We are travelling next weekend and have heard so much conflicting information regarding car seats and the law involving them.
Firstly I have a DD that is just over two and obvously need to go into a 'proper' car seat. I heard that the ones at Dollar rental are often dirty and with this in mind I thought I would bring a new one of our own. I saw one in argos that seems the best of both worlds, light, cheap and can be packed easily with a full harness. Here is a link to the seat in question. http://www.argos.co.uk/webapp/wcs/s...Id=-1&catalogId=2501&productId=112540&Trail=C$cip=16970>C$cip=16977>C$cip=16979>FC$Brands=Triplefix&categoryId=16979
My first question is, will this be acceptable to Florida law. I am hoping it will be because of the full harness.
Secondly. I called Dollar and asked them about my DS, who is 3 1/2 and he weighs 36 pound. He is very tall for his age and I could not imagine having to put him into a full car seat as he uses a booster with a full back in this country. Dollar told me that he will be able to use the booster with a full back, making use of the normal car seat belt. My only worry is that I have heard some where else that ALL children under 5 have to go in a baby seat. Can anyone that has experianced this first hand explain the rules to me.
I know this has been covered before, but would really appreciate some help here, because I dont want to take car seats that are not usable once we arrive and waste the luggage space.
Thanks,
Paul.
