Kids Selfie Pod Photo Booth Hire

Kids photo booth hire (also called children's photo booth hire) for kids' parties, family weddings, christenings, school discos and family fun days — Selfie Pod on a tilting mount, 2×6 strip prints, branded overlays. Surrey, London and UK-wide.

  • Space Required ~1m × 2m — pod footprint plus pose area in front
  • Pod Footprint About the size of a standing adult — slim enough for tight venues
  • Mount Tilting head — we pre-set the tilt at delivery to suit the expected guest height
  • Power 1 × standard 13A socket
  • Same internals as the Selfie Pod — same camera, printer and software
  • Tilting head — we pre-set the tilt at delivery to suit the expected guest height

  • Runs the same Surrey FaceBooth experiences as the Selfie Pod — Glam, Magazine Cover, AI Booth, Elf Yourself AI, custom layouts
  • Compact footprint — about the size of a standing adult

Guests step up to the pod, tap start on the touchscreen, and a built-in HD camera captures a sequence of frames. A 2×6 photo strip lands in the tray seconds later; digital copies (photo, GIF or boomerang) are shared straight to phones via QR, email, SMS or AirDrop. The whole event uploads to a branded online gallery delivered to the host afterwards.

Same kit as the Selfie Pod, mounted so younger guests can use it standing up without crouching to an adult-height screen. Set on arrival to suit the expected guest height, so kids and adults can both use the booth across the night without anyone needing a stool or a lift.

We deliver, set up, test, and pack down. Hires run attended or unattended — tell us which at quote stage.

Frequently Asked Questions

How is the Kids Selfie Pod different from the regular Selfie Pod?

Same kit inside the pod — same built-in HD camera, same 2×6 dye-sub strip printer, same software experience library — on a tilting mount that we pre-set at delivery to suit the expected guest height. The regular Selfie Pod is sized for adults and older kids; the Kids Selfie Pod is the same booth angled down toward younger guests so they can use it eye-level without crouching or needing a lift up. Pick this one when kids are a real part of the brief.

Is it suitable for adults as well?

Yes — we set the tilt at delivery to suit whoever's at the event. Most family events are mixed-age (kids, parents, grandparents), so we typically angle it to land between the two and adults use it without issue. For an adult-only event the regular Selfie Pod is the default pick.

Which Surrey FaceBooth software experiences run on it?

Same library as the Selfie Pod — the Kardashian Glam Booth, Newspaper & Magazine Cover Experience, AI Photo Booth, Elf Yourself AI, and custom layouts / themed overlays all run on the same hardware. The one experience that needs different kit is the Green Screen Dream Machine, which uses a dedicated booth.

How much space does it need?

Around 1m × 2m total — the pod itself takes about the same floor space as a standing adult, with the rest for guests to pose in front. No ceiling clearance issue. Fits into hotel hallways, marquee corners, function rooms and school halls without rearranging the venue.

Does it print photos?

Yes — 2×6 photo strips (four shots stacked vertically) on a dye-sublimation printer, dispensed seconds after the capture. Dye-sub means dry, smudge-proof prints ready to handle straight out of the tray. Kids tend to take the strip home as a keepsake; parents get the digital copy on their phone for the family album.

Can it do GIFs and boomerangs?

Yes — guests pick at the touchscreen. The standard mode is a still photo (which is what prints), but they can also pick GIF or boomerang for the digital share. GIFs and boomerangs are digital-only — the print is always a still.

How do guests get their photos?

Three ways at once. A 2×6 photo strip lands in the tray. Guests can scan a QR code on the screen to download the digital copy (plus the GIF/boomerang if they made one) to their phone, or share by email, SMS or AirDrop straight from the booth. After the event the host gets a branded online gallery of every shot from the night.

Is it attended or self-service?

Either — your choice at booking. Attended hires put a Surrey FaceBooth team member at the booth throughout (helpful with younger kids and queue management). Unattended hires are self-service; a team member is in the area for the duration of every hire either way. For under-eights we'd usually recommend attended.

How many guests can fit in a shot?

Typically 2–6 depending on age and how close they're willing to stand. Group capacity is set by the field of view of the built-in camera rather than a hard limit — friend groups, siblings, whole birthday tables fit in fine with a bit of shuffling.

Can we add custom branding to the prints?

Yes — a branded overlay is included on every hire as standard. Send us the kid's name, event name, school logo, year group or theme at booking and it's applied to every photo strip and every digital share.

Can we add a custom backdrop?

Yes — backdrops are a common add-on. Themed backdrops for kids' parties (superheroes, princess, dinosaur, space, unicorn), sequin walls, balloon walls and custom-printed branded backdrops are all available. Flag the look you're after at quote stage.

Does it work outdoors?

Yes, in sheltered conditions. The pod is rated for indoor and covered-outdoor use on a solid level surface — a marquee, gazebo or building canopy is fine; bare grass or open-sky with weather risk is not. The electronics aren't weatherproof.

Are props included?

Yes — props are included as standard. The exact selection rotates depending on what's in the kit on the day. If you've got a specific theme in mind (superheroes, princess, sports, science) flag it at quote stage and we'll do our best to match what we've got.

Can we pair it with an audio guestbook?

Yes — the Audio Guestbook sits next to the pod (or on the side table) and guests leave a voice message after they grab their print. Popular pairing for milestone family birthdays where you want grandparents' voices alongside the photos.

How much does Kids Selfie Pod hire cost?

Same pricing tier as the regular Selfie Pod — pricing depends on event type, distance from our Surrey base, hire duration, and any add-ons. Use the instant quote builder to get a tailored figure in under a minute. Drop in your event date, postcode and guest count and we'll come straight back.

How far in advance should we book?

As early as you can — peak Saturday wedding dates and school summer-term dates book out furthest ahead. Weekday and off-peak dates are often available with much shorter notice. Send your date and postcode through the instant quote and we'll confirm availability straight away.

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

  1. 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).
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. Digital sharing — guests (or parents) scan the QR code on the screen, or send via email / SMS / AirDrop straight to a phone.
  5. 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.

A Selfie Pod, set up for family-friendly events

Same internals as the Selfie Pod — same built-in HD camera, same 2×6 dye-sub strip printer, same software experience library — on a tilting mount we set at delivery to suit the expected guest height. The booth pivots forward toward the kid for eye-level framing rather than asking a five-year-old to reach up to an adult-height screen.

Same touchscreen, same overlays, same software library as the [Selfie Pod](/services/selfie-pod-photo-booth-hire/).

Mixed-age events, one booth

Family weddings, christenings, bar / bat mitzvahs, milestone birthdays with kids in attendance — the tilting mount means the same booth works for guests of every age across the night, instead of leaving children to crowd in front of a fixed adult-height screen. Same software experiences run on it: Glam, Magazine Cover, AI Photo Booth, Elf Yourself AI, custom layouts.
