This is just a curiosity and I didn't find a recent discussion on it. I am NOT considering renting a car seat.
But when I was investigating car rentals for our trip, I couldn't help myself and looked at the child car seat section. Hertz (one of the "nicer" rental places) listed Sceneras and Comfortsports and then it jumps to booster seats. I realize a lot of people are forward facing their kids before they'd have outgrown these rear facing. But wouldn't a lot of kids have outgrown these seats forward facing before they were ready for a booster? And before they even turn 4? And aren't there states that a child cannot booster before age 4? What am I missing? Again this is just a curiosity.
