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

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.

We have to re-inflate after every use.

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.

My son has a growth delay which makes his bones and height appear two years younger than he actually is, so he needs to be in a booster longer. He has been embarrassed for friends to see him in a booster still, but this is a good compromise. His friends cant see it unless, yet it raises him enough for the seat belt to fit correctly.

This was a great option for a booster seat for us when we traveled overseas. It was small and easily payable unlike a standard booster seat. It was easy to use and inflate and my daughter had no problems using it. I would definitely buy again.

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 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.

This is an awesome addition to our travel gear. We were agonizing how we would travel safely with two little kids; we anticipate to regularly be taking taxi cabs without having a reasonable option of lugging two car seats around with us. While a full car seat is obviously preferable, the Bubble Bum is the next best thing. And it collapses small enough that I can fit two of them into a backpack with still some space to spare. N.b. even when collapsed, it isnt exactly tiny. This is thanks to the use of nicer and thicker materials; so, I cant really complain. But I am just glad I was already planning on taking a backpack with me. I wouldnt want to hold the booster in my hand for a lengthy amount of time while sightseeing about town. Even with the nice included bag, doing so would get old pretty soon. One positive surprise was my discovery that the Bubble Bum comes with an included (rudimentary) seat belt adjuster. Depending on the type of car and the size of the kid, this feature can come in quite handy. For some reason, I hadnt noticed that it was included, when I ordered the booster, and I therefore also got a BRICA seat belt adjuster. For the larger kid, I probably wont be needing the BRICA. But for the smaller kid, the BRICA adjuster provides extra comfort and ensures that the seat belt runs in the right place. The Bubble Bums seat belt adjuster sits on top of the shoulder, whereas the BRICA adjuster clips to the belt in front of the child. The two products can be combined, if so desired. Overall, the Bubble Bum is easy and fast to inflate and pretty straight-forward to install. It still takes a moment to get settled in, and I hope we wont run into too many impatient cab drivers. But even with two kids I dont expect I will need more than about a minute to get both of them buckled in -- assuming the cab even has proper seat belts on the back seats. A lap belt isnt compatible with this (or pretty much any other) booster. And unfortunately, where we are going, seat belts on back seats arent necessarily a standard feature.

We bought this for a trip that included limo service to/from the airport, a couple flights, and a rental car while we were there and this was the perfect travel booster seat solution. Just a few quick breaths and we had it ready for the limo ride, quick open of the valve and rolled up into our carry-on bag, then blew it up again to use the whole time in the rental car, then again just as easily back into our carry-on for easy access and quick use again for the limo ride home. No complaints from the seats occupant although I had read some felt like they were slipping off, etc, we didnt see that issue with our 8 year old. I would strongly recommend this as a travel solution for kids needing booster seats. Keep in mind booster seats are not permitted for use on planes unless they have been FAA approved so again, something like this that stores quickly, compactly, and easily into a carry-on or suitcase is likely to be the easiest solution.

Easy to bring along. Great for car pooling!
