I believe you can buy a relatively inexpensive seat belt attachment that
will allow you to adjust it to work properly on a child. I can't for the
life of me remember the brand name, but it is made of fabric (I think
nylon) and quite portable (roll it up and have your wife carry it in her
pocketbook). You slip the end of the seatbelt through this piece, and it
makes the shoulder strap actually go across your child's shoulder...

Might not be as good as a car seat, but definitely better than nothing!

I am planning a trip including my five year old son to Niagara falls
next weekend. We are flying into Niagra Falls International Airport
(IAG) and plan to stay only for the day. The problem is how to get
from the airport to the falls and back. The natural choice is a taxi,
but what do we do with the car seat once we get there? I'd rather not
carry it around all day. We could of course rent a car, but that
seems like an overkill just to create a place to put the car seat. Is
there any place to store a car seat near the falls? Is there any other
reasonable transportation from IAG to the falls for five adults and
two children that will not require a car seat (we can always leave it
on the plane)? or am I overly cautious in thinking we need a car seat
for two ten minute taxi rides?
