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 ordered this for a trip to Chicago with my family. My daughter is 6 years old and 48 inches tall. She still needs a booster, and I needed a portable option for uber-ing around the city. This was perfect! It positioned the belt perfectly across her lap, and the shoulder adjustment was super easy to slide from side to side for different cars (I do realize it needs a slight adjustment in this pic, which I did but did not retake photo). It also fit in small middle seats between two adults, including the center seat on the third row of a mini-van. My child needed help from an adult to buckle in properly, but my 10 and 12 year olds were able with some coaching to figure out how to help their sister buckle in. It doubled as a “booster” in restaurants with deep chairs. My daughter loved her seat and said it was comfortable. It easily inflated with just a couple breaths, and easily deflated. It helped to close the valve to keep it deflated because it will partially inflate when you open it. Once rolled up and in its bag, the booster fit in my Kavu bag with a little room to spare for other items. This seat was absolutely perfect for our trip, and I plan to keep it in my van for spontaneous play dates. The only thing I would change is to make the drawstring on the carrying bag more substantial or add a loop so that you can easily hang it from a bag with a caribiner. I ended up tying loops in the drawstring and attaching it to the outside of my bag because some days I needed the space in my Kavu for kids’ jackets. If I took a smaller purse to dinner, my husband just carried it in his hand, so some kind of handle would have been nice.

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.

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!

I bought this for my 8 year old while we traveled out of town. It is compact and light weight enough that he carried it in his backpack, inflated in less than a minute, and was easy enough that he could install it on his own (after supervised practice)! The shoulder strap was perfect for bringing the seatbelt to a good spot on his shoulder as well. My son said that it was very comfortable to sit on and it was even tiny enough that we could sit 3 people across (him and two adults) in the back seat of a midsized car. I love that I now have a backup car seat if a friend comes to the house to play or if my son is traveling with someone else. Highly recommend - a great buy!

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.

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.

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 am giving this five stars because it does what I think it is designed to do: serves as a stopgap measure when no other option is available. This is no way is adequate for anything other than short rides when you cannnot carry a proper booster seat. We used it for four cab rides - one to hotel from airport, one back to airport from hotel and two short urban cab rides while in city we were visiting. It does not boost very high, slides easily and can position seatbelt appropriately with some care and attention while child focuses on not moving around much. Both the seat, and the child on the seat, and the belt positioner move around easily and children need to focus to make sure everything is in the right place. If you cannot carry a regular booster seat with you this is a good tool to make sure that rides are safer. But you should never consider this a replacement for a booster seat for regular travel that extends beyond short trips. Our son is eight and about 58 pounds and still requires a belt positioner to have everything at the correct height. I included picture from three cab rides. The belt positioner should be lower in third picture. It was the first time I used it and did not have height correct. Good for travel conundrums or very short rides where regular seat is difficult or impossible to manage. Requires help by adult installing seat and positioning things correctly but also cooperative child who will sit still.

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.

Worked great on a recent trip, it was nice to be able to pack it down for the flight and not have to worry about carrying it through the airport for use at the destination
