Keeping kids safe in cars after you fly to another city

    @daniellemybelle: LOVE!

    I have caved and made sure there are carseats for each kid at each grandparent's house (so 3 sets in total, including a set for our house). The grandparents each bought one carseat (for my first DD), and we've bought additional ones.

    On vacation, I've only ever taken the capsule seat. Otherwise we've rented when we get there, which I realize isn't ideal.....but even at 3, my oldest isn't large enough for the vests that are actually well rated. I have one of the Ride Safer vests (which I only use in taxi rides involving no highway driving), which has been discontinued in the US, and have zero faith in it for doing anything other than preventing a kid from getting entirely thrown out the window in a collision. She'd still get tossed around pretty badly in a highway crash.

    We always bring a car seat on the plane with us. LO uses it for takeoff and landing, but is usually in our laps a lot of the flight.

    @PinkElephant: Do you think it would make a difference if you used it in conjunction with a backless booster? I thought this would be a good option for my 4 year old, but now I am not so sure.
