Anyone used a Tote 'n Go Portable Travel CarSeat???

[loveysbydesign]

Hi everyone, We're going to WDW for the 1st time in May and my dd will be 3 months shy of 4 y.o. I was wondering if I should get her one of these: Cosco Tote 'n Go Portable Travel Car Seat to use in our rental car while we're there? I'll be lugging my 6y.o. ds's no-back booster seat and really don't want to have to lug my dd's high back booster seat along too. If you've used one please lmk what you thought of it! I've also though of buying another no-back booster to bring along for her, but am wondering if this might be better? TIA!

I used to mention that particular seat on my site, but I got quite a few letters from readers who had purchased it and felt it was not safe. Among other things, they said it didn't seem to fit to the child's body well or hold the child to the seat well. Also, several said that their child was within the weight limits but the seat was still too small.

Here's a link to some user reviews:

It meets Federal car seat standards, but given the negative feedback on it, I felt it was better to stop recommending it. It's too bad because it's certainly a convenient product!
