Has anyone used FLTours?

We are going to WDW over Spring Break. We will use a town car to get to the ASM. Wondering if you have used the above and what you felt about the car seats they provede- we have a ten month old and six year old. Also, what grocery do you go to - is $115 about right? Their website says to tip at least ten dollars each way, so that's 135 total. I am happy to tip and may even tip more. Sue Ellen from DU reccomended them, I'm just needing some more feedback before I reserve - I have used Tiffany in the past, but don't know if they'll do car seats or a grocery stop for free. Any info is great!

We used FL Tours last fall and we were very pleased. I chose them over Tiffany because when I called to ask what kind of carseats were offered for my 3-yo (we flew with 15-mo old's carseat, so he didn't need to borrow one), the answer I got from Tiffany was very vague, just that it met the laws in Florida. I also emailed FL Tours and I got a specific response, very quick reply, that was very helpful to me. We didn't use the grocery stop, so I can't comment on that, but they do offer it for free. Andy (the owner) did recommend we use the van instead of the towncar with 2 adults and 2 carseats. You might get more responses on the Transportation board and you can do a search to find previous posts.

We used them this past October. They were great! We will use them again in the future. The drivers we had were very friendly and on time.

Thank you all - Steph - I will look into the van. My DD6 uses a booster here even though she weighs 56 lbs. She doesn't really need one by law, but the longer the better, I say! I will not bring the baby's carseat on the plane because I don't have a seat for her. I'll have to see what she weighs by then to see if she can face front. Thanks! Shawn

We have used both FL Tours and Tiffany. Our experience has been better with FL Tours.

When we used Tiffany, our twins were 2. We requested 2 car seats but when they picked us up they only had one in the van. We had to wait while they found an additional car seat. They wanted us to go with out one.

We found FL Tours to be friendlier and they have always had our order correct!

I've also had a really good experience with Florida Tours.

Another good experience with FL Tours.

I'll have to see what she weighs by then to see if she can face front.

I can't tell if your child is 10 months now or at the time of travel, but I just wanted say, in case it is 10 months at the time of travel, that it is 12 months and 20 pounds minimum to forward facing.

she'll be ten months then - i wonder if fl tours careseats can be rear facing - i hope so - i'll have to check - their websit says 18 lbs and up thanks

IIRC, they had the convertible seats that can be rear or forward facing, but I would ask to be sure. You could also take your dd's seat and gate check it. If the flight isn't full, the airlines may offer you a seat for her to use if you have her carseat.
