We went to turkey last month when my baby was 4 months. We took car seat and full pram system. Most of the time we used car seat on the pram base, but we needed to get taxis all the time, I guess it depends where you’re going and whether you’ll be getting taxis. Pram fan and umbrella were a must. We also took our own travel cot sheet which I’m glad we did as the travel cot the villa provided didn’t come with a sheet! We bought a sunshade tent but that wasn’t worth it as it got far too hot. Have an amazing time, we loved taking our baby away. He had such a good time!

Have you decided on a hotel yet?

I also second the pram fan, there's one in home bargains that's supposed to be for desks etc, but I prefer that as its rechargeable rather than batteries.

thank you - so for the airport to hotel transfer is it compulsory for the car seat??

Milton tablets for cold sterilization. (If bottle feeding)

Iv never had mine in car seats from airport-hotel xx
thank you \ Turkey ??

Iv been to lots of places turkey Canary Islands Caribbean and never taken a car seat I have 3 children 12 years 7 years and 8 weeks all have travelled from being months old

I’m not sure if it’s compulsory, but our transfer was 1.5hr and I knew we’d have been getting a lot of taxis whilst over there. I personally felt a lot safer having him in his car seat and it was really easy to take with EasyJet.
thank you. So you’d have to let the company know there’s a baby as there’d have to be an empty seat on the bus for the car seat to be strapped in to. I used to work on the transfer buses overseas so know how busy they get with arrivals.

Hey I’m happy to help you out with your search I’m an independent travel agent so can sort all for you including the transfers etc. happy to chat ☺️
