Inflatable Booster Car Seat – Foldable, Lightweight, Backless Travel Booster Seat for Kids, Portable Carseat for Toddler, Fits 3 Across, Compact for Uber - Ages 4-11 Year Old, - Black

How did we ever travel without the BubbleBum?! We travel a lot and we were so tired of lugging around heavy, bulky car seats. We needed a trustworthy, portable option for our kids booster seats. We've used the BubbleBums on three different trips now and have been very happy with them. Pros: Easy to inflate. With just 5 breaths, it was inflated and ready to use. Easy to install - just inflate and strap your child into the seat with the seat belt. Kids can easily buckle themselves in and out. Deflate quickly, making them easy to pack and store. Very lightweight and fit into any car. Both kids found them comfortable to sit on during long car rides. They are narrow, making it possible to seat someone between them. They are covered with a lightweight material that makes it easy to wipe clean. Comes with a strap to use on plane rides as well. Cons: Because they are inflatable, it is not recommended to leave them in a car during long periods of time. Especially during extreme heat or cold spells. There are no cup holders, it's just the seat. But the kids were able to reach the cup holders in the backseat so it wasn't an issue for us. We are very happy with the BubbleBums Booster Seats and highly recommend them to anyone traveling with small children.

This thing has been a lifesaver. It fits perfectly between the bigger seats and is light weight making it easy for travel. The design is great, I’m a big fan of black. It’s way to clean and can be deflated and folded up when unneeded. The quality is great and my son loves it.

The BubbleBum inflatable booster seat has been a lifesaver for our family over the past three years. Its compact and portable design makes it perfect for travel, carpooling, and even everyday use. We've used it in rental cars, taxis, and our own vehicles with ease. The kids love it, and I love how simple it is to install and store. Recently, we encountered an issue where the seat started losing air, and after a thorough inspection, I couldn't find any visible damage. I reached out to BubbleBum's customer service, and I was absolutely blown away by their responsiveness and helpfulness. Within just two email exchanges, they confirmed that the BubbleBum comes with a lifetime warranty and arranged for a replacement to be sent immediately! The fact that they stand behind their product with such an incredible warranty and offer such prompt, courteous service speaks volumes about their commitment to customer satisfaction. It's rare to find a company that delivers on both product quality and customer support like BubbleBum. If you're looking for a reliable, portable, and safe booster seat with outstanding customer service, I wholeheartedly recommend the BubbleBum. It's truly a winner, and the lifetime warranty gives you peace of mind knowing you're investing in a product that's built to last. Five stars all the way!

We fly a lot, and having to carry so much already around the airports this little seat really helped with not adding even more weight to our bags. Easy to inflate and deflate, it rolls right back into the carry bag it came with, and is so lightweight.

Just perfect for our travels.Easy putting together and usage.I would recommend 100% this item.

We purchased three BubbleBums for our three kids in preparation for a vacation where we needed to rent a car after a flight. This was for our six year old daughter and three (almost four) year old twin sons. I understand a lot of people reading this would probably criticize me for using this at their ages, but in all fairness, all my kids did weigh the 40lb minimum stated by the manufacturer at the time of use. First off, I'd never use this seat every day or on long trips! But we have Diono Radians in our car for all three kids and those seats are expensive and way too heavy to travel with for three kids. For maximum ease of travel, we went with the BubbleBums for all three kids. We only had the kids riding in the car a total of three times in a week (one trip from and to the airport plus one other). Our rental was a Chrysler Pacifica minivan and we put all three kids in the second row with plenty of space to spare, of course. The concept is great and inflating them really only takes about two good breaths from an adult. It was nice to be able to throw all three seats into our stroller bag and check for free with Delta. The space and weight they took up would amount to about three travel neck pillows. For the most part, the BubbleBum worked okay with my daughter. She is about 44lbs and 46" tall. My sons are 40lbs and 41" tall. My daughter is pretty good about not moving around and slouching too much in the car, so she was fine. My boys can get squirrely and slouch in their seats. That would be one of the reasons why this seat didn't work well for them. Also being a bit shorter than my daughter, we tried to use the shoulder strap adjuster on the boys and it was completely useless. I'd only consider this seat if you're confident your child is tall enough to not have to use the shoulder strap adjuster! It just does not work and stay in place, let alone help position the shoulder strap. Thankfully, our boys are tall enough that the shoulder strap adjuster wasn't absolutely critical. The strap would slowly creep around from the back of them to the side and they'd accidentally put their arm through it, pushing the strap in front of their body. It also did not stay tightened well. From time to time, the kids would also not be centered on the seats because it's just too easy to slide around and move. Even though we made sure to tighten the lap portion of the belt really well, it's just too easy to inadvertently shift and be sitting on half of the seat. Since it's softer than a regular booster and does not have hard armrests to create a barrier, a kid probably is not going to notice as much if they're sitting wrong. If your kid falls asleep in the car and they slump away from the direction of the seatbelt, they will just be awkwardly hanging there. I guess that's the case with any child booster seat that's backless, but keep that in mind if you've got a kid who will fall asleep in the car. Another reason why I wouldn't recommend this for a kid of any age for more than a short trip. I'll be holding onto these seats for future emergency use or possible travel situations, carpool, etc. since we really do not have a lot of options with our kids at their current ages and stages. I'd avoid driving as much as humanly possible with my kids in these seats, though. Hopefully if you're reading this, you weren't considering the BubbleBum for everyday use anyway. I wouldn't even consider it for everyday use if my kids were several years older. Yes, it's a major space-saver, but if that's your main concern, there are a lot of other much safer options out there to accommodate to your situation. Even a regular backless booster that's firm and has the arms on the side to help position the belt and the kid is 1000x better (not to mention cheaper).

We bought this booster for my 5 year old for traveling, we kept it in our carry on and inflated it when we arrived at our destination. So much better then lugging a car seat through the airport or renting through car rental company- which we did for our other child because she hasn’t met the weight requirements for this booster seat and were not happy with the car seat provided. This seat is comfortable and if used properly it doesn’t slide all over. The only downside is no cup holders but really can’t complain!

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 isn't 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 wouldn't 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 he's 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 i'm 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 you're 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, I'll 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.

Lo compré para viajar a Estados Unidos con mi hijo de 4 años, para ponerlo en el auto de mi cuñada. Rápido de instalar y fácil de usar. Mi hijo estuvo cómodo durante todo el viaje, el único comentario que creo que pudieran mejorar es la forma en que se ajusta el cinturón pues si el niño lo deseaba podía jalarlo y quitárselo. Tuvimos que explicarle varias veces que dejara de hacerlo pues era por su seguridad

As per marketed, good quality and convenient

.

Un excelente diseño para su portabilidad. Viajamos con una pareja de amigos que llevaron también a su nene y cargaron con el booster tradicional en el avión. Al momento de poner ambos asientos para los niños, el Bubble dejó claro que no sólo es estable y práctico sino también súper seguro, rápido de inflar y fácil de instalar.

Great for when you need to secure your kid in a taxi. My son loves it. But wouldn't say its 100% secured. However, it is definitely convenient for short journeys.
