Hi. I have two girls. My oldest is 8.5yo, 50", 70lbs. She rides in the harness in a Britax Frontier at home. My youngest is 5.5yo, 45", 39.5lbs. She rides ff in a harness in a Radian at home. We will be traveling to Disney World in March with my in laws. We will use Disney transportation the whole trip so weren't planning to take any car seats. My in laws have requested we join them for Sunday mass via taxi which we will do. So the only travel of the whole trip where we will be in a vehicle requiring a car seat will be a 15 minute drive each way to church. Kids will be wide awake and in the back of the taxi van with my husband and I (and in laws). How should I handle this?
Should I use the boosters that the taxi company can provide? I am not sure that whatever seat they would provide as a "car seat" would fit my girls, but the booster should be ok, right?
Should I buy and carry two Bumble Bum boosters? My little one is less than a pound shy of 40 lbs. We still have 2 months until trip. I see Harmony Youth Booster recommended in reading many old threads here. They are considerably less expensive that the Bumble Bum, but look much more awkward to travel with. They also have the 30 pound limit so my little one is certainly in the clear.
Neither of my girls have ever ridden in a booster before, but both can sit still and follow directions. I feel pretty comfortable that with us closely supervising them and for such a short trip at an awake time of day they could do well.
Is it ok to check the booster seats in a suitcase with the airlines? I have never checked our regular car seats because they are too rough on them. Plus we always used them on the plane. Are the concerns the same with boosters being damaged?
Thank you!
