Before making your final decision on renting a car seat, remember these key factors. These considerations include age-appropriateness, installation, and cost. These are some of the most important considerations when renting car seats: Before renting a seat, ensure that it is in good condition. You should also verify its expiration dates. The sticker on the car seat will indicate the manufacturer date, and possibly the expiration date. To determine the exact date of the seat's installation, the owner's guide can be consulted.
Installation
Safety is the number one priority when choosing a car seat for your child. Be familiar with all functions and recalls of car seats. Evenflo's car seats were recall in September. Additionally, car rental companies may not be aware of recalls and may not be able to keep up. Rental car companies might not list the proper installation or inspection of car seats.
Call the rental agency to get instructions before renting a car seat. Ask the rental agency if they have car seats that your child can use and if they are easy to put in. It is important to have user manuals provided by the rental agency. After each rental, make sure the car seat is properly cleaned.
