Transportation w/2 Little Kids to/from Huntington Beach & John Wayne Airport

[Satchmo]

We're planning a trip for 4 adults (me and my wife, our 2 kids ages 3.5 & 7, and grandma & granddad).

I'd like to go to Huntington Beach one of the days, and I'm trying to figure out the best way to get there from Candy Cane Inn with kids.

Last year, we had a Lansky shuttle take us to and from John Wayne to our hotel. It seems like Uber and Lyft aren't good options if you need car seats. I'm wondering if my best option would be to use the shuttle to/from the airport again and then get a one-day vehicle rental on Turo (with car seats) to go to Huntington Beach. Or get a Turo rental for and drive ourselves to/from the airport and to the beach? (That's 3 days we'd need a vehicle, but our trip would probably be 6 days.)

Do you have any ideas for me?

Are you planning to bring car seats yourself for the airplane? Or rely on the car service to bring them. Car services don't just do airport pick-up/drop off, they also drive to other places.

Are all six of you going to the beach?

Thanks starry! We are hoping to leave the cars seats at home since we have enough luggage already.

All of us would like to go to the beach, but my parents could take their own transportation potentially.

I'll look into the cost for the shuttle company to take us to the beach too.
