So we're going to Orlando in May w/ my parents and the kids and my brother (and maybe a friend for him, lol). We're going to WDW and staying on property so that's not the problem. The problem is then we're going on a cruise and it's a 45 mins drive to the port. My dad found a place that will take us all there for a decent price instead of having to rent for 10 people or paying the $700 that Carnival charges to get from the airport to the port. Here's my dilemma. The rooms on the cruise ship are small and of course I don't want to check any seats if at all possible. Would you let the boys use backless boosters to go from the resort to the port? AJ will be just shy of 7 and pushing 60#, I'm not so worried about him. It's Evan. He'll be almost 5.5yo and has only used a booster one time, to go across the street, lol. He will doubtedly be 40# by then, we're lucky if he'll make 38# or so by then and he might hit 42". Now there will be an adult w/ him of course to help him sit right etc, but it just seems odd to let him sit in one. Ugh.
The boys will be using just the lap belts on the plane and the girls will be in carseats. Ilana will take an Avenue and Olivia will take her SS1 or an Avenue as well. Probably the Avenue b/c I have a feeling the SS1 is going to go to BIL and his wife in Feb. Do I ask the rental place if they rent seats? Someone posted about these travel suitcases that turned into booster seats that were supposed to be coming to the US next year and they looked perfect but it still weirds me out that they're backless. I've brainwashed myself!
