Hire Car Baby Seat Charges Mount up for British Families

(PRWEB) October 25, 2008

Parents hiring a car when they travel are being advised to compare the additional costs of renting baby and child seats before booking. Car hire comparator Carrentals.co.uk says that costs from providers can vary significantly; meaning cheaper car rental may be offset by higher child seat prices.

The company, which compares prices from up to 50 rental companies including Budget, Holiday Autos and EasyCar, says that child car seats can range from 14Euros per rental in places like Malaga, up to 50Euros and more in areas such as Italy, with prices varying by rental provider and location of hire.

"Child and baby car seats are a legal requirement in many countries, but the additional charges made to the booking can vary significantly. Our advice to parents is to check on the costs before confirming the booking. It may be that you will be better off choosing a different rental company, or even opting to buy a car seat when you get to your destination," advises Managing Director of Carrentals.co.uk, Gareth Robinson.

In the UK the law requires children travelling in cars to use the correct child restraint until they are 135cm in height or 12 years old, with the laws varying by destination.

Gareth adds: "All parents want to ensure their children have the right seats, from both a safety and a legal point of view. However, the cost shouldn't be overlooked - compare a few companies and see how they stack up before making the booking."

Carrentals.co.uk compares prices in over 9,000 locations around the world available. Visitors to the site can search and compare the best deals on car hire, before transferring to the supplier's site to make their booking. For more information visit Carrentals.co.uk

New Release Puts Families on the Road to Good Health with Twists on Favorite Recipes; Book by Eleanor Fahey

Bridgewater, NJ (PRWEB) August 30, 2011

To begin cooking without grains and refined sugars, you may have to invest a little more time into food preparation. The benefits, however, to your overall health and well-being will be well worth the effort. This new comprehensive cookbook features more than 200 practical recipes that are free of grains, gluten, and refined sugars. The recipes contain easy steps that will help even the most inexperienced cooks obtain excellent results. The author developed the recipes in her own home kitchen, testing them many times. Readers will be able to enjoy some of their favorite foods that are not only delicious but also easy to digest.

Comfort Cooking provides recipes in all categories: appetizers, dips, soups, stews, breads, poultry, meat, fish, meatless meals, vegetables, fruits, and salad dressings. Those who love dessert will appreciate the recipes for pies, tarts, cakes, cupcakes, cookies, and frozen desserts. Readers will learn how to make ketchup in 15 minutes and delicious key lime pie, decadent walnut brownies, and flavorful Moroccan-style chicken. The author has thought of everything, including a detailed index, a chapter on cooking techniques and a source list for shopping information.

Author Eleanor Fahey, a professional home economist, taught foods and nutrition at a public high school for more than a decade. She was inspired to write this book, which took more than seven years to develop, because she herself is allergic to grains and refined sugars. After failing to find a cookbook that worked for her, she began to experiment with her own family recipes by replacing the ingredients that caused distress with other digestible ingredients.
