We are a family of 7 (my dh, ds (5), dd (3), dh's parents & baby brother (he's 25--LOL). We'll be going down Nov 20-27, and need to rent a conversion van for all of us (and our stuff) to travel to Orlando.

Anyone have any suggestions/experience? I can go into Northern VA (we live outside of Baltimore) to rent one if need be.

THANKS for any help!
Donna

I don't have any advice on the logistics, but I am a member of several carseat boards and these types of vans are often notoriously unsafe. Just make sure that the van you rent has high enough headrests in the back to support the head of any adult sitting in the back. Also check to see that their are shoulder belts in the back of the van. Any adults (or children in booster) will need the should belt.

You might try double posting this in the transportation board for more responses.

Have fun,
