Product Information

The "more than 10x smaller” size claim is based on the external dimensions of the mifold grab-and-go booster seat, and the volume it occupies. Compared to regular booster seats commonly available in the markets, mifold is less than one-tenth of the size, or as we say, "more than 10x smaller.”

It’s also critical that your child achieve a safe seatbelt fit in any booster seat she’s going to use – more on that later in this mifold review. This mifold comfort (also available here) review covers the basics of mifold, who should use mifold, how to use mifold, how it fares in real world testing and hands-on comparisons of mifold versus competing folding booster seats. Hopefully this review will help you decide if mifold is the right choice for your family. What is the mifold travel booster seat? mifold is constructed using aircraft grade aluminium 6061 and a super tough plastic polymer called Delrin® 100ST from Dupont™. It has been successfully crash tested and each component rigorously tested to ensure its longevity even under the most extreme use as a child car seat. Can mifold be used by small adults? If you’re traveling overseas, the current Ride Safer travel vest may not be legal under the latest regulations even though older versions were. That’s a real shame, and I’ll be honest that we’ve always brought our own car seats to Europe including the vest. But if you want to feel confident that you won’t run into any legal issues, the hifold is a good choice. mifold is a safe belt positioning booster seat that is available all the time. Unlike traditional bulky booster seats, a child can always be safe with the innovative mifold belt positioning device - no matter whose car they are in.I love the concept of the tiny, compact Mifold booster seat, which is small enough to stash in my handbag or diaper bag. It simply unfolds and expands (those red tabs on the sides pull out) to adjust your child’s seat belt to the proper placement on his body. Overall, my kids and I like the hifold fit & fold booster seat. As you can see in the photos here, we had no issue getting a safe seatbelt fit on both of them thanks to all of the adjustments. Advantages of the hifold fit and fold booster The Bubblebum’s seating area is just a little bigger than mifold comfort’s seating area. Many parents don’t realize it, but kids aren’t supposed to sit on the silver part of Bubblebum! If your child’s bottom is on it, they need a bigger booster seat. mifold vs Bubblebum: seating area mifold vs hiccapop Uberboost At the very least, you’ll want to know the correct width settings for your kid, which is easy enough. My petite 5.5 year old needed the narrowest widths for everything and my small 8.5 year old was on the medium widths for the seat and torso, but narrowest for the headrest. The inconsistent seat belt fit makes the mifold a less than ideal solution. Unless you are familiar with the car you will be riding in, the mifold is not something we would recommend using with children when traveling or renting cars. This goes for taxis and ride shares as well. Using the RideSafer and mifold together

The Bubblebum clearly wins on portability – it only weighs about a pound and rolls up to the size of a side bottle. It also provides a great fit in every car we’ve tried, which is a lot. The mifold Original that is sold in the US is slightly different from the version sold in the rest of the world and is only regulated for use in the US. Neither mifold Original or mifold Basic are regulated for global use so for these two products we cannot advise you to use a mifold seat in a country where it is not regulated as local law enforcement may not recognize your version of the mifold seat. Where is mifold available? In this review, we specifically tried the mifold comfort. Thanks to a neighbor I had the opportunity to compare it to the original. While the bones of the two seats are basically the same, the new one is definitely an improvement!In this review, I’m taking a look at one of the most innovative child safety products of the last few years: the mifold folding booster seat. Thanks to our partners at Carfoldio, I have the opportunity to get hands-on and in-depth with their upgraded version, the new mifold comfort. While the mifold is crash tested for children starting at 4 years old and 40 pounds, we do not recommend using it for children this young. As we just mentioned, young children are less likely to stay properly seated. When using the tether strap with the RideSafer this is not an issue so we feel it is OK to use the RideSafer for a child this age. When a child is 5
