The one downside we found to this folding car seat is that there is no way to lock the seat when it is in its folded position. In addition to using it as a backpack and a car booster seat, the Trunki Boostapak with its wipe-clean cover makes a great booster seat for the movies too! This foldable booster car seat is small enough to fit in a handbag or child’s backpack and weighs just 1. This is the most expensive of the travel boosters we have reviewed in this article, but for the convenience and safety of your child, the RideSafer Travel Vest is invaluable! The first thing I noticed about the BubbleBum inflatable car booster seat is how it folds up small when not in use.

BubbleBum Booster Seat takes just 20 seconds to inflate for use, then deflates quickly and folds to a small size, perfect for popping into your hand luggage or backpack. It’s all very well having your chosen car seats fixed in your personal car but the real dilemma comes when dealing with car seat safety when travelling. This seat is a concept in the US, Volvo UK do not know if it will be available for the UK market when and if it goes into production - but if this seat is just as safe as other rear facing seats, wouldn’t it be a great option! I fly alone with my toddler and baby to Spain and having these booster would spare me from asking my friends to lend us one for the time of our visits. High-backed booster seats with ‘wings’ are the safest type, as they provide the best protection for your child’s head and neck in a side-impact crash.The contoured design coupled with air-cushioned comfort makes it comfortable for the child to sit on, while the positioning clip ensures the car’s seat belt fits properly across the lap.

A portable travel booster seat ensures your child’s safety whenever you rent a car or use a taxi away from home. Ride Safer Vest is a distant second, on a much higher budget but also quite incomparable to any others safety-wise.It’s simply a matter of inflating (quick and easy), putting on the car seat and adjusting the strap for the back so that the red hook is the right height for your child. Test dummies never slouch forward to get comfortable, only children, this is why it is important to use a seat with a slight raise in height). With its padded seat and adjustable head rest, plus flip-up arm rests, this is the most comfortable booster seat in our selection, which is important if your kids are going to be in the car for a long time. There is an inflatable booster seat, the Bubblebum, on the market currently, which is designed for children who are 4 years and older. Arron is quite tall for his age, but the BubbleBum didn’t actually give him quite enough lift to have the seat belt in a comfortable place, while the conventional types or car seats do.
