I don't have any recommendations, but I would avoid flying into the Ft. Lauderdale airport at all costs - especially if you are traveling without a car seat.

@yoursilverlining: why??

@wheres_c: the airport won't let any of the taxis leaving the airport take kids under 5 without car seats, and none of the taxis have car seats available for kids. Only a couple of the private car services have car seats available and none on short notice. We didn't find this out until flying there - didn't bring a car seat because only time LO would have been in a car was the 1 mile drive from airport to hotel (prior to cruise), which we were comfortable with (in a taxi). Was told only option was renting a car with a car seat....until we asked if any drivers could be incentivized. Yup, turns out some drivers will do it, for $20 to the transportation team (taxis can't just wait for patrons, all rides must go through transportation dept at airport) and a $50 "tip" to driver. Ridiculous and scamy, especially for a city whose main draw is tourism and especially since it's not a city/state law, it's the airport's rule. Was lovely to find out about at midnight, having come in on a flight delayed 6 hours and an overtired LO!
