Hi,
I'm not actually in the Bay Area. Im in San Diego.

I will have to look into that. 
Thank you so much for your help.

How tall is your child and how heavy? 

I use a really great booster seat for my son who is 4 1/2. He started using it at about 2 1/2 years of age when I needed to carry a car seat around. It is the Graco... Maybe called the Graco Turbo? It is a booster seat with cupholders that pop out the sides, has armrests, and a back support that can come off. It's really great and light weight and inexpensive. I use a yoga strap threaded through the back and I throw it over my shoulders and carry it whenever I need it. Now that he doesn't need the back support part I can throw the seat into a tote. 

Where in the bay area do you live? I'm happy to meet up with you and maybe show you what I've got.

Something that can easily be put in and taken out without being time consuming. As I know that the Para transit drivers aren't allowed to help. I also need it to be light weight enough that I can carry it by myself and still have a hold of my son and cane at the moment, soon to be switched for a Guide Dog.
