For one it's stupid costly to rent car
seats, in my experience rental places want upwards
of $ 15 / day or more to rent a single car
seat (I have been quoted $ 25 a day) after a few days you can exceed the cost
of simply
purchasing new... Meaning you could have
purchased a brand new in the box car
seat and checked that at the luggage counter complete with all it's factory packing that should allow it to arrive undamaged and you now have a backup or travel car
seat complete with packaging...
Second you have no idea about the condition
of that rented car
seat, as you imply, unseen damage is well unseen regardless
of claims
of «inspection» by the rental company, there is no way they can't tell if it's damaged if the damage is unseen, they are only doing visual checks nothing more... In the end there is nothing to assure you that your «rented» car
seat will be in any better condition then one you brought with you or that it wasn't in an unreported «accident» from the previous renters or mishandled by the previous renters... If safety is you end goal, renting a car
seat at your destination is not inline with that goal...
Another accessory I miss from my bob is the cupholder in the back for the parents that had additional storage, and when using the
second seat there's little to no storage without the
purchase of additional accessories, I have a backpack style diaper bag right now but obviously no one wants to always be holding their diaper bag and there's no where to put it.
It saves you money when you're ready for that
second seat when the new sibling arrives and you don't have to go
purchase another stroller, just the cost
of the
second seat with adapters.
