Car Seat Rental in Seoul for a Family Day Trip: Joie or SoonSung Billy?
Seoul · Nearby day trips · Family travel
A few days into Seoul, you might feel like a change of pace: lunch in Yangpyeong, or a place in Paju you have wanted to see. If you are hiring a car for the day, arrange the child’s car seat while you are sorting out the vehicle. It is one less bulky item to bring from home.
Short answer KPLANZ rents Joie Steadi R129 and SoonSung Billy car seats in Seoul. Families with infants tend to choose Joie; families with toddlers more often choose Billy. Both cost ₩30,000 for three days/two nights, with separate security deposits. Strollers and advance hotel delivery/collection are also available.

Think about the walking after the drive
The car gets you to the destination; there can still be a walk from the car park, a stop for lunch and a tired child on the way back. If your child normally uses a stroller, consider having one for the outing too.
KPLANZ also rents the RYAN Prime Lite stroller. One car seat plus one Prime Lite comes to ₩75,000 for three days/two nights, adding the individual rental fees together. Security deposits and delivery/collection are extra. Check the folded stroller dimensions against the space you will have for luggage.
Receive the gear at your hotel
If a separate shop visit does not fit the day, request hotel delivery in advance. KPLANZ meets you personally at the agreed time to hand over the items and settle the remaining rental payment and separate security deposit.
Send your dates, chosen items and hotel address for a delivery/collection quote before paying the rental booking deposit. After approval, both the delivery/collection payment and booking deposit are needed to confirm. Same-day delivery requests are unavailable.
You can arrange hotel collection after the outing or return the items at the Hongdae shop. At delivery, the remaining rental fee is payable in won cash; the security deposit is payable in won or an agreed foreign-currency cash equivalent.
Budget for the base period, even for one outing
The minimum charge covers three days/two nights, even if you use the seat for only a day. Put collection and return beside the rental-car times in your calendar so you can compare the whole plan, not just a daily price.
Choose your preferred model on the baby equipment page, then send the dates and items through KPLANZ contact. With the gear arranged, you can get back to deciding where to stop for lunch.
