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 seat to travel with after a plane trip. It was light weight and easy to pack. The seat is soft, but it slid a little bit when my 5 yo grand daughter climbed onto the seat, making the seat belt buckling challenging. The seat slid over the buckle attachment every time she climbed in, so I ended up pulling her to the side to access the buckle. We put her in the center of the back seat of a Subaru Forester. The seat feels comfortable enough to carry into restaurants to use as chair booster.

I definitely appreciate the manufacturer filling the void for a narrow booster seat, with the bonus of traveling well, but it isnt perfect. Pros: It is actually 12 across, as advertised. I have found several seats on amazon with widths that are not their actual width, which makes it difficult to select a seat when you have major size restrictions The color is beautiful The seat is as substantial as you can get when going the mini/inflatable route. The material is decent quality, as are the plastic hooks that hold the seat belt It easily fits back into the storage bag. Cons: It is inflatable, therefore a bit unstable. I bought this primarily for travel in spring with my not quite four year old, but since we have had a terrible time finding narrow boosters for our new car, I had my 9.5 year old twin boys try it out. After they resigned themselves to sitting in the little pink seat, they found it tippy, weird, and some what challenging to get the red hooks on the belt. They both managed to do it after they were shown twice, but it took much longer than their previous boosters (Britax Parkways). It took a good 2-3 minutes, which feels like forever early in the morning when you are trying to get everyone where they need to be on time. They both managed proper positions without the need for the shoulder belt guide (thank goodness, because I couldnt handle waiting for one more hook) Although they both managed to sit their bottoms on the seat, my child with a more bubble bum didnt fit as well as my thinner child. Bottom line, this isnt the most comfortable, secure, or kid-friendly seat, but it does the job if you are pinched for space, in either your vehicle or luggage space. We need to be under 17 inches wide, and will be trying the cosco no back booster and the graco turbo booster with affix next...Just FYI, the Clek Ozzi and Olli are over 18 with the arm rests, just in case you were getting excited that it may work, with the advertised seat width of 12.5

Assuming your child is of an appropriate height and weight to use this booster, it’s a really hard option to beat for travel! Being able to transport this in the small carry bag included is really convenient and being able to unpack it and set it up in any vehicle nearly instantly is wonderful. We don’t travel all that often, but if we’re flying somewhere and dealing with a rental car on the other end, this just makes life much easier than dealing with a traditional booster seat.

I was against this purchase for my kids. I said it would be too wobbly. Needless to say my wife ordered and kids (also girls) love the thing. It fits the bill as fitting between two carseats in the back. I still say its not safe because the kid in the middle gets their head smashed by the outside of the carseat in an accident. But if you have a lot of kids, you can spare a few right? Just kidding moms! There are times when you need this kind of seat and it works because it raises the kid off the seat bottom so the seat belt fits. It would be best of course to leave them in the carseat with a 5pt. harness and padded sides (britax of course) as long as you can. This would also be a good travel seat because you can deflate it. Which reminds me, if you bring this thing on an airplane, a trip up the mountains, or in a hot car hear in the south, be sure to check to see that this thing is not going to pop. I dont have any experience with this particular seat popping but I do know that the fixed volume could be a problem. One suggestion is to have it filled with nitrogen at your local tire shop or car dealer (they love to sell the stuff at an incredible mark-up) but it really would help in the heat expansion problem because of the lack of moisture. As soon as mine pops, I will update this review and tell my wife I told you so.

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.

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.

We used this for a trip with our granddaughters and it was an absolute delight for ease of use.

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.

I like this booster as a travel booster. It is compact and easy to transport, inflate and deflate. It is very lightweight and my 6 yo likes to carry it with her. It is comfortable under her. I think it would also make a perfect car-pooling booster as it is so easy to slip in a backpack and to learn to use. I would not recommend this as an everyday booster though, or maybe just for older kids who already ride a backless booster, because the should strap moves too easily. If the kid moves in the seat (and which kid does not ?), for instance leans forward or to the side, the shoulder strap becomes displaced (there is no way to lock the position) and does not come back into place (like it would do in a high back booster). As a result, the belt is still correctly positioned on the lap but not on the shoulder, and comes too close to her neck., and I end up readjusting it or nagging my child not to squirm so much - which is unpleasant for everybody. Of course it comes without side impact protection, so again, OK if you kid is already big enough to ride a backless booster, but as for me as long as they can fit a high back booster this is what they will ride on the daily. Attractive fabric pattern.

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.
