New mifold Comfort Grab-and-go Car Backless Booster Seat- Compact and Portable for Every Day, Carpooling, Travel, Compact for Every Day, Comfortable for Every Adventure, Ocean Blue

Bought this for a recent trip and it was perfect! So easy to install in the Uber/hotel shuttle and then quickly store in our carry-on luggage. Exactly the solution we needed now that our son doesn’t need the car seat on the plane. Highly recommend!

I wanted to give this 4.5 stars because it's PERFECT for travel and on-the-go but daughter said it wasn't comfortable for regular use. So I think it's a 5-star for it's likely intended purpose (travel, easy availability of a seat for carpools, etc.) but we wouldn't use it for everyday.We bought this to take along on vacation to use in Ubers/taxis. It was PERFECT for that - tiny/light enough to stash away in a backpack and really fast to whip out and install while luggage was being loaded into trunk. Practice with it first - you need to adjust the shoulder strap to the correct height for your child and that could be stressful if a driver is waiting for you! (It's easy but things are always stressful if someone is waiting and you're not sure what you're doing! After it's fitted you can just leave it at that height, no further adjustments needed.) The clips that hold the belt down on the sides have three widths they can slide out to. For our almost-five-year-old we found that just moving it to the first notch was good. The third was too far out (and dug into us as it was spread pretty far in the middle seat!) and leaving it all the way in was too tight. It's got a lot of room for growth and we'll get a ton out of this over the years for use as a quick seat and for travel. (We will certainly buy a second when our littler one is big enough for this! I'm glad they offer other colors now - that will make it easy to know which shoulder strap is the right height for which child.) We never had any problems with the latches staying in the position we moved them to - I read that in several reviews that they would just slide right back in but that hasn't happened to us at all.We did take this on a few trips in our truck before we left for our trip to be sure that we liked it and were quick with it. Daughter was THRILLED to try it out but after a few errands said that it was not comfortable. Plus they sit low on the seat and that's sort of a bummer for them since they can't really see out the windows. So this isn't an everyday seat but it's great for its intended use.Pros:~ Super small and light - I cannot stress enough how little space it took up in our carry-on backpack!!!~ Very quick and easy to use - I had no problems getting it set up in the back seat while husband and driver loaded luggage into the trunk.~ Cost is MORE THAN REASONABLE for what you're getting here. We saw a lot of booster seats being schlepped on the planes and cruise ship and man... that would be a bummer! This was a total bargain!!!~ I believe it now comes in multiple colors, which would be handy if you have more than one using this - that way the shoulder strap is already adjusted to the correct height for each kid and it's easy to know which seat belongs to which kid.~ An older child wouldn't have any problem setting this up and getting themselves strapped in - good for if parents are working with a little one or when older kids are carpooling - they won't really need help from the driving parent.Cons:~ Not super comfortable for longer trips or everyday use.~ When the belt positioners were all the way out they dug into our legs (Mifold was in the middle, adults on each side) in a smaller backseat. This could be an issue in any small backseat and any booster!)

My son loves this seat more than the booster seats. Especially since we have a compact car with 3 car seats

I bought this car seat as a gift for my brother in the US (I'd seen it on Indiegogo and thought it was a really clever idea). They got it last week when I was visiting and this is what they told me - "this is just about the smartest thing you could have got us." They have two kids aged 8 and 6 and they car share a lot to take their kids to school. That's why I thought it would be good for them. And also because when I'm staying with them, I can't fit in the back of the car with their two kids and their old car seats!Now I've seen it and tried it out I really think it's great. And so do they. It's just so small but it seems to work well. It's about the size of large paperback book that folds out to create a flat seat about a quarter of an inch thick. It has guides on the sides that hold the seat belt in the right position over the hips and a strap that goes up the back of the child to hold it in place over the shoulder. Other reviewers have said it's not that comfortable. However that's not our experience at all. I was worried my niece would find it hard to sit on as although there's some padding on it, it's not especially soft. But she doesn't have a problem with it. It seems to sink into the seat a little so is quite comfortable for her.It's different to a normal car seat and so it does take some getting used to (how to clip the belt in, how to set it up). But once you get it, it's fine. of course the kids seem to get it faster than the adults!I was pleasantly surprised by how heavy it is. It's more than just a little piece of plastic and it does seem to be high quality.But it's the size that makes it so different. The mifold website says you can fit three in a row in the back of a normal car and I can see that happening. It really is that small. As an adult I can fit in the back with the two kids really easily too. And my brother will store it in the pocket of the driver seat when not using it - no big clumsy polystyrene seats cluttering up the car (he's a bit of a neat freak).It's not perfect however. The red belt guides need to be released with a little lever to pull them out but are pushed back in too easily. This should be changed as the position of the belt can move as a result (although not so it affects the child). And the instruction manual has its own little slot (which is great to have always to hand) but it's not so easy to get it in or out. But these are minor issues really.It's called portable and it really is. It will fit into a handbag or kids back pack really easily and you can take it anywhere. It's just a great concept and a a great product.The best review comes from my 6 year old niece who says she loves it. She says she feels like a big girl now! She will take it with her to school in her bag so she's always got a car seat when she's taken home by someone else. And she'll use it too, which I guess is the whole point. When will this be available on UK Amazon???
