Car seats for your infant or child in Costa Rica
Infant car seats and boosters are among the most popular requests, as Costa Rica's traffic laws require children under 12 years of age to use approved infant seating. We offer various options that are appropriate for your child's age, size, and weight, ensuring their safety during your travels.
In addition to car seats and boosters, we provide other accessories to enhance your journey, such as Portable Wi-Fi Hotspots that connect up to five devices, surfboard racks for safe transportation of outdoor gear, and coolers for beverages and snacks. You can also rent a cellphone with local service to stay connected throughout your trip.
For family vacations, we understand the hassle of carrying your infant car seat or booster. That's why, in addition to your vehicle rental, we offer all types of child and infant car seats that comply with Costa Rica's traffic law standards. Our car seats and boosters meet the requirements of Regulation N. 38239-MOPT and Traffic Law 9078, giving you peace of mind while you enjoy your vacation.
According to Traffic, Law 9078, there are four groups (types) of car seats for babies and children. An Adobe representative will help select the appropriate type for your child based on his/her height and weight. Child seats in Costa Rica are divided into the following four groups: infant (baby) seats, child seats, booster seats with a backrest, and booster seats. The appropriate seat group for your child is always determined by his/her weight and height, and not by your child’s age.
This first group includes babies and infants that weigh up to 13 kg (29 lbs.) and measure 75 cm (30 in). This type of seat is a baby carrier and should be positioned in the center seat, provided it has adequate supports and faces towards the back of the car.
This group corresponds to children who weigh less than 18 kg (40 lbs.) and measure between 75 and 110 cm (30 and 43 in). It is a booster seat or chair with side protection and a five-point belt.
This group applies to children 4 to 6 years old that weigh between 15 and 25 kg (33 to 55 lbs.) and measure between 110 cm and 145 cm (43 and 57 in). These children will either be fitted with a booster seat or a car seat with side protection. The seats will be attached using the vehicle seat belt or the external anchors, which is determined according to the type of chair used and/or the type of vehicle.
The final group corresponds to children between 6 and 12 years old who weigh between 22 and 36 kg (49 and 79 lbs.) and are between 110 cm and 145 cm (43 and 57 in) tall.
