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 used this for my 6yo (48 tall, 49lbs) on a recent trip where we were taking taxis numerous times. I love that this quickly deflates and rolls up small enough to stash easily in a backpack, and easily and quickly inflates for installation. Installation is very easy, and this does a good job of keeping the seatbelt in the correct place on my kiddos body when he sits up straight. However, this booster is much higher at the back than at the front. Maybe they thought this would compensate for a cars seat being sloped upward (if so, they overcompensated)? Or maybe it was so that it could stop mid-thigh without an uncomfortable drop-off. Whatever the reason, it leaves my kiddo sitting on a distinct downward slope, causing him to slide into an extreme slouch within minutes on every single ride. I would remind him to scoot his butt backwards , and he would, but within minutes he would forget and slide forward into a slouch again. Ill be looking for a different travel booster next time around.

My 6 year old said it was comfortable enough. Super easy to inflate, barely took any air. At first we thought it wasn’t inflated fully, but it’s just a little squishy. It was great paying $30 for a booster that fit in our luggage instead of having to pay $50+ to rent one from Turo. I would suggest putting a towel or a piece of grippy fabric under it as it can slide on some leather seats.

We have to re-inflate after every use.

We needed something for our 6 yr old for a 5 day vacation. After looking around at a few products, some very similar, I decided on BubbleBum. It worked out perfect. Its compact, fitting easily into luggage or a backpack. It installs/uninstalls very easy, with no hassle. The only issues I had, its skinny, her butt just fit onto it. My biggest issue though, the location of the mouth piece to blow it up, which sits right in the crack of the seat. Its elevated just enough to not be touching it all the time, but it does touch a very dirty part of any cab/Uber, etc, just because people sit there. I had to buy alcohol wipes to sanitize between rides. I think these should be included, just because travel does sometimes mean taxis and such. Other than that, we loved this thing. Now, I do see some reviews complaining about being uncomfortable, or whatnot with long trips and such, but the thing is, that is not what this is meant for. Its for quick, in and out uses when you have no choice and cant bring a real car seat or booster. If youre long term car traveling, just bring an actual booster.... With that said, for what this is made for, and how it is meant to be used, it works, and it works well.

While the concept is lovely for travel, the seat didn’t stay in place. It slid out from underneath my kids butts and proved useless on the first ride in our rental car. We drove straight to a big box store and bought replacement seats with a base that doesn’t slide. Even with the strap in the clips on the sides and the back strap for the shoulder strap, it just gets tangled once the kids started to slide. Just as a note for future buyers: This might be my own poor understanding of the product description and photos, but I had thought the inflatable portion was optional and there was still some structure to the seat. I would have not purchased the seat had I known it doesn’t have any structure aside from the air you put in it.

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.

I dont hate it but I dont love it either. Its smaller then I thought it was and I just dont feel as though its really safe for my 7 year old very petite grandaughter. Going to return it.

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.

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.

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.
