of seating and, indirectly, in the boot, since the category you need has to have room for both seats and your family's luggage at once. Getting this right at booking avoids arriving to a car that technically has enough seats but not enough actual room once both seats are fitted.

This guide covers booking two child seats, and whether a Standard car still works for your family once both seats and your luggage are accounted for.

Booking two seats in one form

Add each child seat separately in the booking form, with each child's age — under 1 year, or 1 to 3 years — even if they're twins of the same age. Both seats are then fitted and ready before you land, confirmed rather than assumed. There's no limit on booking two seats in one form; it's a routine request for families with twins or two young children close in age.

Does a Standard car still have room?

A Standard car seats four with a 6-unit luggage budget — 2 large bags + 2 cabin bags, or 4 cabin bags. Two adults and two children in seats uses all four passenger positions, which is fine — but two fitted child seats can make the remaining boot space feel tighter than the unit count alone suggests, since seats themselves aren't part of the luggage budget but do take up physical room around it.

For a family with two large cases and two cabin bags on top of two child seats — the full saloon allowance — it's worth checking the actual fit at booking rather than assuming — the booking page shows the room left once you've entered your bags, and if it's tight, moving up to SUV/XL gives more comfortable space around both seats.

What to check before you commit to a category

The safest way to decide is to enter your full family — two adults, two children, both seats needed — along with your actual luggage count on the booking page, and look at what room is left once both seats are accounted for. If it looks tight rather than comfortable, it's worth booking SUV/XL from the start rather than hoping a Standard car works out; there's no penalty for choosing the roomier option, and the price difference is shown clearly before you pay either way.

If your travel plans change after booking — say, an extra bag turns up, or you realise the seats need slightly more room than expected — contact us as early as you can, and we'll help move you to a category that fits properly rather than leaving it to be discovered at the kerb.

Questions people ask before booking

Can I book two child seats for twins in one booking?

Yes — add each seat separately in the form with each child's age, and both are fitted and confirmed before pickup.

Will a Standard car have enough room with two child seats and our luggage?

It depends on how much luggage you're bringing. Check the room shown on the booking page once you've entered your bags — if it's tight, SUV/XL gives more comfortable space around two fitted seats.

Do twins of the same age need two separate seat bookings?

Yes — book two seats even if the age is the same for both, so it's clear two seats need to be fitted rather than one.

What age categories are the child seats available in?

Under 1 year, or 1 to 3 years — select the right one for each child when you book their seat.

Is there a cost for each child seat?

Each child seat is shown in your total price before you pay, so you know the full cost for both seats before booking.
