  Hi
  
  I am going on a Haven holiday in a few weeks time and taking my granddaughter.
  
  I really don't have room for her pushchair and was hoping to hire one from the site but they don't have them any more.
  
  I have found this website and just wondered if anyone had any experience of it.
  
  http://www.holidaybuggies.com.
  
  I am a little wary not only because of the money issue but also that if it doesn't arrive I am going to be really stuck without a buggy.

  Try phoning Haven and ask them if they offer buggies etc.
  Oops. just read your post properly! lol

  Yes I have called them and they used to hire them but not anymore.
  
  This website is the only one I can find that will deliver nationwide but I have never heard of them.

  The website does give address, email and landline phone number, which is a good sign.
  
  However, you'd be paying, at a minimum, £7 + delivery of £10 or £15 for a week's rent. You could have a look in charity shops at your destination, where basic buggies should be about £5 - we bought one for that which we've used for two g/children, and shortly we'll use it for a third.
  
  Alternatively, if there's a nearby Argos, you can buy a new one from £19.94:

  How old is she? Will she definitely need one? If so I would do whatever it takes to squeeze one in. If hers is bulky maybe you could borrow a more streamline one.
  
  Are you driving? If so try sticking it along the footwell or along the luggage rack at the back.

  Sorry I have only just managed to get on line after looking after the little one for the day.
  
  I do have a pushchair but it is quite bulky and we definately won't be able to take it with us.
  
  There will be 3 adults and the car seat in the back and we only have a Peugeot 206, so the boot isn't huge.
  
  Its a good idea about charity shops but if they don't have any then we are going to be really stuck.
  
  We are going to Pwhelli so I could check if there is an Argos but even if we buy one we can't bring it home, so thats why I looked a hiring one.

  Even if you had to leave it behind, it's cheaper than the hire charge plus delivery (£22).
