Booster seats in the USA

[Graham-W]

We have booked a holiday in Orlando for 12 of us (6 adults and 6 kids).
Included in the deal is a 12 seater minibus with 4 insured drivers.
Will the smaller of the children need booster seats like they do over here and will the rental place be able to supply them?
I don't fancy taking them with us as luggage (the booster seats that is. Not the kids).

see here for the florida rules:

most US car rental places will rent booster seats but check the specific company to be sure.

Thanks for the quick reply and the link. It appears to involve only two of the children. I'll check with the rental company about the supply of two boosters.
Thanks again.

how about taking something like this with you http://www.google.co....ECg&ved=0CIcBEPMCMAE# as it is a booster and a rucksack in one.

They are very expensive to rent from the car companies. We have always taken them, it's no bother and there is no charge. I pack them in heavy duty bin bags (garden rubbish bags work well). They normally go with the oversize baggage (the travel reps at the airport will show you where) and then they get collected with your baggage at the other end. Very jealous of your holiday, have a fab time.

That car seat looks good, redcrx, but presumably that would be one person's hand luggage allowance?

boxtops, its is handluggage approved and is also a rucksack so the child who requires it can carry their stuff inside (it doesnt get squashed when seat is used) just as they would with normal handluggage
