RideSafer - Small Black, Lightweight, Compact, Portable Car Seat - Perfect for Travel and Everyday Child Safety

My oh my! This is it. The product i have desperately been looking for. I’m a special needs mom of 2 and one of my kids is Houdini and could escape every car seat or find a way to wear it inappropriately. I was so stressed about being pulled over, getting into a wreck and him being severely injured. This seat belt literally saves his life. It’s expensive but WORTH IT. You technically no longer need a car seat. This is the car seat. It stores in a small bag and easy for travel and can be used in any car. You use the seatbelt from the car to strap them in. You also have an anchor to hook to the back of the seat if you have one. He literally cannot get out. Try not to make it so tight they can’t move a single inch cause he was uncomfortable that way. So we lightly loosened it but not too much. We do put a booster under him for everyday use because it simply makes it feel bettter and safer and naturally he fits better into the seat. I do not believe it’s require for travel though. I no longer have to worry and moms who have this struggle whether they’re special needs or not this is the perfect product for you! No more worry. To whoever created this product thank you so much.

This travel harness has been a lifesaver for traveling light. It completely eliminated the need to carry a bulky car seat, which made airport travel and moving between locations much easier. The harness fits nicely into a carry-on bag and is convenient for a child to wear while on the go. There is a small learning curve at first- I watched a few videos to make sure it was fitted correctly on my child and properly secured in the vehicle- but once I understood how it works, using it became quick and seamless. Overall, it’s a high-benefit solution for families who travel often and want a compact, practical alternative without sacrificing convenience.

Wow, just wow! This is the best thing ever for travel or even just riding in a friend's car at home. After the first use and initial sizing adjustments, it is so easy to use. It takes under a minute to put it on your kid before they get in the car and then seconds to buckle them in using the car's 3-point seatbelt. It comes in a carrying bag that is also a little backpack. Maybe you will have more success getting your child to carry the backpack. I usually put the vest in my bag. My child loves the ride safer vest. He even likes to wear it around after we get out of a vehicle, because it's like wearing a snuggly hug. It's fun to "ride without his car seat" in a regular seat using the regular seatbelt. My short child can't see out the side windows, but if he sits in the middle he can see out the front windshield. Note that it is not FAA approved for use in an airline seat. Benefits of air travel with this: 1) no more worrying about checking your car seat and potential damages or delays in receiving it at your destination 2) no more lugging a giant car seat with you through the airport 3) no more renting unknown/gross car seats from rental car companies or requesting Uber/Lyft with aforementioned questionable car seats 4) no more installing/uninstalling your car seat repeatedly in taxis, shuttle buses, tour buses etc As a shorter woman, this thing looks so comfortable, and routes the seatbelt so well over the shoulder and chest, I kind of want one for myself.

This small car seat is fantastic! It’s lightweight, easy to install, and perfect for travel or everyday use. Compact yet secure, it keeps my child safe and comfortable on the go. Highly recommend!

Little bigger for my 3 year old but still holds him. Wouldn’t use it for a long drive but it’s a great alternative to have a car seat in all of our cars, and we use it in our sprinter van to go on local adventures. It’s faster to put on my boy than place him in a car seat, he seems a little uncomfortable though but never complains. I think it’s a great value as it’s so much easier to bring this with us when we go traveling and take ride from the airport. I also like that it’s adjustable so it will be good for another 2-3 years I guess.

I was a little nervous at first, but this travel car seat completely exceeded my expectations. Once I set it up, it was actually very easy to take on and off—perfect for airports, rideshares, or switching vehicles. My son was comfortable the entire time and didn’t complain once, which is a huge win. It’s lightweight, convenient, and makes traveling so much less stressful. Highly recommend for any parent who needs a reliable on-the-go option!

I've purchased two Rider Safer Travel Vests in the past. One size Large, Model Number JD14201BLG, Manufactured September 2021. Another one was size Small, Model Number JD14101BLB, Manufactured September 2021. In December 2023, I purchased another Rider Safer Travel Vest, size Large, also Model Number JD14201BLG, Manufactured June 2023. However, the new Large vest has a rear waist pad that is two inches smaller than the Large vest manufactured in September 2021. Immediately on putting it on my son he complained that it was too tight. So, I'm not sure if there's a quality control issue or the sizing has change. But I'm going to find out. I'm ordering an X-Large. See the picture and you'll see that the new vest on top is clearly shorter by two inches. When the X-Large vest comes in, I'll up date this review. Aside for this current issue, we've never had an issue - any issue - with the two vests manufactured in 2021. I will say that the new vest did not come with a neck pillow. I'm not happy about that change but it's just $10 on the Rider Safer website. It would be nice if it was available for purchase at Amazon. But I couldn't find it. Update to review: I received the XL version of the Rider Safer Travel Vest. The current XL version has the same size back waist pad as the 2021 Large version. The XL version does actually fit my oldest son. He didn't immediately complain this time upon putting it on for the first time. The XL crotch strap is much much longer than on the Large version. My son is 7 years old and not particularly tall, probably average to just a bit shorter than average. I hope this helps you make a decision on which size to purchase for your child or children. All of my children are happy with their harnesses (travel vests). I definitely recommend this product. It's way better than travelling with a car seat when we go on vacation!

This product is wonderful. My car is not very spacious in the back so when the whole family travels, this is perfect for it. My son feels like he’s a race car driver! Love it!
