Hi all,
We went in September, and were going to use DDs booster seat on the plane, only to discover most booster seats are not Aircraft approved. They would not allow us to take it on, and since it was not packed properly and I did not want to risk damage by checking it, we left it behind (my parents took it home with them).
We were renting a car, so we decided to just rent a booster too. But this was going to be $9.99 per day - YIKES!! For 12 days that is $120 and worth more than the booster seat by far!!
So, we went to Walmart and bought a booster seat for $17. And used it for the 12 days.
Time to go home, and we realize that this seat does not have any stickers on it making it usable in Canada (not to say it was not safe, but without the Canadian stickers, we could be liable for injuries, not worth it for a $16 booster seat!).
We ended up leaving it in the rental car. We would have happily passed it on to another family, but we had not planned ahead for this.
What do others do? Is there a need for a swap like this?
Just wondering....
Amy
