Has anyone rented a carseat while renting a car?

We have one seat that we will be bringing for one of the boys.

We will need to rent another.

The only other time we did this was when Jack was a baby and they gave me some cheesy carseat that gave me heart palpatations the entire time.

How are the convertible seats that they rent out?

Re: Has anyone rented a carseat while renting a car?

We rented one while in italy and I wasn't happy at all with it. Like you said it literally gave me heart palpatations the entire time... and then dd had a poop explosion all over it, which was SUCH a pain... Next time I travel I would def bring my own. Who knows though domestic could be better than international.

I did in Chicago and it was awful. I didn't feel comfortable with DS in it at all, luckily we were only there 2 days for a wedding so it wasn't a lot of driving around. Since then I got this: http://www.theportablebaby.com/gogokidz.html

I just roll him around the airport in his car seat and snap it into the rental when we get there. It's great!

This is actually what I will do. I have an extra carseat in my dads car so it's perfect. Thank you thank you thank you! Where can I get it? BRU? BBB? Online?
