Baby & Child Car Seat Rental at Skopje Alexander the Great Airport
Traveling to North Macedonia with children? Safety is our priority, and that includes providing comfortable and secure car seats. Relax Rent a Car Skopje Airport offers a comprehensive selection of baby and child car seats, ensuring a worry-free journey for you and your family.
Why Rent a Car Seat in Skopje?
Is it mandatory? Yes, North Macedonia law requires children under 12 years old or shorter than 150cm (approximately 4’11”) to use an appropriate child restraint system. This includes a properly fitted car seat. Failure to comply can result in fines and, more importantly, puts your child at risk in the event of an accident. Renting a car seat from Relax Rent a Car eliminates the hassle of bringing your own, especially if you're flying.
Our Car Seat Options: What's Available?
We understand that children come in all shapes and sizes. That's why we offer a variety of car seat options to suit your child’s age, weight, and height. All our car seats are regularly inspected and maintained to meet the highest safety standards. Here's a breakdown of what you can expect:
- Infant Car Seats (Group 0+): Suitable for babies from birth to approximately 13kg (29lbs), these rear-facing seats are designed for maximum protection.
- Toddler Car Seats (Group 1): Designed for children aged 9 months to 4 years and weighing between 9kg and 18kg (19.8lbs - 39.7lbs). These seats can be forward or rear-facing.
- Child Car Seats (Group 2/3): Ideal for children aged 4 to 12 years and weighing between 15kg and 36kg (33lbs - 79.4lbs). These are typically high-back booster seats that provide head and side protection.
