Kids photo booth hire — also searched as children's photo booth hire, kids party photo booth hire or kids selfie pod hire. The Selfie Pod on a tilting mount we set at delivery to suit younger guests. Same compact pod, same built-in HD camera, same 2×6 dye-sub strip prints in seconds, same branded online gallery, same Surrey FaceBooth software experience library on top — Glam, Magazine Cover, AI Photo Booth, Elf Yourself AI, custom layouts. The difference is the mount: instead of standing fixed at adult-height, the pod head pivots forward and we pre-set the angle at delivery so a five-year-old can use it eye-level without crouching, climbing onto a stool, or being lifted up to the screen.
We deliver, set up, test, and pack down. Hires run attended or unattended — your choice at booking; either way a team member is in the area for the duration of every hire. Indoor, or covered outdoor on a solid level surface. Booked across Surrey, London, Kent, Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire and UK-wide.
Why we make the Kids Selfie Pod a separate option
When kids are a real part of the brief — a family wedding, a christening, a bar or bat mitzvah, a kids' birthday party, a school disco or sports day, a family fun day — a fixed adult-height pod leaves the youngest guests crouching, climbing or asking for a lift. The Kids Selfie Pod is the same hardware on a tilting mount we set on arrival, so the booth meets shorter guests at eye level rather than the other way round. Adults use it the same way they'd use the regular Selfie Pod. We surface it as the soft default when an event is family-oriented; if you'd prefer the regular Selfie Pod that's a one-tap swap.

How a Kids Selfie Pod hire runs on the day
- Quote and book — drop your event date, postcode and guest count into the instant quote, confirm with a deposit, and send us the overlay artwork (kid's name, event name, school logo or year group).
- On the day, before guests arrive — we turn up 30–60 minutes before your event start time, position the pod, set the tilt for the expected guest height, and have the camera + printer tested before doors open.
- Guests use the pod — they step up, tap start on the touchscreen, pose with props, and pick up a 2×6 photo strip seconds later. On attended hires the team member at the booth keeps the queue moving and helps younger kids with the touchscreen.
- Digital sharing — guests (or parents) scan the QR code on the screen, or send via email / SMS / AirDrop straight to a phone.
- After the event — we pack down and send you a branded online gallery of every shot from the night, ready to share with your guests.
Kids Selfie Pod vs regular Selfie Pod — which to pick
Same hardware, same software, same price tier. The only difference is the mount — fixed at adult height on the regular Selfie Pod, tilting and pre-set at delivery on the Kids version. Pick the regular Selfie Pod when an event is adult-only or older-kid-friendly already. Pick the Kids Selfie Pod when younger children are a real part of the guest list and you don't want them craning up to a screen designed for adults.
Events where Kids Selfie Pod photo booth hire fits best
We cover every type of event. The Kids Selfie Pod fits in particularly well at:
- Kids' birthday party photo booth hire — venue hire, soft play centres and home parties. The tilting mount means a five-year-old can use the touchscreen without help, and the themed overlay carries the birthday kid's name and age on every print. Strongest at 5–12 birthdays where guests are old enough to operate the touchscreen but still too short for an adult-height pod.
- Family wedding photo booth hire — keeps younger guests entertained at the photo booth across the dinner-and-dancing gap, rather than leaving them stuck at an adult-height screen they can't reach. Pairs particularly well at family-heavy weddings with cousins, godchildren and flower girls who'd otherwise be at a loose end.
- Christenings, baby naming ceremonies and family milestone events — group shots that actually include the kids, with the branded overlay carrying the family name or the baby's christening date. Popular alongside an Audio Guestbook for grandparents' voice messages.
- Bar and bat mitzvahs — same booth works for the celebrant and their friends as well as adult relatives across the night, with custom overlays designed around the theme. Hebrew, English or bilingual overlays — flag at quote stage.
- School prom, disco and end-of-term party photo booth hire — tilting mount works for the year-group height; custom overlays with the school logo, year group, leavers' year and prom theme baked in. Branded online gallery delivered to the school after the event for socials, prospectuses and yearbooks.
- School sports days, summer fairs and PTA fundraisers — themed overlays for the day (sports-day colours, summer-fair branding, charity-fundraiser theme). Branded gallery delivered after the event makes the booth a fundraising-photo asset, not just a single-day novelty.
- Family fun days and corporate family days — kids and adults using the same booth across the day, with the branded overlay carrying the company logo. Compact pod footprint slots into community-hall, marquee or outdoor-canopy setups without taking up half the room.
- Festivals, community fun days and family-orientated activations — soft play centres, indoor activity centres and family lifestyle pop-ups — compact footprint, tilting mount, and a queue that moves fast enough to handle high-footfall events without a fixed adult-height bottleneck.
