help!.. 2 cars or 1 car and a car seat

[mmouse50]

I am flying in to MCO and am staying for 9 days - I want to rent a car from Alamo. My problem is that I am taking this trip with 2 separate groups of people. One person (adult) is flying down with me but only staying 4 days and when I take them back to the airport to fly home another group is flying in. The second group includes a 4 year old child. The child will need a car seat. Do you think that I should make 2 separate reservations? I made a reservation for the entire trip and really hate to lose my 185.00 for a mid size for the entire 9 days but I don't want to haul around a car seat and pay for it for the 4 days that I don't need it.

Does anyone know if you can just pick up a car seat for the remaining 5 days and keep my existing reservation. Or should I get 2 reservations - 1 for the first group and 1 for the second group?

Why don't they bring their own seat?

They were bring their umbrella stroller and trying to lug the suitcase, stroller and car seat at the airport on the other end was a little cumbersome - but I think that I will have them bring their car seat and I can buy an umbrella stroller for 15.00 -which is cheaper than the car seat rental anyway.

A lot of 4 year old's would only need a booster seat. You can bring one of the small ones that don't have a back and they don't take up a lot of extra room. If your friend doesn't have one you can pick one up at most stores for around $20.
