I'm looking to rent a car, and more for curiousity, I clicked on the carseat rental stuff, and it came back with this:

"Child Seat

Hertz can provide you with a convertible car seat to be used forward facing for children weighing 20-40 pounds up to 40 inches in height. Parents of children who have outgrown an infant car seat are encouraged to use these seats rear-facing until the child reaches the upper height and weight limits of the seat for rear-facing use.

Infant Seat

Hertz can provide you with an infant car seat to be used for infants who are less than one year old and weigh up to 20 pounds. Children are too large for this type of car seat if they weigh over 20 pounds or are longer than 26 inches. Infant seats must be installed rear-facing. These seats are desgined to support a child's neck, back and spinal cord.

Booster Seat

Hertz can provide you with a belt-positioning booster seats to be used in the back seat for children who have outgrown a convertible car seat. The belt-positioning booster seat must be used in seating positions equipped with lap and shoulder belts. Children weighing 40-100 pounds should use these seats."

It's not perfect, but does advocate some extended use type stuff. And no, I'm not renting a carseat. Just a minivan.

That is great that they put in the bit about the rf to the limits. I'm actually driving a rental right now while my car is in the shop for body work. Dodge SX 2.0. Thank goodness I can still use latch for a few more lbs (3 sets of dedicated anchors) the shoulder belts in the back seat can't be locked.
