Berk987 Posted April 20, 2010 #1 Share Posted April 20, 2010 calling all parents....would you bring backless boosters if your children were 4 and 6? currently they ride in britax car seats and are both 39 lbs. We won't bring those since they are huge. I would buy a backless booster for the bus/van and feel more comfortable but DH said don't bring them. we'll need them eventually in a few years anyway and will use them in an emergency only but I don't feel comfortable riding in the caribbean w/o them. thoughts? when we've cruised the last few years we haven't taken tours and at FLL a/p we took the taxi and just used the regular seat belts but that ride was under 10 mins. I'm concerned about the long tour in St. Martin and another 5 hr tour in San Juan. It is at least an hour into the rain forest and back not including the OSJ tour. Both tour companies do not provide car seats but they have seat belts in their bus/vans. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks. ... when the girls were little we always took the cheap (less than $25) backless booster seats with us and put them in a suitcase and checked them through to our destination. They worked great in cabs and tour vans. If you have a larger tour bus, there may not be seatbelts, but your child could use it just to sit up higher and be able to see better. I also found that when the girls were in the boosters, they tended to sit better and longer as they could see and be seen!:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
