we just travelled to florida, rented car and 3 seats from avis. all immaculate and wrapped in plastic, came with instructions and all staff trained in how to fit them. had i not found this website, they would have been perfectly acceptable. but..... because i had found this website and learnt so much about nautiluses and radians and sceneras - i had to go buy them and we returned the rental car seats.

I wouldn't after what I saw the other day while waiting for our rental in Hawaii. I watched two people pull up in a van loaded with new, wrapped in plastic, car seats. Then I watched as they unloaded the van by THROWING the car seats from the back of the van into a pile by the back door of the rental agency. (about 10 feet away) Then, when the one guy made a smart-a$$ remark, the other guy THREW a graco infant seat over the top of the van in an attempt to hit the first guy. The first guy then KICKED the infant seat out of his way, chased the other guy down, and smacked him on the rear end with a backles booster.

In case you are wondering, yes I did say something to the guys. And yes, DH did roll his eyes when he saw where I was headed.
