Prepare the car seats for shipping
Adequate preparation is crucial to ensure smooth transport. These are the main preparation and packing tips:
- Preparation: Clean the car seat thoroughly before shipping. In this way, you remove contamination. Also check the seat for damage and note it for insurance purposes if necessary.
- Remove detachable parts: Remove all detachable parts of the car seat, such as headrests, armrests or seat belt pads.
- Protective materials: Use materials such as bubble wrap, foam or blankets to protect the car seat during transport. Carefully wrap the seat and make sure that all parts are well padded.
- Suitable packaging: Choose a sturdy packaging that is large enough to hold the car seat securely. A sturdy shipping box or carton with sufficient thickness is recommended. Make sure that the packaging completely encloses the car seat and provides enough space for additional padding.
- Fixing the car seat: Make sure that the car seat is firmly fixed in the package and cannot move before you ship it. Use cushioning material and straps to keep the seat secure and prevent possible damage from movement during transport.
- Closing and labeling the packaging: Securely close the packaging with a sufficient amount of adhesive tape. Clearly mark the packaging with the shipping information or delivery note.
Insure car seats for transport
Note that there is no standard insurance when shipping. When shipping your car seats, only the liability according to the German Freight Forwarders' Standard Terms and Conditions (ADSP) applies in case of damage or loss.
Therefore, we recommend our shipping insurance for expensive products. You can simply add these during the booking process.
