We have hired a vehicle from Dollar at MCO twice before with a child seat built into the seat

We now have two children and want to do the same, we are looking at US Rentacar, flying into Sanford. Rentacar want to charge us £10 a day for two seats when I'm pretty sure there will be more vehicles with seats built in.

My kids will be 23 months and 6 1/2 come trip time.

We hired a 7 seater last time if that's any help.

Anyone got any ideas which vehicle to order? There is noway I am transporting 2 car seats over !!

Our youngest DD was 19months and 24months for both our visits last year.
We hired a Dodge Caravan (direct from Dollar) on both occasions and she was fine in the in-built harness. I wouldn't call it an in-built seat more of a five points harness suitable for toddlers. For our DD5 we simply checked in a booster cushion which was easy to carry and no hassle when we arrived, this would be fine for your 6yo.
Both of these options were fully within Florida law.

We have also had a Dodge Caravan from Dollar (UK equivalent is Chrysler Grand Voyager) which has two inbuilt harnesses on middle row of seats (7 seater).

Thanks both of you, I reckon that's what we hired.
