Review: Orlando trip lifesaver， Saved us so much on rideshare fees. - We took a family trip to Orlando and brought this BubbleBum booster for my 7-year-old son. It was hands down one of the best travel purchases we made! Carrying it around was completely effortless，it inflates in seconds and packs down tiny into our day bag when deflated. Best of all, it saved us so much money and hassle with Ubers because we didn't have to pay extra for rideshare vehicles equipped with car seats. My son found it comfortable throughout the entire trip, and he loved the fun Rainbow design. If you're traveling with kids, this is an absolute must have
Review: Excellent travel car seat! - Great product! Used this booster seat for traveling in Europe with my 4 year old. It was lightweight, easy to carry in a backpack, worked great. It was easy to blow up and deflate. Was very happy with the product!

## Features

- Crash Tested, Seatbelt Secured: BubbleBum is independently crash tested to exceed FMVSS 213 federal standards, giving your child verified protection in any vehicle with a standard 3-point seatbelt; no LATCH anchors or special hardware required. The seatbelt secures both child and seat firmly in position for every ride. Fits children 40-110 lbs, ages 4-11. State booster seat laws vary, so check your local requirements
- Inflates in 20 Seconds, Packs Flat: Pull BubbleBum from your bag, inflate by mouth in approximately 20 seconds, buckle up, and ride. No pump, no bulk, no hassle. Deflated, it collapses to just 12 x 6 x 4 inches, small enough to slip into a purse, backpack, or carry-on. That means rental car counters, rideshare pickups, and taxi lines are no longer a scramble; your child's seat is always with you
- Comfortable Rides, Easy Cleanup: The soft inflatable cushion is designed for long drives, keeping kids comfortable through summer road trips, holiday visits, and cross-country adventures. When snacks happen, cleanup is simple; just wipe the surface with a damp cloth and you're ready for the next leg. BubbleBum's lifetime support commitment backs every seat as a durability trust signal for busy parents
- Slim Profile, 3 Across Fit: BubbleBum's narrow, slim design lets 3 kids sit side by side in the back row of compact cars, SUVs, and minivans alike. Carpool pickups, school runs, and family road trips with multiple children no longer require a seat shuffle. As a space-saving alternative to standard rigid boosters, its slim profile fits comfortably in tight back rows, making it the practical choice for families juggling 3 children in one row
- Travel Everywhere, Plan Around Nothing: From weekend getaways and sports tournaments to grandparent visits and holiday travel, BubbleBum goes wherever your family goes. Lightweight and compact, it stores in a small apartment closet and switches between vehicles in seconds, ideal for parents who move between rideshares, rental cars, and carpools daily. Families have trusted BubbleBum for over 15 years, and every seat is backed by a lifetime support commitment
- Quick Inflation and Deflation: The booster inflates in seconds and deflates just as quickly, transforming from a full-size, safety-certified booster seat into a compact package that fits easily into any bag or storage compartment for convenient on-the-go use

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Will this seat stay inflated during a long car journey?**
A: Yes. Twist the valve cap open and blow until the seat is firm to the touch, then twist the cap shut. TIP - keep cap covered by mouth while twisting closed to prevent air escaping. A correctly inflated BubbleBum holds air for any journey length.

**Q: Is this big enough for my 7, 8 or 9-year-old?**
A: BubbleBum inflates to 4" tall with seating area of 12“ by 12’. It fits children 40–110 lbs, ages 4–11. It's a backless booster — it positions the seatbelt correctly. Measure your child’s height to ensure that they’re between 40 and 57 Inches

**Q: How do I inflate it — do I need a pump?**
A: No pump needed. Blow into the valve for 20–30 seconds until firm, then twist the cap closed. The cover stretches as it fills — keep inflating if it looks uneven. TIP - keep cap covered by mouth while twisting closed to prevent air escaping.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Convenient, lightweight, easily packed and fast inflation - currently the best designed booster seat for traveling
*by S***T on November 17, 2015*

