[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You could do without but setting up a car seat in a Zipcar or Uber every time you need it would be a serious hassle.  Not necessary to get a car but certainly more convenient.[/quote]

It's extremely easy to set up a lightweight carseat in a rental/zipcar/uber if you buy the right model. Probably takes about 20 seconds if you know what you're doing with the belts and does not take a lot of effort/strength. Never had a problem while traveling.[/quote]

I imagine that it would be helpful to the OP if you were to recommend your 20-second-install model.[/quote]

I'm a different poster (posted on the first page about being carless with no issues with a one year old, although the first month would be tougher with covid). Just wanted to jump in and answer this - if you are going carless, your best carseat option is the chicco fit2. It's the longest lasting infant bucket seat on the market (a kid in the 85% will still fit in it on his second birthday) and infant bucket seats that then snap into stroller is WAY easier for things like cabs rather than dealing with a convertible car seat. You do not need the base - we sold ours to someone who needed a second one. We practiced a few times getting it into friends cars before the baby came, and we quickly learned to install in < 20 seconds. You can go right from a chicco fit2 to an immi go to a bubble bum. Easy peasy. [/quote]
