Child
Safety Seats
Avis has child safety seats for infants and toddlers at most Avis locations
in the US.
There is a $8.00 per day charge up to a maximum of $50.00 per rental for
the use of an Avis child safety seat.
Failure to return the seat in the same condition as received minus normal
wear and tear may result in a $50.00 additional charge.
Avis uses LATCH car seat anchors—the first car rental company to
adopt the new “Lower Anchors and Tethers for Children” (LATCH)
system as its standard for child seat installation. Learn
more about Avis and LATCH.
The
Basics on Child Passenger Safety
When renting with Avis--or driving your own car--remember these
key tips:
-
Carefully review both the child restraint and vehicle instructions
-
All
children, 12 years old and younger, should always be buckled up in
the back
-
Never
place a child restraint in a seating position with an active airbag
-
Always
get a tight fit--the restraint should not move more than one inch
from side to side or front to back
-
Make sure that the harness straps and clip are positioned and secured
appropriately
-
The U.S. Government recommends that all children who have
outgrown child restraints should be properly restrained in booster
seats until they are at least 8 years old (approximately 80 pounds),
unless they are 4'9" or taller
-
Set the example--always buckle up yourself
