For the flight home I do not think it is the law to use a carseat I think that is up to the parents to decide...and many people do use them because they need them where they are going....but, many people don't use them.

For the drive home from the airport--it depends on your state laws.....but, most states do have laws about car rides. The citiations are usually very high for car trips without a car seat and the injuries in a minor accident can be horrible without one.

Maybe it is possible for you to have a family memeber or friend loan or buy you a car seat--after you find out the weight and hight of the children?

Also, there are really only two basic kinds of car seats.... The ones for newborns are simply used differently then the ones for toddlers.

In an emergency oneday I placed my 48lb five year old in her 1-year old brothers car seat and readjusted the straps..... It was just fine and secure.....so I would error on buying the ones designed for infant and toddlers and then just adjust them when you get to the ariport.
