RideSafer Vest Users
So we are taking a trip with the kids in the near future and for the first time are not renting a car. Both of our girls will have the vest because we are only going from/to the airport. I reserved a SuperShuttle.
I don't want to be denied transportation because the driver doesn't know what the vest is. Has anyone ever had a problem with using the vest in a taxi or shuttle?

OP, I've not used the Ride Safer vest yet, but I suspect it won't be a problem on Super Shuttle. The only issue I could see is if the van doesn't have shoulder harnesses, in which case some of the newer vests would not work.

We are going to CA. I may have to choose a different option. Here is what I sent them:
Here is the reply I got:
ETA: Our version can be used without a 3 point seatbelt, however it has to use the anchor to do that.
Hi. I wanted to verify that the drivers are aware of what a RideSafer Travel Vest is. My daughters are 3 and 4 and we were planning on bringing those to use for their child restraint system and I do not want to be denied service because of a lack of understanding. Here is their website for reference with the link to the California section that says it is an approved CRS: http://saferide4kids.com/technicians_laws/#California If someone would please send an official confirmation to my email that I can show the driver I would be more comfortable. I'm only concerned because it looks different than a regular car seat but it is an approved child restraint system for children 3 and over and I don't want to end up in a disagreement with the driver when we arrive nor when we need to return to the airport. Thank you!
Dear firespirit
I do know about the carseats that you have so I do not want tosay yes or no.
Thank you for choosing SuperShuttle.

Is there a big cost difference to take a cab? Shouldn't be an issue there.
