Minivan Rentals: Integrated Child Car Seats??

[Galactus]

Hello!

I am wondering if anyone knows if the Mini-van rentals from the Major car rental companies have integrated child car seats?

If anyone has rented a Mini-van before, do most come with 2 integrated child seats? I do not want to have to pay for 2 seats at $9.00/day or bring my own of I don't have to.....

THanks, Charles

We have rented minivans several times a year and have never seen the integrated car seats in any of the vehicles we've had. If some do, I still probably wouldn't rely on the integrity of the restraints since they probably don't check it periodically. We always bring our own car seats with us. I don't blame you for not wanting to spend the car rental's fees per day for child seats...it really adds up. It is a real pain to bring your own seats, but IMHO, for the sake of safety, it is the most important thing to pack. Convenience, safety...I'd pick safety. This is just our experience, maybe someone has info. on car rentals that do offer the integrated seats...
Good Luck!
