Not sure what your actual question is but you can hire child seats/booster seats from your car hire agent in advance of your trip, rather than bringing one with you.
I had a similar dilemma in 2008 going to Orlando ... travelling with our 2yr old ... Car Hire company quoted me $8.99 per day + Tax (6.5%) (which was 8.99 X 13days + 6.5% = $125+) ... so we bought one in Walmart for $42 instead and brought it home with us as a piece of luggage (no charge).
The problem with this is arriving in the airport and hiring a car - What do you do with the baby when driving around looking for a shop to buy car seat in ?
I'm not being cheeky, I'm interested in knowing, A few people have suggested this. Do they drive around with the baby not strapped in until they find a shop that sells car seats ?
She is now in a forwarding facing car seat and would be very cumbersome to bring. Does anyone have any experience of this as we unsure what to do.
Don't know if there is a similar thread but here goes.
Our first child will be 18 months old in June and we are looking at going abroad for our holidays to somewhere like Portugal.
Have loads of ideas about where to go in Portugal but one thing we can't figure out is in relation to the use of car seats abroad or bringing your own. I don't drink and we would normally hire a car for the week anyway. She is now in a forwarding facing car seat and would be very cumbersome to bring.

Not to get completely off the point...we are same - first foreign holiday this year with an 18 month old & thinking portugal also - where are you heading for? Have not been to portugal before
