Re: Car seats
Here's the Florida statute on the subject:
Basically, for a 4 1/2 year old, the seat belt complies with the law. Although the child should be in the back seat. However, the FHP child safety brochure indicates that children of that age should have a booster seat. This allows them to be in a position where the seat belt can fit best.(1)(a) Every operator of a motor vehicle as defined in this section, while transporting a child in a motor vehicle operated on the roadways, streets, or highways of this state, shall, if the child is 5 years of age or younger, provide for protection of the child by properly using a crash-tested, federally approved child restraint device. For children aged through 3 years, such restraint device must be a separate carrier or a vehicle manufacturer’s integrated child seat. For children aged 4 through 5 years, a separate carrier, an integrated child seat, or a seat belt may be used.

Re: Car seats
We went last year and brought a trunking booster seat. It was great because it doubles up as a rucksack, so we packed all my sons stuff for the flight in it. Then when we got to the hire car it was ready to just put in the car.

Re: Car seats
We once flew with our full size car seat (thinking, in part it would be more comfortable for the boy on the plane). NEVER again. What a miserable experience that was! A booster seat, maybe but never a full size car seat again.
The item you describe sounds really neat! Not sure I can picture it, but it sure does seem travel friendly.

I've found it http://www.amazon.co.uk/Trunki-Boost.../dp/B003HKQJFK
Or the other option we have found is a bubble bum booster seat http://www.bubblebum.co/

Re: Car seats
Wow that looks really good
If ever there is a tomorrow when we're not together.......
there is something you must always remember.
You are braver than you believe, stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think.
But the most important thing is, even if we're apart...... I'll always be with you.
Winne the Pooh - A A Milne
A friend is a hand that is always holding yours,
no matter how close or far apart you may be.
A friend is someone who is always there and will always, always care.
A friend is a feeling of forever in the heart.
.................
