We have twins and are travelling to rome in November for a long weekend. Does anyone know if you can rent / hire pushchairs whilst on holiday?

Hi Maire. Some hotels offer this service, but it can be on very limited availability. Like most additional family services, it is vital to pre-book. The concierge may be able to help you too, so it is worth contacting your hotel directly. The other alternative, or if not staying in a Rome hotel, is to purchase a cheap one, (not sure how cheap for twins), whilst in Rome. Have you had any luck elsewhere finding any information about this?

Hi Maire. Your best bet is to consult with your hotel, (if you are staying in one). If they can not provide a pushchair, they at least will have the local knowledge of the area, and may be able to offer some helpful advice. I think you may be lucky to find pushchair rental elsewhere...it could be a bit of problematic area for businesses with legalities and potential liability issues. One great alternative would be to pack pushchairs in your suitcases and use the services of a great company called Tiny Tots Away. They are UK based, and will deliver your favourite branded baby supplies direct to your hotel for your specified arrival dates, and should free up some valuable space in your suitcase. Their website is www.tinytotsaway.com We hope you have a great holiday, and would love to hear how you get on. Kind Regards - The Take the Family Team
