Hi! We are going to Costa Rica with our 3 young kids for a second time and unfortunately the first time we didn’t do enough research on what kind of vehicles we’d be riding in so the kids ended up riding with no car seats at all because ours would not install 🫣 the airport to resort transfer is an hour and I’d like them to be restrained as safely as possible this time. I’m going in with the assumption that the vehicle we’ll be riding in will only have lap belts again, but I’m not sure if they’ll have tether anchors. It’s unlikely. Please give me suggestions for what to do! I was thinking ridesafer vests or the WAYB pico but you need a tether anchor for both I think :/

My kids are 2.5 (36 inches, 32 lbs) and 5.5 year old twins (40/42 inches respectively, 37ish lbs)

Also posted this in r/CPST but if you’ve done this trip I’d love some suggestions :)

Hi everyone, I’m going to be reposting this thread on a weekly basis so that everyone has a fair chance of getting responses to their questions. Again, please limit all redshirting (holding children back) posts and questions to this thread.

*PLEASE NOTE* Please only inquire about redshirting summer or cusp birthdays. The majority of us do not condone holding children back with birthdays that fall within months of the cutoff (ie March birthday with a September cutoff). In these cases, it is best to start the child on time and seek out support services through the school for any delays, and/or reassess with the teacher at the end of the year if they could benefit from retention.
