BubbleBum Inflatable Travel Booster Seat for Car, Portable Booster Seat for Car - Backless, Foldable & Narrow Slim Fit -Travel Car Seat for Kids 40-100 lbs - Black

This is perfect for having a few extras in my backseat for when we bring a friend or two home from kindergarten. Easy to inflate, yet helps boost 5 and 6 year olds to safe riding heights.

I like that this product is very, light, easy, and very handy. We used it when we travel and needs to use uber or lyft. What i dont like it is its too low a little higher and bigger would have been great. By the way my daughter used this when we went to Disney world and had to wait for the parade. She was able to use this to seat on the pavement.

Works well. Holds the kid snugly on the car seat. Inflation and deflation is literally a breeze. Deflating it takes as much time as it takes to pay the cabby. Does its job as advertised. The only negative is that it does not provide any side support for a sleeping child. Though the seat belt will hold him in place. Had to buy the Diono Seatbelt pillow on Amazon to go with it. The pillow did help but still not the same as the conventional car seat with side wings that a kid could rest his head on. However, this seat is unbeatable as a travel seat. Very neatly rolls up into a compact cylinder - the size of a large water bottle yet much lighter. Easy to stuff into a backpack and take it on travels. Doubles as a pillow to make the economy class seat more comfortable. It isnt very wide when deployed. So 3 kids, or 1 kid and 2 adults can sit in a compact car back. The adults cant even tell that they are sharing the bench seat with a car seat. Bottom line: The very best travel booster seat, however dont throw away your regular booster seat though. Your child will be more comfortable in the regular booster seat. Take advantage of the best of both worlds - at home on your regular booster seat and while travelling in the Bubble Bum inflatable booster seat. In summary a must have if you travel often with children.

A real live saver true and true - hopefully its never officially put to THE test. Being a first time Corvette Stingray owner I had no idea that finding a booster seat that not only fit the seat but was safe would be so difficult. After about 10 trips using it I can say its great, I do need to help my 7 year old son get strapped in properly but IMO thats to be expected. The fit and finish appear to be excellent, I havent noticed any damage done to my seat although I plan to put something underneath just to be safe - likely the nonslip material used to line shelves and drawers. One minor frustration with it (in the grand scheme VERY minor) is the difficulty in blowing it up - the air is quick to escape as you tighten the nozzle - I had to keep blowing as I twisted the locking cap. I only drive the car on nice days and I only have my son 50% of the time so I could see it being a bigger issue if I had to deflate/refill it often as some will find the portability of this to be the real reason to buy as its VERY portable and comes with a very nice carrying bag. ***I do not get compensated for my wonderful reviews***

This was recommended by our pediatrician as a solution for seating our kids three-across in the car. We have it next to a standard Graco booster and a Diono Radian car seat in a Dodge Journey. My daughters take turns riding in it. Oldest is almost 9 and weighs about 70lbs. Her butt fits in this booster, but I wouldn’t buy it for a child any heavier than she is. Normally I encourage my 6yo to sit in it since there other booster is wider. I like that it can be deflated and packed away for vacations, or even to squeeze into a backpack if the child is going to be riding home with someone else. It would be nice if there was a way to inflate the seat without using your mouth. That would make it easier and more sanitary for grandma to inflate after the child carries it to school.

We really like our booster seat, but it is a bit big to travel with. In fact, every time we went to the airport, they made us try and stuff it through the x-ray machine. We would tell the TSA person that the last time or last two times, it got stuck, but they were persistent. And of course, it got stuck again. We decided that we needed an alternative for travel. After research, there are two decent options: the Trunki/Boostapak, which also functions as a backpack and is made of hard plastic, and the inflatable BubbleBum. Both are considered safe and include an adjustable belt positioning strap. The BubbleBum, however, is more practical for long car rides compared to the Trunki since the BubbleBum is naturally more comfortable (inflatable cushion vs. hard plastic). So, if you plan to fly and then travel in a car for a bit, this is your only option. Which is fine because this product is awesome. In fact, we purchased another one for the other car just because it is so convenient. If your child has a play date but needs to bring a car seat, or if you find that you have to suddenly transport one of your childs friends in your car, you are ready. If you need a third booster in between two larger car seats, this one will work. It is easy to use, my child--who can sometimes struggle with securing a seat belt--has no difficulties putting this one on. Additionally, it literally takes about 15 seconds to take it out of the bag, inflate it, and secure the positioning strap on the seat belt. If there is one con, it is just that you will have to check to make sure your child put the safety belt through BOTH red loops (pictured) on each side. Since I generally install the seat first, securing the positioning strap on the safety belt, I slip the safety belt into the red loop so that my child will just have to worry about positioning the strap and then buckling in on the other side, and slipping the safety belt into the other red loop. Thanks to all the other reviewers for writing such detailed reviews as it convinced me to purchase the first one. Hopefully, you likewise found this review helpful.

We needed something safe and portable for a trip to Europe with our 3.5 year old. Hes huge for his age (42 inches, and 42 lbs.) so he qualifies to use the bubble bum even though he is not 4 years old. It rolls up very compactly and comes with a small drawstring bag for storage. I brought it in my carryon backpack for the flight, and have been carrying a larger purse on excursions so we can bring it around with us. It is so easy and quick to inflate! I bring it out when my husband hails a taxi and in 45 seconds (4 or 5 puffs) its blown up and ready to go! It doesnt take long to slip the seatbelt through all 3 positioning clips, and my son loves sitting on it. Once the cab ride is done its easy to deflate and I roll it up to put back in my purse. I originally bought the Mifold for the trip, but returned it after I realized it was not rated by the IIHS. The bubble bum has been great and I love that the case is included in the price (with the Mifold it was not). As a random side note this also doubled as a pillow on the flight since its reasonably soft with the cover on it. I cant speak to durability as weve only had it for 2 weeks, but I plan to use this for domestic travel now as well vs lugging the high back booster around.

It was very easy to transport and then to inflate and literally use. Not only that it took up way less space then our other car seat booster especially in smaller backseats and very comfortable according to my little one who had to sit on it.

We used this booster for my daughter when we went away for a long weekend with friends. She was snug between two car seats. This booster did the trick - she was raised up so the seatbelt was in the correct place. It didn’t move much but that could have been because there really wasn’t anywhere for it to go. I would recommend for short trips but not on a regular basis.

It rolls up and fits in a small bag that I was able to put in my kids napsacks which we took on the plane with us. We use this in a rental car. They report it as being comfortable. You just blow it up and put it on the seat very convenient. The price of buying two of them was about the same as renting two of them for two days from the rental car company so a great value.
