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

We went on a family cruise and needed a car seat for our 4 year old granddaughter. We just had short trips while traveling to and from airport and while at port. Worked perfectly and easy to transport.

This was a last minute purchase for a city trip that we realized would likely involve some taxi/Lyft rides. We have the mi-fold high back booster seat from last year, but thats way too big to easily toss in a backpack and carry around all day. Plus, my child is taller and heavier now (a small age 7), so a backless booster is OK. The Bubble Bum was easy to use, very portable, and my child said it was plenty comfortable. The seatbelt came to the right spot on her body thanks to the strap on the back and the belt loops on the side of the seat. Well reach for this again for any trip that could involve occasional taxi/Lyft trips. I wonder how the Bubble Bum compares to the MiFold backless seat, which is currently unavailable, and maybe even smaller to carry around.

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.

Great for short trip carpooling to keep in trunk in a pinch as it fits between any full size carseat/booster. A star off as not a great belt positioner for backrow middle seatbelt from car ceiling.

I was surprised at how little this inflates. It barely boosts them up at all. It does, however, direct the seatbelt nicely over the child’s lap and chest.

These are great for Airplane Travel. We have three in boosters (7, 9, 10) and didnt want to check three seats for the rental car. These fit in carry-on luggage and were super easy to inflate when we landed. Stayed inflated for an entire week and deflated/rolled up in less than a minute when we arrived back at the airport. Definitely use the guide buckles, especially for smaller/skinnier kids, to make sure the seatbelt is positioned correctly. Note: for younger/smaller kids who still use high backs, this might not be enough support. It is smaller than a typical booster and doesnt have sides.

Purchased this nifty booster seat to use between two big boy Britax Frontier Car seats. My backseat is not wide enough to accommodate a standard high back or back less booster seat between too car seats. I have been looking for a skinny booster to increase my kiddo car seat arrangement for play dates and came across this model. It is being used my my 5 year old or one of his friends when I bring other kids home for play dates. It works a treat. It positions my son correctly for the seat belt to sit where it should and with the side clip you know that lap belt part is in the right place. Too high and their internal organs can get damaged if the belt tightens and they are thrown forward :( On occasion another child will use this seat and my son sits in front with me in a high backed booster. I feel the other child using the booster is nice & safe. I have had no issues with my kiddos sliding off the sides of this seat when going around corners but then it is wedged between to car seats so there really is no where for them to go. I would agree that the seat is a bit short and could be uncomfortable on long journeys if it cuts into the back of the childs legs. This is the reason I have given it 4 stars over 5. Perhaps the company might read the reviews and feedback for this booster and make some adjustment to increase its length. For me it suits its purpose wonderful and very pleased to have found it.

Edit: Since my review, I was contacted by the manufacturer. Turns out, they have a one year warranty, and sent me a replacement air bladder for my seat. In fact, their main concern seemed to be needing the batch number so they could determine the reason for the fail, and if there were others that had the same issue, not whether or not my seat qualified for warranty (it did). Absolutely no hassle, friendly and prompt customer service. Totally makes up for the disappointment of a problem with the seat. The seat is back in the van to use whenever we have extra kids to fit in. While it isnt as convenient as a regular booster (kids usually need help buckling) It is highly rated for safety, (on the top booster list for recent IIHS saftey testing). The incognito booster is for kids over 60lbs (my 8 r old is only 52) and the mifold has tons of fit and safety issues still, so its Bubblebum for the win when you need a narrow booster for travel, or occasional use. I wouldnt personally use it daily, as my only child big enough to use it (The oldest of the kids I drive around, so he will move into the bubblebum, so a younger kid gets his Graco Affix when we have extras) needs help to be sure hes correctly in this, where he can buckle alone in a standard booster. A small matter, but worth mentioning, as its the only disadvantage of the seat. It is also not as long as most car seats, so im not sure how comfortable it would be for a long trip. We have only used it for a 2 hr ride or less. I was comparing this seat, the saftey first incognito booster and the mifold for use as an occasional seat when fitting extra kids in my van. I have an 8 passenger Honda Oydessy, and while fitting 3 car seats across the middle is easy, not so in the back seat. Car seats for the littles (.org) Had rated this well, and the mifold was rated to have several fit issues depending entirely on the vehicle you were using, so I opted to purchase this. It was fabulous!!! My 8 yr old son (52, 52lbs) fit easily between the two regular booster seats in the back seat, and I could put the three larger seats across the middle, and completely solved the 6 kids in car seats fit issues. I used it approximately 10-20 times, however before it went flat. I had had a friend who bought one with the same result, and we both thought that hers may have been an anomaly, until mine did the same. I re-inflated a couple of times and hoped for the best, but after being sat on a minute or so, it was once again flat. While the seat belt positioners do still work, the seat is clearly labeled that it must be inflated for use. If youre looking for something you can continue to use until it expires, this seat might not be it. The same friend who had trouble with the bubblebum has used the safety first incognito seat for 3 years, Ill be looking into that instead. *EDIT: I have discovered that the incognito will not work for my son, as it is for children 60-100 lbs. I have been contacted by the manufacturer of bubblebum, and am happy to give them a chance to address my issue. I will edit again when this is resolved.

size is not big , only for small kids

I love how small and space saving they are. Bought 2, they fit perfectly in the third row of my SUV with a rear facing car seat in between them. Easy to store and clean, perfect.
