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

I purchased this item because it can fit in the middle seat in the back with 2 rear facing carseats. I only use it when I have my niece and I just have my oldest sit in the middle. There werent any tips/ tricks or instructions on how it should be placed /worn in the car. Theres two red seatbelt holders (one on each side), which is extremely tricky for my 5 yr old to do by herself and the seatbelt tends to fly out and doesnt stay put after attaching seatbelt.

So easy to use for when friends or family are picking up my kids and for rental cars when we travel.

I like everything about this one. Not heavy, easy to clean and durable

Bought this for my son on our recent vacation to Grand Cayman. It worked amazing it was easy to install and my son was able to get in and out easily without much fuss. Very compact and was easy to carry in his backpack.

I purchased this as a travel booster seat for my 7 yr old daughter to use in a rental car at Disney. It was easy to roll up in the pouch provided and fit right into her backpack. When we went to the car, it took me under a minute to blow up and install. The red hooks on both sides secured nicely on the male and female ends of the seatbelts. The seat stayed inflated the entire time (10 days) and uninstalled just as quickly, rolling up and going back into her backpack. Now that we own it, we will keep it easily accessible as a spare for any family who wants to take her somewhere to use rather than her bulky Graco seats currently in our cars.

Got the seat and blew it up. It is basically an air seat that raises the child up to fit the seat belt better. This is great for traveling. We are going on a 5 city vacation and will save the space and hassle of carrying a full size seat especially when going in and out of uber and walking around. Fits nicely in the backpack. Dont know how long it will last but if it makes it through one or 2 trips it is well worth it.

Seemed like an unsafe idea at first but it’s safety rated which sold me. Traveling with it on a plane is amazingly easy and easy assembly upon arrival. No more lugging large and heavy car seats through airports again! It was such a deterrent to travel before for that reason but no longer!

BLUF: the bladders dont last. They work for a period of time and then leak without fail. If you intend to use this as an every-day/primary booster seat, dont. It wont last. It seems like a smart idea for both travel and to have a spare booster for friends/family, but given my experience with the unreliable bladders, I dont think I would recommend for travel because thats exactly where/when you dont want the thing to fail. I own 2 of these since December 2016. One is used all the time as the primary booster for my 50-60 lb (from then to now) son in one of our two cars (its rated for 40-100 lbs). He is squeezed in between his forward-facing little sister and rear-facing little brother in a relatively narrow car (Ford C-Max Energi), so this was basically the only workable solution there (because its narrow). The other has always been a spare we keep in our other, much larger vehicle. I have lost count of how many times I have had to replace the bladders, but its definitely more than 8 times. Initially, they were being replaced under the 1 year manufacturers warranty (which was an easy, relatively fast process). I think they may have given me one or two freebies, just outside of the warranty window as well. Last couple I had to pay for. I bought 2 when one failed, knowing that it would just happen again, and it just did, prompting me to write this review. My son is not doing anything destructive to cause this. There are no sharp or abrasive objects on or near him or the seat. The leaks all occur in different parts of the bladder. I know this because when they happen, I identify the leak by submerging in water in the hopes that it is in a place that can be repaired with the type of patch youd use on a therm-a-rest air mattress. Sometimes they could, but not usually (too close to or on a seam, etc.). Additionally, when they fail, sometimes its not just a leak. They have some kind of stitching in them to give them a shape to form a comfortable seating surface (vs. just a ball of air). That stitching or whatever it is that gives it that shape often fails at the same time as the leak occurs (or thats when I notice). The included image shows that - there is supposed to be an oval in the center , but the top part of the oval has failed. Not sure if that make sense or comes through in the image but I dont know how else to describe it. The outer nylon shell, all webbing, and the little bit of cushioning are all intact, well-made, and nice-looking. Their customer service is great. Bladders, terribly unreliable. I bought two replacements in August of 2018, direct from manufacturer. Today the 2nd one of those two failed. Less than 5 months of continuous use per bladder. BTW, were not talking about hours and hours of use each day - it gets sat on, on average, maybe 3x/week, for max of maybe a half-hour trip, but usually much shorter. Sorry this is so long and somewhat disorganized, I wanted to get the information out there and Im not going to spend the time to go back and edit this.

Grand daughter is too big for a car seat, but needed a little height to fit the normal car shoulder strap. This inflatable seat does the trick. It is inflated by mouth (and stays inflated for quite a long time). Weighs almost nothing. Has two plastic side seat belt attachments to secure the child in the seat. There is another attachment if you need more help with the shoulder strap. Cute colors, very sturdy fabric. One note: if your child still falls asleep while you are driving, this does not support the childs head or neck, so s/he will tip sideways if asleep (just as if you fell asleep in your car seat with seat belt and shoulder strap engaged). But, if this is the right seat adjustment for your child, its a great value.

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.
