[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would fly. Seriously. I do NOT drive any farther than two hours with kids. [/quote]

I would if I thought I could get two kids and car seats installed in a rental by myself. [/quote]

You can totally do that, and it will be easier than driving. How far do you have to drive once you reach your destination? (Could you cab?)

Pack all your stuff in one suitcase. Check the suitcase and bring a backpack for carry on. Bring a stroller and a carrier for the toddler.

Bring a regular car seat for the young one, and a booster for the 5 yo (you may even be able to slip it into your suitcase). If it were me, I'd also check the car seat.

Baby in the stroller, backpack on your back, for transit within the airport. When you get your luggage, put everything on the cart, including the stroller, and put the baby in the carrier. Pick up the rental car. Sit the 5 yo in the front passenger seat and strap the toddler into the stroller while you install the baby seat. Strap in the baby, put the big kid in the booster, then once the kids are safely strapped in, load up your luggage.

And yes, echoing PP, most hotels have deadbolts on the inside, or safety chains.[/quote]
