Anyone rent a car seat from abbf?

I am going to need a car seat for one day, but don't want to get one from the car rental. Anyone used these? What do/did you think? TIA

I have never rented a car seat from abbf but I have rented other "equipment" from them and was more than satisfied. I would imagine that their car seats are just as clean and up to standard as the rest of their stuff.

Rental car seats aren't a good idea at all.

There is no way to know if the car seat was in a crash (and no way for the rental agency to guarantee that unless they only rent brand new seats each time) and most reports I've heard revolve around the seat being outdated/incorrect type for their child/lacking instructions/dirty..etc, etc.

Best option is to just use the car seat on the airplane and then use it for the time you need to at your vacation destination.
