Be Cautious When Considering The Car Seat Rentals Maui Agencies Offer

By Gary Snyder


Many parents are hesitant about renting equipment designed to keep their children safe and secure. When they purchase this kind of gear, they often do research in advance and compare styles and brands. If you are traveling out of state, you may not have the luxury of taking all your child's necessities with you. When that is the case, there are some things you can do to make sure car seat rentals Maui agencies lease, for example, are acceptable.

You probably won't assume the agency has the vehicle you want to rent, and you should not assume they have the right size child restraints either. Calling ahead is critical. You need to reserve a seat and ask questions. You need to know that the seats are cleaned after each use and inspected regularly.

Once you get to the leasing company, it will be up to you to install the child seating. The staff will not be able to help you in any constructive way because of their liability concerns. Not all states are the same when it comes to child safety laws. You need to know in advance how Hawaii addresses the issue.

Carefully inspecting the actual seating the agency has reserved for you is critical. Hopefully you have gotten the correct size seating for your child. You should not accept any equipment that is frayed, torn, or is showing signs of wear. It is a good idea to pull on the buckles to make sure they don't detach.

Seats are not safe if they are too big or too little for the children using them. Hopefully you have reserved the right size, and the agency has it on hand for you to install. You need to check the expiration date and try to get seating that is less than five years old. The agency should give you a manual. You should probably check online for recalls before you accept the seating.

You can't assume the agency will include a base with the seating. Most of them don't. This is a question you should ask beforehand. You might need the manual to help you install the equipment without the base. A pool noodle or rolled towel will work as a level to help secure the seating.

It is not unusual to get to the leasing company only to find out the seating you reserved is unavailable or unacceptable. If this happens to you, buying an inexpensive, but one that meets safety standards, car seat is a good option. Before you leave for home, you can donate it to a local child care center or a hospital.

Renting child restraint vehicle seating can be difficult. You should never settle for what agencies have available. Your child is too precious, and it is too dangerous to put little kids in seats that may not be safe and secure.
