Anyone rent a National minivan with built in booster seats lately?

[U2_rocks!]

Just wondered what their stock was like these days, as I know that many newer minivans are coming with built in seats. We have 3 kids, who will be 4, 5 & 7 at the time of our trip. The 2 older ones can use boosters now and will also need them at the time of our trip, the youngest one will likely be borderline between harnessed and booster at the time of our trip (she's on the small side). That's a lot of seats to bring, esp. as we have 2 flights to take! I was hoping to bring one or two of those backless boosters, and rely on at least one built in seat. None will need a carseat on the plane. None of my kids are tall, so there won't be a height issue with the built-in seat. We will try all 3 kids out in it and see who it fits best - it's bound to fit one of them well!

I would love some feedback on what you've been seeing at National lately!

Just an FYI that it should be a built in car seat, not a booster in most minivans. I haven't rented one recently, but my van has the built in car seat (with harness).

Have a great vacation,
Jennifer

I asked someone at thrifty and they said there Caravans have seats that are suitable for infants between 20 - 40 lbs. Not quite sure exactly what kind of car seat it is as I've never seen them. You could probably get the info on the Vehicle manufacturer's site (ie: Dodge)

As they can't guarantee it and our little girl will be right around the 20 lbs most likely at the time of our trip, I guess we'll have to bring our own car seat.

The two times I rented from DOLLAR, I had a minivan with built-in carseats, for an toddler. I have rented many minivans from National and none have ever had a carseat or booster in any of them. You can always rent them from the car companys, but that can really add up.
