Planning to travel to San Francisco (from Europe) with my 18 month old son to vist a friend. She advised me to bring a car seat with me since she does not have any extra (she has a 4year old) available for me. I really do not want to lug around my car seat since we are staying only a week. Is rental available? Or should I just ask my friend to purchase a second hand one?

You can definitely rent a car seat when you get there. No need to lug that thing with you! Check out http://www.thenewparentsguide.com/baby-equipment-rentals-california.htm

I did something similar last year with my daughter. I had my mom get a 2nd hand car seat for us to use and it woked out well. Mybe your friend can check out a thrift shop or yard sale for you?? If you are getting a rental car you CAN also rent a car seat with it...it may be a few extra dollars per day. I looked into that option as well. An 18 month old is enough to deal with...no need to also have to worry about lugging a car seat as well! Believe me...i know! I even left a stroller behind at the airport because it was just too much! Have a safe trip!!

I disagree with some of the others' answers on here. Why should your friend get a car seat for your child? This is your kid/ your responsibility. Car seats can be rented at most rental car agencies. A second-hand car seat would not be a good idea. California has strict laws about what is considered safety compliant. Anything used probably isn't up to standard.

as a mom my self I have traveled with kids that age I know what you mean ,
I think you need to bring you're car seat if you're son has a chair in the air plane.
but if he is a lap baby since he is under 2 years old
just ask you're friend to get you one at a thrift shop there .it's cheaper that having to bring one across the globe .
Good luck and have a safe trip .

Why not leave the baby at home? You and your friend would probably have more fun without him around, anyway.

have her buy a second hand one ..they run $5.00 to $15.00 and a whole lot easer..if you rent a car most places have them there as part of your rental.

I think it would be best to just ask your friend to go get another one.
