So at home I thought carefully about trying to get myself and 2 kids, our luggage and 2 car seats through the airport, away from baggage claim, and onto a shuttle to the car rental location. Knowing that I'd arrive at 6 am Boston time, even with folks usually being ever so helpful to a mom traveling with kids, I decided it best to be self sufficient and able to haul everything w/o help if needed. This turned out to be a very good choice as by the time all of our luggage arrived (car seats a distant last), everyone had already gone, and all that was left were the other families traveling with kids (who were all gone by the time I attached the car seats).It might have been a pain to haul the 3 wheeled stroller through the airport, but with the help of a couple of bungee cords, both car seats are suspended off the sides (look past deserted baggage claim area and the slightly haggard tired looking children and note that the car seats are not touching the ground).
It worked like a charm and I managed to haul through the terminal to the rental car shuttle while the kids rode.
Everything else went pretty smoothly. No traffic leaving the city, found a Starbucks right off. MMMM, Starbucks... Life is good.