This is an outstanding idea - and it's well executed. This booster seat is incredibly lightweight, it's easy and fast to inflate/deflate, it's very compact when deflated (folded or rolled up), it's made of quality and durable materials - and it's easy on the car's interior (won't damage your seats). From the functional standpoint, this seat is small and sits a little lower than more conventional booster seats. The belt guides are sturdy and made of quality materials that shouldn't damage seat belts over time. Overall - this is a great product. Nevertheless, I need to temper the positive aspects of this booster seat with the fact this type of booster seat (lap belt guide only) should only be used with a secondary type of restraint - like a safety vest that incorporates belt guides for both the lap and shoulder belts. A great example is the Ride Safer vest system by Safe Traffic Systems. The Ride Safer vest not only properly guides both the lap and shoulder belts, it's reinforced, padded and is designed to better distribute crash forces over a much larger area than what a standard seat belt is capable of. I think this is a two-way relationship as well, though. The best application of the Ride Safer vest is in conjunction with a quality (certified) booster seat like this one. I think it is important to frame an opinion, and help the reader understand the perspective from which a review is written - especially when that opinion is regarding safety equipment. I have a two-decade background in military safety, relating to both off-duty (ground) safety and aviation safety - to include mishap investigation. This experience includes investigating motor vehicle mishaps (there is no such thing as an "accident"). Motor vehicle fatalities account for over 30,000 deaths per year in the U.S. (33,561 in 2012*). Children account for approximately 1,200 of these deaths. While this number seems tiny compared to the total number of fatalities - the number of child fatalities per mile is comparable to adults. The exposure rate of adults is simply higher (the number of hours the average adult is on the road when compared to children - and children account for only 1/6th of the population). The number of children injured in motor vehicle mishaps in the U.S. is however staggering - approximately 170,000 children per year. One of the biggest contributing causal factors for child injuries and deaths is the child being out of position relative to the restraining device - preventing the safety equipment from restraining and mitigating the forces of the crash properly. The only purpose a booster seat serves is to better position (elevate) a child relative to the shoulder strap, to prevent the shoulder strap from riding up a child's neck and face by ensuring the proper angle of the shoulder belt (relative to the child's shoulder and neck). This angle is critical for any occupant. If the occupant sits too high relative to the shoulder belt (typically an adult or tall child), a collision can cause geometry-related secondary spinal injuries (mid and lower back) caused by the shoulder belt transmitting too much crash energy to the mid and lower back. If the occupant sits too low (typically with a small child), a collision can result in the child sliding under the shoulder belt - which can severely injure the child's neck (and face). The biggest problem with using a booster seat that only guides the lap belt is in the assumption that booster seat will keep a child in the correct position relative to the shoulder strap for the entirety of your travels (and therefore safe). If you have a kid - then you know any assumption that your child is going to stay in one position is simply not even remotely similar to reality. Kids move and wiggle around a lot, and a booster seat equipped with simple lap belt guides is not going to do anything to maintain the proper shoulder belt alignment with your precious, perpetual motion, micro human. Unfortunately, the results can be tragic. This is why I strongly believe in a certified safety vest like the Ride Safer safety vest in conjunction with a properly designed booster seat. A certified and tested safety vest physically attaches (and therefore attaches your child) to the seat belt, and the vest's belt guides help ensure the child's position remains correct at all times - and the booster seat ensures there is not any excess force transmitted to the child's neck and head in a collision by providing the proper geometry of the shoulder belt relative to the vest's upper belt guide. This particular inflatable booster seat is the perfect travel companion - especially with a certified safety vest. While automotive safety vests and booster seats are not certified and should not be used for air travel, they can be easily packed and used in taxi cabs, and in the event the front seat is the only available place for the child. While not optimal (a back seat is considered safer than the front seat for children), a child can safely travel with the combination of this booster seat and the safety vest in the front seat of a car, truck or two-seat sports car - and this is also legal in most states (check your local laws for specific requirements and restrictions). If this is done, you should of course ensure the child is sitting as far back from an airbag (if so equipped) as possible, or if your car is equipped with an airbag deactivation device (many cars do this automatically based on the weight in the passenger seat), then it is recommended it be deactivated for individuals weighing less than about 65-70lbs. I would not recommend using this booster seat (any booster seat) by itself in the front seat. I would only recommend the use of a booster seat in the front seat when used in conjunction with a certified safety vest that meets Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards (FMVSS 213). This review and my mentioning of the Ride Safer safety vest in this review were both unsolicited by their respective manufacturers. I did not receive any compensation (in any form) for my review. *NHTSA DOT HS 812 011
