Here is an inflatable car seat for smaller children -- ages 0 to 5.
Only 375 bucks.
I believe they do make inflatable car/booster seats for kids, which are easy to pack in luggage. It seems I remember we ended up getting one for our son when he was younger. Yeah, it's this "Bubble Bum" thing. They sell it here, too. But I guess it's only for kids age 4 to 11:
They do have and as I pointed in previous posts they ordered a taxi that completely satisfies local regulations. Good luck fighting this in court.
They met their legal obligation.

I can well commiserate the long travel woes to Rzeszow as I remember the 30+ hours bus travel in the nineties when there were still the border checks and no highways in Poland (except a few stretches of A4).
Unfortunately, due to Covid the EasyJet connection Geneva-Krakow is no longer there, and my SO plans to use Basel-Krakow instead, preferring just one hop instead of two. This flight is 3 times per week, but given that one has to get to Basel and back by train, and do Krakow<->Rzeszow as well, only the Friday connection is early enough to that.
There should be now "express" (pośpieszny") buses Kraków<->Rzeszów which take the new A4 highway and are a good alternative to the trains.
Well, you've reminded me a real chat with my brother in law in a village 30km away from Rzeszow:
My brother in law: so, summer time, I have to get up earlier to catch the local bus to Rzeszow.
Me: ?
- It is summer, fewer passengers, so the bus is doing the route more quickly and he is at a bus stop usually earlier than scheduled.
- Aha...
- But the worst thing is that the driver is smoking while driving.
- Couldn't you tell him something about it?
- What? Then he wouldn't stop to pick me up the next time!

Fingers crossed that EasyJet resumes the Geneva-Krakow route. It was always packed.
Driving Warszawa-Brzozów? This is the real driving experience in Poland at its worst because a large part of the road is a single carriageway (droga krajowa) two way road: the 50kmph in villages is largery ignored (unless the incoming drivers warn you by flashing the headlights of a speed trap (illegal)), you're speeding in a column of vehicles at 99kmph (they take your license if you cross the magic 50km above the limit posted), you have to constantly watch for cavalier overtakers from the opposite direction and be prepared to drive on the right road shoulder so that the incoming overtaking car can fit on your lane.
And then there are the drivers who really drive like it was a German Autobahn at very high speeds, usually in large BMW/Mercedes/SUV cars, high beams always on and assuming you'll get the hell out of there. I would call it "Russian style".
The road accident rate and the death per accident rate in Poland is among the highest in EU.
Side note for anyone in future - it is definitely possible for a child under 2 to have their own seat. More expensive of course and you’d need to take their car seat.
side note for everyone flying from Switzerland to Poland.
Always - and I literally mean it - check if this is a code share flight (so - physically one aircraft has two flight numbers).
Thanks to that I avoided paying too much for tickets at LOT.
Explanation:
code shared flight between SWISS and LOT, operated by SWISS aircraft.
SWISS had cheaper tickets than LOT.
