My question is; Will their bags come out at the normal baggage claim area or is there a transborder baggage claim area at YVR?

Can they leave YVR for a few hours with their bags and then recheck them at the transborder checkin at around 5pm?

Sitting at YVR for 8+ hours isn't fun for anyone.

thanks

You'll need to short check your bags to YVR. If you tag your bags to LAX, IIRC you need to clear US Immigration, pick up your bags, go through customs, drop your bags, then go through security.
