The last time I flew with the kids we had DD (3 at the time) in a Cosco Scenera that we have for flights/ rental cars, and I think DS might have still been in his infant seat. He's 2 now, so we're going to have him in the Scenera, and I'm wondering if I can get a small booster for DD for the rental car so we won't have as much heavy stuff to bring (we'll have at least a few suitcases, a stroller, a pack-and-play, etc. to check as luggage).
FWIW, she's currently in a Sunshine Kids Radian in one of our cars, and a Britax Frontier in the other car. She's at least 45 pounds (as of October) and 44 or 45 inches. I'm way out of the loop on car seats with 'older' kids, but I'm wondering if there's a smaller/ lighter seat/ booster seat I could get for times like this. It seems like some of the 4 year olds I know ride in booster seats in their own cars.
If it seems safe enough to you, is there one you would recommend? And a good (cheap) place to order it from?
Thanks for your help! :)
