Car Seat Safety Tips

One of the most common questions parents always ask CPSTs is, "Can we rent a car seat with a car seat rental?" Being a safety technician myself and a mom of two precious little beings, my answer would in most cases be, "YES, you can with the proper rental car agency."

But what's the heck? In my opinion, there is an essential question, and that is: SHOULD you rent a car seat when you set off on a journey.

The opinions are different concerning this issue, and often you can find parents sticking firmly to their previous experiences, feelings, and judgments. However, some like to experiment and make a different choice based on an offered voyage's information.

So, I was hoping you could stick with me for a little longer since I will offer my humble (UNBIASED and BALANCED opinion) and the pros & cons of car rental with a car seat to quickly decide whether you should or shouldn't rent car seats.
