We will be flying from Oregon to Boston next week and then driving all over new England for 2 weeks. We have a 2 year (RF always) a 4 year old (FF harnessed) and a 6 year old. We will be bringing seats on board for the younger two. Our 6 yo (very lightweight but average height, very squirmy!) currently rides harnessed most of the time but we have been trying to booster train in hopes that we could put him in a bubblebum for the trip, but I just don't think he's ready yet, especially since we'll have a few 4+ hour drives.
I've been furiously researching options and this is what I've come up with.
- bring his current seat and call it a day. Three carseats on a flight though?! Yikes!
- use the bubblebum and remind him to sit up straight A LOT.
- rent a car seat from the car rental company. Don't trust em, and that's really expensive.
- rent from a baby equipment rental place. I'd trust the seats more but still expensive.
- buy a cheapish seat at Target in Boston and find some place to leave it before flying out. This is kind of what I'm leaning towards, but where to leave it?
What would you do?
ETA: I refuse to check any carseats, they are handled far too roughly!
