Thank you so much for tip. I checked out that, with rented vehicle, I can ask for car seat. Only thing, i have to check is with shuttle, if they have similar car seat available, if requested earlier.
For airports, I am carring small stroller for him. Hope this will be comforatble.

Back from this vacation.First, let me thank you all for valuable suggestions/inputs. This helped me a lot.
Overall, trip was very good, liked CA very much.
Here is the brief summary and our experience:
1. flight experience with airtran airways was good, no complaints. there was a last min change in my plan, they charged me $60

per person to change the tickets. In flight service was ok.
2. Stayed at Montecello Inn, in SF. I would definitely recommond this hotel, due to its perfect location, few steps away from powell stn.
We got 2 king bed upgrade, free, due to unavailability of queen beds. Though, I missed the wine reception, but enjoyed the

complimentory breakfast. Overall stay was good.
3. We took shuttle tour for SF. I agree, it was kind of action packed, but this us to cover SF main attractions in 1 day. SF tour was too

good. In the evening, we went to Pier39 to relax. I would recommend this tour, for those, who want to get an overall exp of SF in short time and then explore in detail individually.
4. We covered LA downtown, Hollywood, Universal and Disney, each on one day and rest day in between. Drove to Disney from

Pasadena and rest covered by Metro.

We feel lucky NOT to have long Qs at both Universal and disney. We were at Universal studio on 4th sept, and no rush at all. Almost, for

all the rides, we went in directly, very less waiting time. I would definitely recommend to go after labour day weekend, if possible.
Liked all the rides, in particular, Shrek4D,Jurassic and studio tour.

We were at disneyland on saturday. By noon, there was some rush, but we were there early morning, by 9.30. It took 10 min for us to

get tickets and entry to THE DISNEYLAND. We liked the Parade of Dreams, Fireworks,Fantasmic, Toon Town very much.

We were lucky to have good weather, not to hot.
In total, our dream visit to CA was very pleasant and good.
Thanks again to all you for making this happen.

bond007-Glad you had a good trip. The crowd situation is definitely better after Labor Day. Glad the weather cooperated for you. The week or so before Labor Day was unbearably hot. Hope you come back to California again sometime.
