Car Seat Rental Agencies

There are a few things you should know about renting car seats from a car seat rental agency:

First, take a moment to read this investigative report about what one mother found out about the treatment and condition of car seats used by rental car agencies, imparticularly Advantage Rent-a-Car.


It has been my personal experience that car rental agencies are in the car rental business and will do their best to make sure you have a great rental car- unfortunately, they are NOT in the baby equipment rental business and can not make any guarantees about the car seats that they rent.

Here is a photo- personally taken: This is how they sanitize the car seats they rent at a rent-a-car company in Las Vegas. First they use the car seat tether straps to attach them to a chain-link fence and then they use the same pressure washer they were just using to wash the rental cars to hose down the car seats. I'm not quite sure, hose water is going to kill germs or protect the integrity of the car seat straps.


We ARE in the business of renting baby equipment and do our best to provide high quality, super clean, and top safety-rated infant and toddler car seats! We can guarantee that you will receive a car seat that will keep your most precious family members safe while you are on vacation!
