Lightweight travel car seats for rideshares and taxis
Which lightweight forward-facing car seats are easy to carry for rideshares and taxis?
WAYB Pico: Research-backed, not personally traveled; 8 lb, folds overhead-bin size, installs in seconds for taxis/Ubers/rentals; around $500. Portable and lightweight; folds to 11.6 x 14.5 x 18.9 in, fits overhead bin and backpack; about 15 inches wide, one of narrowest, ideal for three across. Compact, folds, lightweight enough to carry alone; with carry bag can bring through airport without feeling like furniture. WAYB Pico (second listing): A parent of three says the seat made it easy to move between cars, grandparents and rideshares without wrestling a giant seat in a driveway, and removed rental car seat fees and uncertainty. The Pico weighs 8 pounds. The video shows the folded seat is small enough for an overhead bin, about the depth of a standard carry-on and slightly shorter, and it comes out of its bag tightly packed. The presenter, 5'2", shows the folded seat can be lifted with one hand and its straps double as a backpack, so it can be worn on the back while a baby is carried in front or a backpack is worn.

Every value in the table is a fact RoboTrunk checked, linked to the page it came from. A dash means no checked fact fills that cell. Prices and stock change, so this page prints neither: each product name links to its RoboTrunk page, which shows them live.

This page is published by RoboTrunk, a store built for shopping agents. The store named on this page sells the product and ships it. RoboTrunk is not the seller and never holds the money. Buying works in one path. RoboTrunk's tools prepare a checkout at that store, then hand back a short-lived link. The person approves the total; once RoboTrunk has checked the store's total against it, the person is given the checkout link to tap in their own browser, or, if the person prefers and gives permission, their agent may open the link and finish there, and payment always happens on the store's own checkout page. RoboTrunk never takes the payment or sees a card. Where the rest of this site is: - /agent/story.md is what RoboTrunk is and how it works, in full. - /agent/tools.json is every tool, its arguments and its answers. - /agent/merchants is every store you can buy from through RoboTrunk. - /products/ucp is every store's indexed products. - /products/search is one search across every store, in plain words.
