We'll be traveling to Mexico in a few months and I'm not sure what to do about carseats. Car trips will be to/from airport (~30 miles) and day trips within about an hour. I don't believe that we will be renting a car since transportation is available from the place we're staying (I'm not sure what type of vehicle yet).
4yo (will have *just* turned 4): currently ~40" tall and 40lbs, usually rides in a TrueFit or Frontier 85 in harness mode. I hate the idea of him in a booster, but under the circumstances I am considering it for the trip since lugging a carseat will be difficult and I have no idea what types of vehicles we may have to install in. Options that we already own are a Graco TurboBooster or Britax Parkway SGL (both HBB with option to detach back). Also considering buying a Ride Safer Vest but I'm not sure which would be the safest option.
7yo: currently 4'2" and ~55lbs, usually rides in a Graco TurboBooster or Britax Parkway SGL (HBB except for occasionally w/o the back for fieldtrips or carpool). He is very good at sitting properly in the booster. Considering buying a BubbleBum for the trip.
Thoughts?
