I know some of you are thinking, "Duh!" 
When I booked my travel package, our agent said we did not need to bring carseats for our kids (ages 5 and nearly 2), and furthermore, SuperShuttle does not charge for the younger child as he would be a 'lap child'. This didn't sound right to me, but since she was the expert, I let it go.
But it bugged me, so I posted a question about it here. I got a lot of feedback, a couple of which said the travel agent was wrong, and I need to bring the carseats anyway. (Others pointed out that, even if CA law permitted it, it's not safe.)
So today I called SuperShuttle to make the reservation, and before I could even ask the carseat question, the gentleman warned me that they will not transport any child under the age of 5 without a carseat, and asked for my assurance that we will bring one as they could not provide them. I assured him we would have carseats, but I was concerned that we did not have a voucher for the youngest. Fortunately, he said they do not charge for transporting children 2/under, so we're OK.
I wanted to post this in case anyone else had read the previous thread and was not planning to bring their child's carseat... Be warned!
