What do you do with your toddler’s car seat if you “Uber” to the parks and are using your own car seat?
Any and all suggestions welcome
Thanks!!!!

There are lockers, but honestly, that’s a hassle and the better option is to plan not to do this, especially if the car seat is too large to fit in one. There are Uber options with car seats (although they can be tricky at high priority times). This is why we always just rent a car when staying offsite.

This is not something you want to do.

You may also find that the cost of renting a car from the airport for your trip is not that much more than the cost of Ubers + tips for the length of your trip.

This is a link to park locker sizes and costs, otherwise you’re hauling it around with you all day long.

Agree with PPs, this is a bad idea. Rent a car or switch to a hotel that has a park shuttle. You are not going to have the savings you thought so you need to re-math your trip anyway.

There are lockers that I believe would fit it BUT who in the world wants to deal with that?!

I'd rather rent a vehicle and drive to the parks than lug a car seat around.

And the more you lug it around, the bigger it gets.

Minnie Vans offer car seats. Car seats with Uber or lyft are rarely available. Do not plan on using Lyft or Uber.

OP are you staying onsite?
Minnie Vans only run on property.
If you are staying in a Disney resort then why not just use Disney's free transportation to the parks?

If you’re off site Minnie Van is a no go.

I’d use buses/boats/Skyliner/Monorail over Uber or Minnie Van. Personally, we rent a car. Minnie Van is going to get crazy expensive l!

When my kids were little I used something like this when in weird situations where a car seat was tough

Those wouldn't work for us because the kiddos still face backwards in their carseats. But I have to ask. Are they acceptable alternatives to carseats in the state of Florida?

I'm not sure there are any alternatives if your child is still young enough to be rear-facing. Last I knew FL didn't require safety seat/booster for ages 5+ so preschoolers and older have some options with inflatable boosters and strap holders like someone posted above.

I don't think they were what anyone would call a replacement for a normal carseat but I used it when we were in a group and got one of those limo type rides, it was better than nothing.

When I went to WDW I brought seats for my babies, even under 1 and strapped the car seat into the plane seat then used a rental car for the car seats.
