BubbleBum 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 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!

I was having a hard time finding a travel-friendly booster for my almost 8-year old and a friend suggested the BubbleBum. Super easy to inflate with just two breaths, lightweight, and easily deflates and rolls into a carry pouch. Just kept it in a tote bag while out and about. While I plan to use our rigid booster for primary driving use, this was so convenient for Ubers during vacation.

UPDATE: Received my replacement seat from Amazon - it's the exact same (old) manufacture date (as you can see from the picture of them both together). The only thing Amazon customer service could tell me is that they must not sell many of these, so all their stock is probably dated. I'm frustrated with the amazon experience - at the end of the day they say they can't sell a valid product, and there's nothing they will do about it. Bubble bum suggested they could help me, so I reached out to them, but they haven't yet replied to my email. So I still have no car seat! So I love this car seat - my problem is with the dated stock Amazon is selling. I owned one of these a couple of years ago, for my daughter. She loved it, it was all good. But my son didn't like the color (which is fair enough, it was very pink and he's 8). My son is now essentially out of a booster seat, but he's not quite the right height to ride without one. We were in a bad car accident once, and it only takes the ones to realize how important car seats and booster are. So yes, I am purchasing this for my 8.5 yr old! We first purchased one in November, for an international trip we were taking. It worked wonderfully - so simple and light to pack, great for moving in and out of various rental cars. However, while moving it around I glanced at the back - and realized it was already 1.5 years old/past manufacturing date. As most people who use them know, car seats have expiry dates (this is 4 years). So I'd already lost over 25% of the use of the seat. I returned it, Amazon refunded my money. We're about to take another trip, and besides, my son really likes this car seat. He especially likes that it's discrete. I like that I can easily move it to fit another (older) kid in the car. I was disappointed to discover that the one I received yesterday was almost a year old - that's going right back! I called Amazon and explained the situation. They're going to send me another (3rd times a charm?). But the lady on the phone explained that although the seats are sold by Amazon directly, there's nothing she can do to ensure they're new stock. So I'm going to give it one more go, and I'll update in a couple of days. But I suggest buying from a store where you can see the expiration date and check you're not getting old stock.

We really like our booster seat, but it is a bit big to travel with. In fact, every time we went to the airport, they made us try and stuff it through the x-ray machine. We would tell the TSA person that the last time or last two times, it got stuck, but they were persistent. And of course, it got stuck again. We decided that we needed an alternative for travel. After research, there are two decent options: the Trunki/Boostapak, which also functions as a backpack and is made of hard plastic, and the inflatable BubbleBum. Both are considered safe and include an adjustable belt positioning strap. The BubbleBum, however, is more practical for long car rides compared to the Trunki since the BubbleBum is naturally more comfortable (inflatable cushion vs. hard plastic). So, if you plan to fly and then travel in a car for a bit, this is your only option. Which is fine because this product is awesome. In fact, we purchased another one for the other car just because it is so convenient. If your child has a play date but needs to bring a car seat, or if you find that you have to suddenly transport one of your child's friends in your car, you are ready. If you need a third booster in between two larger car seats, this one will work. It is easy to use, my child--who can sometimes struggle with securing a seat belt--has no difficulties putting this one on. Additionally, it literally takes about 15 seconds to take it out of the bag, inflate it, and secure the positioning strap on the seat belt. If there is one con, it is just that you will have to check to make sure your child put the safety belt through BOTH red loops (pictured) on each side. Since I generally install the seat first, securing the positioning strap on the safety belt, I slip the safety belt into the red loop so that my child will just have to worry about positioning the strap and then buckling in on the other side, and slipping the safety belt into the other red loop. Thanks to all the other reviewers for writing such detailed reviews as it convinced me to purchase the first one. Hopefully, you likewise found this review helpful.

Shd work perfectly for my growing grandchildren

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.
